Wow, beautiful aviary!!!!! I was considering an outdoor aviary, attattched to my garage, and the bird could enter a small portion of the garage through a window to stay warm in the winter... We have similiar weather so it may be possible!
It would be very similar

Looks great I know guy who has 8 very large out door avairys with an enclosed section at one end that is fully enclosed with a smaller window for the birds to fly in and out of its great in winter.I run solar garden lights and small LED powered lights inside my aviaries .If the birds get a fright at night they can see where they are flying and won't fly into the wire and break their necks.

Haven't had to add lights, they use the moonlight.

Thanks for posting these photos, Debbie. It shows members that they can have outdoor aviaries, even in northern climates. I know of a guy who built outdoor aviaries for summer use only. His birds vacation outside during the summer, then come back inside his basement for the winter. But with a few alterations, we can usually make outside aviaries work even in the winter.
