That looks great, good job!

Are you going to add any supplemental lighting?

WOW
You do great work. I wish I had the room to build and keep a cool breeding setup like that.
Wish you luck in the next breeding season.

The breeding cages look really good. Bet you can't wait to add the final touches add your selection of birds and let them get busy.
Really nice!! Btw. What are you going to put in there? You have a really nice variety of species.

I really like the dividers you put on them! I have tried this before but have never been able to come up with a proper solution that would fit within my space. Great work here!

As a new person I would love to have list of materials. Planning to start purchasing materials in next week or so and would like to start with around seven to ten breeding cages. Have been reading posts and confused about breeding cages--to build or purchase. Have room inside for fairly large number of breeding cages and could build outdoor flight cages. I live in middle Georgia where weather gets hot and humid in summer and down to freezing in winter. I would love to come up with plan so I don't to redo this. Thoughts
