Custom flight for my b-day!

Post by buteo4 » Sat Mar 19, 2011 9:17 am

I came home from work on my birthday last Friday to find this flight that my brother and friend made for me! I was completely surprised and had no idea they had been working on it. It is made from an entertainment center which they acquired for free. They put glass in the front, added the back with access doors. Vents made into the sides and top, and a full spectrum light. Of course it still needs to be furnished and occupied! It measures 38 wide, 30 tall and 21 deep. I am thinking about finally getting Gouldians! (Though the nearest breeder I can find is 4-5 hours away!).
I am open to suggestions for how to finish it up and populate it!

What a special brother! That is going to make such a nice aviary and will look lovely with some fake greenery and then some beautiful finches.
