Introduction to aviary making

Now that you saw how you to occupy of birds of cage. In order to launch into the breeding you should at least have several cages where the couplings will taking place during the period of reproduction. However these cages are well at the time of the period of breeding, but an aviary is better at the time of the moult. And during the season of rest which goes from the end of the summer. Until the spring of the next year for the canaries. It is noted however that certain small exotics as diamonds of gould often breed in winter in the stockbreeders. Finally good, on this page, you will find small consultings to carry out yourself your aviariees and accessories. For the breeding, you will also have the possibility of downloading plans which will be able to also help you. Like various ideas to produce yourself your accessories.

Space flight necessary

First of all, it is necessary to know before carrying out your aviary how much birds and of which races, you envisage to put in the latter. Indeed, it is necessary for all to envisage at least 2 cubic meters of space of flight for 20 to 25 birds of the size of the canaries. The parakeets or small exotics (one can put some up to 40 even 50 in same space). On the other hand if you foresee to have parrots or large parakeets, such a space suffices only for one individual to see the couple if the birds are not too tall (for example aras). Do not forget either to envisage a sufficient height (at least 1 m 80). All this in order to facilitate the task at the time of interventions inside to you.

Site of aviary and cages

In the case of small exotics, of insectivorous, frugivorous or nectarivorous such as diamonds of gould, sparrows of Japan or mandarins. The ideal site of the cage is in a inoccupied room. Your birds will be well better with calms. On the other hand, a true bird of company will prefer a place more animated in a corner of your house. Avoid nevertheless the parts encumbered where the birds could be found wedged between two partitions. The kitchens are to be banish because of the vapor and the many risks in its centre (gas, pans…).

Ideal Site

Preferably choose a part where windows have curtains to prevent that your birds strike themselves against these last. A part where there are not large variations in temperature which could put out of order the moult. For a cage, the sitting room is a part adapted well better. If not if your garage is arranged, devote a part to the birdcage and with the batteries. For a cage, my advice is to place it at height of the face, in this way, the bird will see you directly and you will be able to give him to eat in your hand to put it in confidence. If you have cats, children, choose to put the cage on a stable place and with good height to avoid any risk of fall.

Cleanliness of the installation

It is also necessary to think that the birds make splash with many seeds around the cages and aviaries. At the time of their bath : the splashes are also frequent thus protect the your rooms walls and furniture by placing the cage on an impermeable support or put plastic all around the bottom of the cage. Certain birds such as the mainates are very players and of this fact very dirting. Inform near somebody experienced before buying a bird. On these last advices, I propose to you thereafter to see various plans of aviaries and cages. As well as small easy ways to make yourself your cage accessories.
