Hi,
I am looking for ideas to build an outdoor/indoor aviary. I live in PA and it gets really cold in the winter. I am thinking of using a shed for winter housing and build an attached outdoor aviary to the shed. Has anyone tried to build a similar aviary?
Suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris

Hi Chris, I did just that here in NJ. Here's a link to my web page I did when we were building it:

Hi Debbie,
Thanks! Do you have to heat the shed in the winter?

I heat it between 55 and 60 degrees F with an oil filled radiator.

Guess I should add I have diamond doves, gouldians, owls and forbes in there right now.
