good job. I like inside aviary, because that way we can see the birds better and interact with their live more.

Cant see that much with that tiny picture (just picking on you!) :)

It looks great!! I'll bet your birds will be SO happy to have some more room!

Lovely. I'm sure once you have it up and running you are going to have many hours at that table!

mmm Wonder what is outside that room.... could you eventually do a indoor outdoor aviary combo.... [-X :lol: .

Yes, a place to read the morning paper and have my coffee while enjoying the birds. I have tried to conjure up every conceivable scenario for building this aviary. Outside that window is the street, so an indoor/outdoor there is not possible, but the sunlight that streams in is optimal here. Seems the birds love the sun as much as they do their bath. BUT ... I do have a huge back deck that would be ideal for an indoor/outdoor. Those plans are still in the making. One step at a time. :-)

Thanks, everyone, for such nice comments. I am thrilled with the new aviary.. like a kid on Christmas morning. :lol:

Here's 3 more pics with the stain applied. Today will be the inside painted white and the sealer, then hardware.

I'm still working on sizing the pics.. :oops: :)

LOL poor pooches have been ousted by little feathered friends.
The aviary looks wonderful. We all know that excitement of a new thing and an aviary is one of the best kinds.
