dreamronnie 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2012 My grand-daughter bought a ready made aviary which I had to dismantle to get it through her house, and then reassemble! Of course, after seeing the birds installed, I was hooked. I then made an outside aviary for myself, bought three pairs of Zebra Finches in August ( plus two Canaries) and now have TWENTY TWO birds. Worried about winter, and having a friend feed them when I am away later this month, I have built an inside aviary in my workshop, caught them all and moved them inside. I have no interest in show breeding and am a bit concerned at having to shut them away although I intend to add an outside flight area that they can access. I'm rambling a bit but am concerned at " where to go from here" and would welcome any comments or suggestions please. Ron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave huntington 94 Report post Posted October 12, 2012 as long as the workshop is damp proof, draught free and you can provide additional lighting throughout winter the birds should be fine Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssteves 51 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 hi ron my zebs and canaries are out in my aviary all year round though i do have a night shelter with nest boxes in side they prefer to be in the flight which has polythene all around,i have made frames so i can take them down in the morning and put them back at night which i do even in the summer because it helps to keep the cats off,the other night i forgot to put them back on and my outside light came on when i looked out of my bedroom window at 1o'clock in the morning there was a cat hanging on the wire trying to get to my birds,but getting back to the winter thing my birds love their daily bath outside even when i have had to break the ice,in the winter if there is a really bitter wind i leave the panels up and it can get nice and warm in there. steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
