OK, ladies. I just took this today. Next week it will look so pretty with the wisteria abloom, but this is what it looked like at 1:00 today here in Maryland. My birds are in the aviary from April through October here in Mayland. When the weather is above 65 and under 90, they are out there, rain or shine. Its healthy and keeps them in great shape.
Don't know if you can really see inside, but I have a 12 foot rope that swags the entire length of the aviary with 3 large boings, a couple of plastic rings and I'm about to go replace 3 large wicker wreaths that serve as swings until they are chewed apart. I replace them every 3 days. I also have a 6 ft. PVC gym out there with other toys and feeding stations. I keep 2 PVC umbrella stands and pipes out there and as soon as the apple tree gets some leaves, I'll create some "trees" for their chewing pleasure. I inspect all toys daily before taking them out to the aviary. I hose the cement floor down with the power washer every few days and bring in the feeding dishes daily and run them through the dishwasher.
My aviary is constructed with conduit (vinegar washed) and 1 x 3 inch GAV (also vinegar washed) and measures 10 feet x 8 feet x 8 1/2 feet high. The roof is constructed of corrugated plastic panels that can be removed as needed for more or less sun exposure throughout the day.
