Outdoor Aviary ?

Hi, 'im researching outdoor aviaries. Does anyone have any experience with built/purchased outdoor cages? I see that I can either assemble my own, made of redwood and safe wire, or buy a pre-assembled wire cage. I have a concrete floor to set this on. Any comments? Thanks!

I need one too. I am trying to sweet talk my hubby into it. LOL
He says as soon as it cools down he will pour the slab.

I have four outdoor aviarys. By the time I got to the fourth I had figured out what I wanted and custom made it. Still a simple design though. They need a sheltered section from wind. I like having part of the roof meshed so they get sun all year round and can hang upside down from it (lorikeets). Concrete floor to help keep mice away. A bird bath, and i regulary provide them with branch/tree cuttings which amuses them for hours. makes a mess though but they like it.
