It looks great James!

All those plants make for a lot of cleaning though. Are they plastic? Sounds like you thought of that though, making it with a divider.

Are the doors plexiglass? Wish I'd done that. I plan to cut out the wire in the doors and replace with plexiglass (some day when I have time). That way I can get some pics without wires in the way.

Smart of you to think of that!

We painted thye wood with tons of water sealer fisrt and then painted like 3 layers of the forest green paint so when its outside the wood wont get messed up. We also have plexi glass to put on the front of the cage to keep the rain out when i move the cage outside in the summer. it will be in the shade all summer underneath the oak tree so it wont get to hot plus on the warmer days the wood on the top is hinged so it flips open to ventilate and the roof is also wired so they cant fly out. I used plexiglass for the doors as well saw i can still see everything. I wish it was big enough to walk in though.

Great pics. Hmmm. all this time I thought you were "Jamie" as in a girl!
I quickly realized differently when I saw your hands.

Great setup! I think you will find you will have more breeding success now that you have given the birds more room. The one change I would make in the flight is to use natural branches instead of dowels for perches. Branches give them the change in diameter that is good for them.

I have both but in the pictures you cant really see them. I have like 4 that are branches and 3 that are the dowels and then there are vines and other things they can use to stand on. I was thinking of buying those branches they sell at the petstores to use instead of the dowels.

Do you have bottle brush tree where you live they make good perchs,I think branches cost to much at the pet stores, citrus tree are good to
