I am new to the forum and to keeping finches.
Almost done with the finishing touches of my aviary. I will be buying finches this weekend at a bird mart.
Instead of repeating what I posted in a different thread, I will past the link to that topic about my aviary.
Here is a picture when it was half way done.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, Sal! There's lots of good reading at the Finch Information Center, linked at left, and the members are always ready to answer questions. If you put your location in your profile, it makes it easier to answer locale-specific questions later on.
Your aviary looks like it is going to be great, can't wait for pictures of the finished product.

Finished project.
I still need to add my custom feeding station access doors and a stress perch but otherwise I am done.
