Most of the day they just hang around eachother and chill. I've tried giving them toys but they have not been interested.
Sometimes I play videos of bourkes singing for the male. He loves to sing along and tries to find what he thinks are new birds in the house. He's really animated and excited...
Ok so I suddenly have a bunch on mites on/in the floor of one of my Aviaries.
None on the pair of birds in that aviary yet and I have also used avian insect liquidator to prevent it from happening.
I don't clean the floors super regularly but it's still done regularly enough.
Now in the...
Hi again everyone,
We are building a outdoor aviary for our flock of cockatiels and conures. I want to put some plants in there that are safe for them to nibble etc I grow a bunch of herbs and also have a laurel bay leaf tree. Does anyone know if the laurel bay leaf tree is toxic to our birds...
I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a trustworthy seller I can purchase an aviary for my Green Cheek Conure, Bongo, that's in my budget range.:gcc:

Hello all I’m looking at taking a aviary bird from a pet shop that is basically just going to be thrown back in to circulation if I don’t take it,it’s 5-6 months old and is a gcc not sure what sex the reason why I’m writing this is because I’m wondering if it’s worth it to take it at that age or...
Hi all! So, I’ve been thinking of getting a sun conure, which has to stay outside year-round. During the warmer months, this is no problem because I have a nice shaded spot for the hot days. I also will be free flight training outside in a netted area to begin with. My family and I spend a lot...
Hello everyone!
I have four lovebirds, two couples. One of the couples is descendent from the other. When the first couple had babies and they all grew up, the mother started attacking them, so I separated them, resulting in one couple per cage.
Right now, I take the two cages outside every...
I've been thinking of making a DIY PVC tube perch for Callum. Any advice? I had a very rudimentary one before I moved and he didn't pick at the toys too much, he just loved looking out his window. Should I add toys despite his apparent disinterest in them before? How tall should it be?
I'm...
Some time down the road, I'd like to build a larger aviary for my littles. I have a 10' round sandy area in my backyard where an above-ground pool used to sit. It's the perfect spot for the aviary. I have two Lovebirds, two Budgies, and now I have the cockatiel my sister decided was better in my...
So im planning on building a couple of cages for my birds. One is an aviary for our budgies, the other is a cage for a cockatiel we would like to get. Recently i found 2 available as a bonded pair, and while we where planning for one, we'd hate to break them up, but want to make sure the cage is...
Hello everyone, new member and fairly new bird owner here. My first bird, Chicken, a sulfur crested cockatoo, is my best friend and she has strongly bonded to me. I'm building an outside aviary in my back yard for her. I need to know what kinds of things I need to be cautious of in...
Hello all,
I'm new to the forums (well at least posting, been browsing them for a while). I'm looking to purchase the below aviary so I can take my green cheeks outside with me, but am not certain on the spacing. It's been simple finding countless resources on bar spacing for birds when they...

I'm still looking for metal to make an Aviary. I found this website which sells industrial protective fencing. Most of their products just say "steel", could that automatically mean it is not galvanized?
Purchase Wire Mesh Panels, Welded Wire Mesh Panel, Wire Mesh Panel, Metal Mesh Panel...
All I can find being sold around me is Galvanized metal. Is there any inexpensive way to make that metal bird safe? I'm desperate to build an aviary but I cannot find the resources.

Whoops, starting a new thread again!
Lately I've been doing research on outdoor aviaries, prices and construction.

I've been considering becoming the owner of a pair of Greater Vasas for a while now but can find little advice on care. This has been holding me off.
I hope someone here will be able to help. I don't want to have Vasas if I can't make them happy.
Firstly the environment.

I have three cockatiels, two male and one female, and the males are fighting a lot recently and I think it's because the cage is too small. I don't have enough room in the house for a bigger cage, but we just built a huge chicken run and have a lot of material left over. I'm thinking of making...
