Outdoor Aviaries, Buildings and Cages

My first outdoor aviary at our present home. Built under the large Oriental Maple in our back yard. The namesake for "Maple Tree Aviaries".

Our Gazebo-style aviary, further down the yard. This shot shows the small security door to the left unfinished. This form of secondary door is very important to eliminate birds getting loose.

The Design and Building of My 10' x 12', Heated Bird House

This outdoor breeding house is very well designed! It belongs to a friend of mine. It has 12 units within it for a breeding pair of Diamond Doves each. 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 removeable, smaller doors provide daily access to food and water containers and birds if needed.

This is a four unit cage suitable for the outdoors. Each unit measures about 2'wide x 18"deep x 18-24"tall and is suitible for a single breeding pair of Diamond doves or Ringnecks.

This basic flight design is the foundation of many of the flights I use and have seen. The above drawing is based on a 4'x8'x6' flight, half covered and half open. The dimensions can be adapted to fit your situations.

The Design and Instructions on a Row of Four Flights

Based on the previous drawing, this four flight unit fit a very specific need and space for me. See the planning process at the link above.
