"This page will show a variety of outdoor cages and flights belonging to a good friend of mine."

In the picture above, the main structure is a row of flights with their right side closest to us, their backs to the right. Due to the angle of the yard, the longest flight is closest to us. A back, covered section runs the length of the flights. The feeding platforms are in the covered area. There are also various perches and nests located in the top of the covered area. On the far left is a long covered isle or Man-Trap running along the fronts of the flights. Between the Man-Trap and the Covered backs are open wire and planted flights. The longest flight is about 30' overall, the shortest about 12'.

Winterized Flights

These two views show the covered Man-Trap isle along the fronts of the flights. This wire is covered in heavy plastic to shield the birds from the winter winds, see a picture at the link above. The smaller cages at the left of the pictures are Quail cages. The open wire fronts are visible to the left. The Closed backs of the Quail cages back up against the Man-Trap and are accessed safely from there.

 

This outdoor breeding house is very well designed! It has 12 units within it for a breeding pair of Diamond Doves (or other small species) each. Facing the morning sun, each unit gets great sunlight to benefit the birds with the hot afternoon sun warming the top and back of the house. By closing the wire door behind you, you eliminate the possibility of birds getting loose. View A Close-up Detail showing the individual unit fronts of the breeding house. The single unit front is removable, smaller doors provide daily access to food and water containers and birds if needed. Ringnecks can be wintered in this setup quite well.

These two lower units were designed and built to hold younger Pheasant, Quail and Partridges after they were moved from the brooders. A plastic wire mesh is stretched tight about 6" down from the ceiling. This reduces scalping and loss of birds from the quick flights of being startled.
