There lies the warning to others....Keeping birds is a commitment.
A lot of the flights and cages I see on here look great when new...but it doesn't last.
A natural aviary is fine ...but in a small space the birds droppings and destructiveness will soon wreck it.
Cage and flight design must take into account that ease of maintenance and cleaning is the number one priority.

I agree. Most peopel think "how pretty" until they see how much work it is. I have to come home from school EVERYDAY and spend about an hour in mine and then lots more time on the weekend.

It is very important to know what you are getting into. There is always something that needs to be done weather it is in an open aviary or cages.

The birds must be taken care of and their enviroment kept clean.

I've spent hours searching online for an animal or insect that will not harm my birds but at the same time clean up all the droppings for me.
only answer I ever get is to use a politician. something to do with politicans constantly dribbling crap and needing to be refilled :roll:
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.
