I am hoping the video loads for the aviary my husband finally built for the birds! They LOVE it!

It doesn't need to be Youtube, photobucket works too!!!

I would be very interested in the aviary your husband built. Looking for ideas.

Thank you for the video. It has given me some good ideas.

You have got all your birds - cockatoos, greys, amazons and chickens in the same enclosure???

Interesting...

yeah, everyone gets along great! I have had a person from the local zoo come out here yesterday (friend of the family) and they said they are amazed at how everyone gets along so well. They always have. Even when I had them in the sunroom together, cage doors were always open, and one of the amazons and cockatoos are bonded. The cockatoo lets (makes) the amazon groom her! The chicken are babies,(huge I know) and they just hang out in the aviary at night, and are let out first thing in the morning!

How do you get your birds from the house to the aviary? Do you put them in a carrier to take them out to it?

 

[carrie777]

I have their wings clipped, so I just carry them out-2x2LOL. BUT it has been so nice out the past couple of nights, they have spent the night out there, and love it! I have made a few improvments so they are protected from weather and such since I did the video. and they are right outside my bedroom window-which I have left open so I can see and hear them in case anything happens.

I noticed you guys used chain link fencing, is that safe to use? I only ask because I have been trying to research whether or not its something that I could use or if I should just go with stainless steel. Can they not get toxic side effects from what you guys used?

 

[carrie777]

I know of several zoos that use chain link- as well as my vet- who is a breeder has her aviary made from chain link kennel panels. Everyone I have talked to says it is safe.
