My NEW AVIARY, I am SSOOOO Excited!!!!

Post by tstcpc » Mon Mar 08, 2010 6:20 pm

My future son in law built this for me. Inside measurements are 5ftW x 2ftD x 7ftH. It has four glass doors on front and two acrylic doors on each side. He covered the back and bottom with textured white plastic plywood for ease of cleaning. I just got everyone moved in and they are already singing away!!! Our neighbor lost some branches off of there curly willow tree and so I took advantage and gathered as many as I could, trimmed them up and plastered them into tall vases. Decorated with silk greens, mounted the nesting boxes and hopefully they will start to use the boxes soon.
