Thank you, yeah I'll take some as soon as I can, but you know, taking a pic of a bird is difficult especially when all the pretty ones are camera shy haha

WOW! are you making some kind of biotope? separating the Africans and the Australians?
agreed, I would love to see the inside of the aviary along with the inhabitants :)

Great setup! I'd love to see more photos of the outdoor aviaries, including the inside. I think members really enjoy photos of aviaries, since so many of us have cages and can only dream of aviaries. I really like the idea of having separate Australian and African aviaries, since the species from these two continents usually have quite different dietary needs.

I agree that's what prompted me to build my own, I clean them on thw weekend so I'll be sure to post pics then. They're so easy to build too. I sprayed the birds for communal reasons, not so much for a bit operating sort of thing. Eventually I'll get to that point!

I've always liked the idea of bio-types. I do that with all my fish tanks (and my clients' too) and have always thought aviaries should be set up the same way: Asia, Africa, Australia, and South American.
