New Avairy

[Scully]

Well we went and bought an avairy..and saw Battybirdie..although you dont say ''Are you Battiebirdie?'' i think even Mr Scully would have walked away.

We had a chat and umm and ahhhed about which one with Batty
Back at home...what an ordeal..now Mr Scully is not your best diy person to say the least..sooooo around 4hrs and lots of
plenty of ... a few between us..we got it put together!!

Even the boyz waited and wached in thier makeshift avairy


its 9ft x 3ft


The boyz love it..but after watching Graham its just too much for a birdie that cannot fly. If it started raining, by the time he climbed in the box ..all 9ft he would be soaked. Also i did not think i would like to leave him either, incase he fell down, as its on concreate.

Sugar was stunned when i put her in, and did not know what to do. I got loads of strokes and tickles out of her for a while. Aaww i do love my scruffy little Sug

Shes found the hidey thing i bought her though i put it inside the shelter.

..a large blue Mancaw


Graham went for a spin around the garden


trying to take off from the ground bless him


hehe..spot the birdie..he liked climbing around in my little tree


I did'nt buy much for the avairy, i have just made do with what i have at the moment. Needs a nice rope perch

Oooh, looks wonderful! Although, I think there's a law about putting Mr Scully in an aviary

Ummm, did we not buy some tiels?

[Berserka]

I love that aviary it looks fantastic!! A++ for you Scully!
Now you are just going to have to buy more birds for it.
I'd suggest putting some shadecloth on the exposed roof as wild birds can poop into the aviary and we all know how tasty birds find poop!

[kramer]

that's great i wish you could get avaries like that where i live

[judy]

look fantastic karen, Im shore the birds will love it.

[telmadee]

looks brilliant Scully, hope you enjoy it.

[Scully]

Good one Karen!! i was going to put something over the top for the winter..but i forgot about wild birds.
and im going to hang a net by the door, i thought not having a porch would be better, as more flying room, but its a bit dogey going in and out.

Thanks guys..

[judy]

oops sorry scully, and karen got use both mixed up. Looks good scully!!! (lol try again)..

It looks fantastic, how does Mr Scully Macaw like his new home?

Wow Donna, bet your birdies love that!! Poor Graham though.. bless his little four toed cotton socks! #heart#

[Scully]

Graham hurt his wings ages ago, and even though he can flap them like crazy, he cannot fly. Lennie is the one without the toes..but hes got a mean back kick with the budgie ball

Graham has a huge cage all to himself at the moment, sadly.
So has Lennie, but he needs it. I can give him some outdoor time as and when. The Budgies seem very chirpy in the avairy, and Sugar and Spice have a stratch box, and a hidey hole thing for sugar.
Im not going to rush filling the avairy, i actually though if i want a new bird, im going to get a rescue bird. I still have to put perches in the box yet. Spice leans against the side on the floor and falls asleep, while sugar is in her hidey thing.
I dont know what my girlie has been doing, but shes nearly lost all her tail!

Oh Bless little Graham , my canary Tilley also flies like a brick she escaped indoors the other day and flew(ish) about 2" from the ground for about 2' then landed so I let her flutter for a while she ended up looking very smug and pleases with herself under the dining room table.

Great aviary, I must post a picture of my old aviary that my Dad made me. Dad was great at woodwork and designed the whole thing made the frame then covered the lot in small mesh. We had a solid roof, I must admit to fitting perspex to the outside along the roof line to a depth of 6" as we had so many cats and our neighbors had lost birds when cats sat on their roof and pawed at the birds.

The other thing I would recommend is a security door, you can get half panels and extra doors at our local garden centre. Makes getting in and out a bit of a squeeze but better than watching you favorite budge fly over your shoulder and away.

i love it! do you just have budgies & kaks in there?
