finchmix22, Sally, delray & Teagarden
You requested to see photos of my aviaries.
This is only a couple of them - I can't seem to upload the others because of their size :/
Let me know what you think :)

Looking good. Is the metal at the bottom of the aviaries to keep out predators such as snakes? Do you have mixed species in each aviary, or is each aviary dedicated to one species?

I have my aviaries on bare ground, pegged down with tent pegs so they don't blow over in strong winds, no trouble with predators, mice etc,
6 of my aviaries house mixed species and the other 2 are dedicated zebra finch aviaries :)

The aviary in the 3rd picture I made all by my self :D
Definitely a DIY job but it works!

Looks like there is a lot of room for birds! I bet they enjoy it.
I would love to have an outdoor aviary someday.

Teagarden,
I have in excess of 150 birds!
The best thing about housing them in aviaries is they get to act more naturally, even more so if there is live plants growing in the aviary, but my aviaries are not big enough for that, I just add natural, non toxic branches such as gumtree and tea tree.
Plus the more room you can offer the better :)
