Great build nicely put together When I was building some outdoor flights a few years back when it came to creating access to the outdoor flights I used some cat flaps mounted upside down so that when the flap falls flat it creates a landing platform, being made of plastic they are very easy to clean also the cat flaps have a built in lock
dear Ant.................your birds are lucky birds with this wonderful aviary..........good job............Blessings and Greetings from Daggy,Kiel,Germany☘☘☘
Ant, what a lovely hobby! Your birds are so beautiful! They are chattering away telling how they love their new home! Your stone house is beautiful, too! Well done! , love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻
What a marvelous aviary! Great job, Ant. Thank you for sharing this project. Looks like the birds are thrilled with their new home. My grandmother had an aviary and I would watch those birds for hours.
Hiya Ant & Jack,job well done,as always! Nice to see the teamwork, good clean ,sturdy job,and the trick with the paint l was shown as a child by an aviray builder for his peach faced finches😊Always happy to see you at work,thankyou for this upload!(your dry walling my favourite watches❤)Take care,be well and content.Julia ( D's mother) Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 😀 🪃.
@@darlener824 thank you Darlene I’m glad you liked it I wasn’t sure if people would like it so thank you .. I will keep everyone up to date with any eggs or babies
Thank you Anthony for making this video. It really made me smile watching the little birds at the end. You have done a brilliant job and the birds seemed very excited while you were building. All chatting about their new home. Jack is a real chip off the old block. he he.. Well done to both of you.
Ahhh yes Indeed, a beautiful learning experience as we in Newfoundland and Labrador don't have these aviary! It must be too cold & windy here in our Atlantic provinces. Thanks again and Take care 🍁🇨🇦👏🦋🌈
Ant so enjoyed the project and video. Brought back memories of my granddad who raised beautiful small birds. It was the first thing he would show us grandchildren, was his new little one. Wish I had been old enough to remember his name for them. I can’t tell you are excited about these birds. What a wonderful carding nature you have. Thank you.
The local nursery has one with finches. When my daughter was young, I would leave her sitting in front of it and go shopping in peace for the plants I wanted to put in my flower beds.
Hi Ant . The aviary looks great and the birds are happy. I have many finches come to my garden here in Aus, and they love to eat oranges. I cut the oranges in 1/4 pieces so everyone gets a bit. It's lovely to just sit and watch the birds isn't it. Thanks Ant 👍👍😊
Very nice job. That was very interesting. Putting that black paint on ....cool idea. I love seeing all the birds in the little groups. Looks like they are enjoying their new home.
This was so much fun to watch! I’ve never seen so many little birds together like that, it must be enjoyable to have them right there at your house! Great idea with the black paint! Thank you Ant & Jack!
I haven’t seen a clothes drying rack for ages. Here in the us you hardly see any laundry drying outside. In many places it’s not allowed. Visual clutter and all that.
I would love to have a clothesline again !!!! We have Amish in Iowa who hang clothes outside all year long. Some have clotheslines that go from the house all the way up a huge light pole. They use a pulley system. 😊
This is such a beautiful idea and quite an impressive structure as well. A home to loads of birds! I have never seen an aviary till just now. Nice to work side by side with Jack . Can’t wait for you to show us the birds that are attracted ! Great paint job , Jack ! Perhaps Kate will have you build her an aviary ?? ❤ Marilyn xx
Wow! This is crazy! What a chatter going on. I think I love it. Have you thought about putting in some small plants or vines to make it more natural, similar to an aquarium? You could even paint some plants on the back walls if you're an artist.
Great job , is there any way you can give the alonger flight , I mean by making a outside tunnel that gives then more freedom to fly with some tree branches,making it feel natural to them ,
Hi Ant, what a skilled craftsman you are, Kate's Cabin & new stairway to the treehouse just great. Tell me WHO does the filming when your making these projects? X
Hi Anthony. Great job on your aviary. I love birds myself. Can I ask what this is all for ? I’ve never seen someone have something like this before. Do you study the birds ? Feed them ? Is it expensive to feed the birds ? More info please 😊 Thank you !
Great to see this vid! Knowing you have an aviary is great! Hope you get some chicks! Came here from Last Homely House Channel and all the wonderful things you’ve done for Kate.🦌💌❤️👍🪚🛠️🔨
Seeing as how I’m named after a bird, this project brought me a lot of joy! Fascinating…! How many birds can you shelter in a facility such as this? I know you said that you plan to breed them; do you intend to sell them, too? Thanks very much for sharing such an interesting video, Ant! And thanks to Jack for helping, too!
@@robinmccamont Hi Robin .. great name by the way .. the aviary can house probably fifty birds but I’m not sure I will keep that many and I will sell some as there is a lot of demand for them in my local area
@@ants_countrylife - Thanks, Ant! I suspected that you would eventually be selling some of the birds… and wow! 50 birds! That’s quite a lot! Bet they make quite a lot of noise when you’re at full capacity. How long do they live on average? I had parakeets when I was a kid, but they never seemed to live very long. I don’t know if I just had bad luck with them, or if they just have short life spans. Anyway, keep up the great work! Love your videos!
Thanks for this neat video, Ant. The little finches are so cute. They really like their new home don't they? I have never seen a build like this, but then I don't know anyone that raises birds like this. Y'all have a Blessed day. By the way, do your canaries sing?
@@ants_countrylifeI remember as a little girl when I lived in Canada, there was a program on the radio, that was canaries singing. If you had a canary, this program was supposed to teach it to sing. They do have lovely songs. Thanks again for your video.
Is this for birds to live in or do they come and go?? My grandmother had a pair of love birds, they lived in a beautiful bird house, in the summer the Hugh cage was hung from the ceiling of her front porch. When they sang it was beautiful. Your birds are so happy and lovely. Thank you for this post!
Why do you have the birds?? Do they serve a purpose or just for enjoyment?? Great work on the new “ bird house “ now you need a new shed Ant and thanks Jack
You said they can go out….do you mean they are free to fly “out” into the wild? Will they return? Glad Jack was there to give you hand, looked like a big job. Thanks for sharing with us.
So the lesson here is... If you want the neighbors to see everything you do, paint your fence black ... If all you want them to see is your fence, paint it white. 💕🌞🌵😷
@@kayherstedt6618 the birds in the aviary aren’t native to the uk so are kept in flights so they can live outside but also have shelter to go in to inside
Have you had an aviary in the past? What a lovely thing to have in your yard. Do the birds come from a pet store or did you keep them in a difference place? Very nice…
@@paulaconcannon29 I’ve always kept birds and these came from breeders who also show them … I had a small aviary down the side of my garden but needed a bigger one
Great build nicely put together
When I was building some outdoor flights a few years back when it came to creating access to the outdoor flights I used some cat flaps mounted upside down so that when the flap falls flat it creates a landing platform, being made of plastic they are very easy to clean also the cat flaps have a built in lock
@@gordo2.097 great idea I will look in to that cheers
The black paint was like an unexpected magic trick in the video 😊
@@thatgirlinokc3975 it’s quite amazing isn’t it
I love the birds! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing your son, too. You are a talented team.
Thankyou Susan the birds are great but Jack Is awesome
Beautiful new home for your birds. I love watching your work. From Michigan, USA.
Great work Ant ,love that you have Australian finches. Well done from down under here in Australia
The birds are lovely, and I really loved how they spoke to each other as you were building their beautiful new home. Thanks for sharing!

@@loriholland6431 Thankyou and I’m the same I watch them all the time
I had zebra finches for several years. I found they didn't lay eggs until they were moved out of the family space and into a more isolated space. 💕🌞🌵😷

How blessed are the birds. Such a wonderful new home for them😊 Nice to meet Jeff🙏
Fascinating! Our neighbor raises hawks and trains them, but they don’t have flights
What a wonderful aviary! Loved how your son came to join you in the build, also. Great work, guys!!

The aviary turned out really nice & the birds all seem to really enjoy it. I love watching all your projects.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing your birds with us and so good to see you and Frank work so well together..he seems to be a talented builder also.
Loved seeing the aviary emerging into a great home for the little birds to flock together and listening to their happy bird songs. 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
I love birds. Beautiful aviary. Great job.
Thankyou Wendy

The birds sound like they are giving y’all advice on how to build the interior spaces. 😆🐦🐤🕊️
I don't know a single person in the states with an aviary. What a unique idea! Keep 'em coming, Ant!
The local nursery has one with finches. When my daughter was young, I would leave her sitting in front of it and go shopping in peace for the plants I wanted to put in my flower beds.
So amazing!!…. & one of my favorite parts is hearing all the bird sounds as you & Jack work❣️I also love how natural & “rough” you made it…😊
