Aviary?

Hey guys, ever since I got my quail fluffy, dad has been keen on the idea of getting an aviary :D were going to two places tomorrow to see what they've got :)

outdoor, although I might ask Mum and Dad if I could get a "room extension" and have a door leading from my room to another room that contains a bit of an indoor aviary leading to an outdoor aviary? probably not though :lol:

Congrats!! My parents would never offer me an aviary, I would have to beg. I was going to do an indoor one at my dad's house this summer but it is held off for a while

No aviary this year, just a quail pen, and possibly a breeding cage complex for finches and lovebirds :)

Mind you, Fluffy will be living a luxurious life :D

Well, on Sunday, I dug heaps of dirt out from the area I'm putting it, and on Monday, I put concrete in... Today I'm doing the framework, and tomorrow I'm doing the gardening, after the garden part is finished, I'll put the chicken wire on :)

ok, even though Dad doesn't want me to do the screwing wood to bricks while he's at work, I'm gonna google it and do it anyway :lol: I really need this done by thursday, I need to put Fluffy in it before Friday :/ So I want the framework done today, tonight we'll go get the stuff for the garden, and then I should be good :)

And thanks guys :)
