Tips For A Spacious And Attractive Aviary In Your Yard

Space and Sunlight For Your Tuneful Birds

Birds- your colorful tuneful and gentle pets. If you want to keep them in your yard, give them more space to move around and exercise. Then can they sing even more sweetly and give you more pleasure. Other than a traditional cage, place your birds in an aviary. Birds need to be healthy, and an aviary offers an environment wherein your pets get exposed to sunlight and fresh air. Unfiltered sunlight breaking through the aviary provides birds with Vitamin D3, an important nutrient for vitality.

What kind of aviary do your birds need? Depending on the specie, you can build an aviary to protect your birds from weather and climate, or simply as an outdoor play habitat. You can connect the structure to your house, either a patio or solarium- type aviary. Your pet's living area can also be a free- standing facility in your yard, resembling a greenhouse or a chicken coop or barn.

The Right Width, Height and Length

What is the right size for your aviary? The correct measures of an aviary according to veteran aviculturist Jerry McCawly, are that the width of the aviary should be 2- 3 times the wing span of your pets, and the length 6 times the size of the birds' body and the height at least 4 times of the birds' body length. So, for example, a flight with an area of 8ft x 4ft x 8ft is sufficient to house 20 budgies, parakeets or cockatiels and a pair of Amazon parrots or African grays.

Along with your plans to build an aviary, ask about noise ordinances or zoning regulations in your area. These regulations might prohibit your project in the first place. Planned housing developments, town homes communities and subdivisions usually have restrictions about outdoor structures residents can build in the premises.

Decore Chore For The Interior

Once you have your aviary put in place, do a bit of decor chore. Decorate the interior of your birds' house with bird- safe plants- palms, ferns, evergreens, bamboo and ficus. Give a lush look to your pets' habitat, mix in some non- fraying artificial plants, too. But keep the artificial plants out of reach from your birds. These attractive synthetic foliage are for them to enjoy, not eat. Hang untreated grapevines for your avises to perch on, cascading from the roof. Functional and quite an arty visual effect that your birds can frolic on as well, to the glee of you as the easygoing pet owner.
