It is roughly 1,5m width x 2,5m length x 2m height. Located under a balcony so it does not get rain, and during certain months it receives morning sunlight...
Here's some pics
Planted with dracaenas, ferns, and other safe plants - which the birds love to shred. From my experience if there's more plants than animals the plants are less likely to die from repeated damage since the bird's gnawing are dispersed.
At the top / ceiling I installed some fluorescent lamp (6500K) for the plants to photosynthesize, I dunno if it worked though, they're shade tolerant... For renovating reasons they are currently removed...
Here's the inhabitants:
These pictures were taken a year or two years ago.
Right now I want to renovate the aviary:
- install lightbulb for warming the birds at cold windy night
- re-plant again with dracaenas, sansevierias, ferns, carex grass, creeping fig, raphis, and scindapsus...
- do something to make cleaning the floor easier...
- the bunny is gone now, so plants will survive better hehehe... but I'm thinking of getting java finch, and pin tailed parrot finch, to accompany the canaries.
what do you think people? lets discuss!
thank you!
