So my birds do get some seed, but it is part of a vet-approved mix that includes pellets and fresh food. They chopped greens and produce make up the bulk of the mix.
Very cool aviary. Would hope that the cockatoo is not included as an introductory bird as it’s really not. I think it’s very cool that you have enough space to house different species safely.
I so enjoyed the tour of your aviary....thank you! Your birds are fantastic, and your set-up is excellent. I love your center forest .... oh, all of it was great!
I use a smaller cage mounted to the side as a feeding area, birds quickly learn to go inside for food and it makes it easy to catch them up for vet visits, etc. Just make sure you have enough feeding stations for the number/variety of birds you have
I am so glad you feed pellets and not seed! What a fabulous aviary!

Your aviary is so beautiful and your birds look very happy ❤
Thanks! It is definitely some work to maintain it and I hope my birds enjoy it :)

Thanks! I love having such a densely planted area in my aviary, I think it helps offset any aggression and helps maintain the mix of species.
Awesome! Very informative. Plan to build a 500SF aviary in a couple of years
I want to start my own. How are able to get vet checkups with so many birds?

Hi I am in austin. Do the birds stay in that aviary in winter as well?
The birds in that aviary live in there year round. In winter the aviary is wrapped in plastic sheeting and heat lamps are put up.
Wow I’m mesmerized 😵💫😵💫😵💫 thank you
Glad you like it!
Where do the birds go during a feeze?
The entire aviary is wrapped in plastic during the winter, and then the night shelter area has solid walls and heat lamps
Nice😎
Thanks!
