Young Gouldians in small aviary - enough room?

[finchandlovebird]

Yesterday I put 6 young ones (3 blue, 1 silver, 2 yellow) & from another clutch, 1 pastel in an aviary. Both sets of parents were laying eggs, so I thought it was high time to get the youngsters out.
The aviary (which I had for free) is 21 deep, 25 wide, 62 high. It seems like plenty of room for the 7 youngsters. They are having fun flying up & down. This is plenty big enough for them, right

It seems ok, but more width would be better for them to stretch their wings. May be a little tight, just my opinion .

I think it fine, Dolly. Your birds are so beautiful

Your juvies are lovely. I agree with Brian that more width would be better for them. My birds fly horizontally more than vertically, so the more width the better for them.

That's a great cage size, the distance corner to corner is plenty flight room.

Beautiful birdlings, beautiful flight.

If I remember right, Dolly, young Gouldians, need a lot of up and down flying to develope flight muscles. Your flight is perfect for just that. Perches should be at the top, food at the bottom, forcing them to do lots of up and down flights.

Lucky you, getting that lovely flight for free...

That is a great flight for youngsters and what a bargain that you got it for free!
