Hello,

Here is a previous thread where I posted a picture of my reptile "Repi-Breeze" Terrarium type set up. I would stray away from glass, because its difficult to keep clean, and you'll be wiping it all the time, scaring the finches. Mine is entirely screened in, and allows for plenty of air flow.

Hope that helps!

Thanks...can they stay in all the time. I want the 65 size and would that be big enough for four finches 16 x 30 x 28 ...also did you use the liners and how often do you need to replace them

Yes, my birds stay in this aviary all the time. And I believe that size should be big enough for 4 finches, however if you are planning on breeding them, they will need more space. Mine is 4 feet long, 4 feet high, and 2 feet wide. I currently have 2 gouldians, 2 cordon blue's, 2 red eared waxbills, and 1 orange cheeked waxbill, and it provides them with plenty of space.
