Nice. Im in process of setting up aviary.

sweet. I'm about to build my own lovebirds aviary. Thanks!

Nice bro

Where did you get your cages?

How do you catch your birds

For me the major advantage is the ability of the birds to build their strength by flying reasonable distances. I have 2 aviaries with a common birdroom and find the birds to be much stronger than those that spend all their lives in cages. Natural daylight and access to rain showers also seems to help. I do however hang all my nestboxes inside.

Thank you Chris for the video, it was kind of interesting one. Just wondering have you faced stargazing on birds when you transferring them from such large aviary to smaller cage? Thanks.

No I haven't had any issues with star gazing with the gouldians.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have floor tray for cleaning? How often do you clean the aviary? Cheers

I have news paper to cover the floors and I change the cages out every saturday.

That's a good for breeding. I'll make like that for my bird farm

And for example if u breed gouldians in a big aviary is it not a risky situation which they might inbreeding??

@birdnerd

You definitely have the risk of inbreeding. You will need to make sure that all of your birds are not related or you don't put nest boxes in for them to breed if you have multiple birds that are related in the same cage together. Your best option would be to put them in breeding cages so you can choose your pairs.

How do you heat your aviary in the winter with snow and extreme cold?

Can you breed canaries in a aviary? I have 30 canaries and am currently building a indoor aviary for them. It’s 10 ft long by 5 ft wide with 7 ft high ceilings. Do you think this is big enough? For canaries I have a pair fancy gloster and boarders and two pair of mini canaries and black canary and red factors and red agate and 1 Russian male canary and a pair of solid yellows and a pair of white. I also have some rust colored red and a few pink canaries. I have just about a equal number of males to females. I just wanted to know if it’s possible to breed canaries in aviary?

You have a great collection of canaries. You can definitely breed in a colony setting with canaries. Just beware that it can be tricky during the breeding season as males will become aggressive towards each other and will fight.

Hi, don't you experience some difficulties with mixing parakeets and finches in one aviary? I have about 30 finches (gouldians, canaries, and other species) and one pair of budgies. I had to take the budgies away because they destroyed all the finches nests. Do you have some tips for me maybe how to handle this problem? Greetings from Belgium

@birdnerd

Great question. Yes parakeets can become very destructive and nosy birds. I would not suggest breeding them with any other birds but their own species. In my large flights I don't usually breed birds together so i'm not too worried about the parakeets disturbing nest. But is you watched my latest video on the parakeets I did end up separating them into their own cage to breed so they wouldn't disturb any of the smaller finches.

birdnerd thanks for the response, my problem or ‘issue’ is that i always breed in the aviary. So i guess my only option is to take away the budgies then in a seperadge cage. Furthermore i want to say that i like your videos very much so keep posting new ones please. Grts

wow

The outside aviary is 12’ by 12’ then there is an inside section that they can fly into as well.

Another reason birds will not breed is if there are not enough nest-building materials i.e. straws, hay, etc.

Why do you Americans destroy the English language. Just say aviary. You don’t need to try and and pronounce the I and A It’s pronounced avry. The same as vehicle 🚗. Why do you lot use the H.
