Newest Aviary

Reeves:


First pictures are of how I built the sand/grit boxes.
I build a frame (treated wood, as it sits on ground). Then fill with drain rock.


Cover that with a felt like filter cloth.


Then build another frame on top. Sand will go in the center one.


















When including the L shape of the runs, it is 122 feet long.
Each run section has been built independently, as a 12'x12' section, yet all connected, for strength.
The building, divided in the center so it will hold two species.
Each species will have a total of 56 sq. ft. inside their house.
Thet will have 48 sq. ft. under the porch, sand bath area.
They'll have a run of 576 sq. ft. on open grass, for a grand total of 680 sq. ft. per species.
This aviary covers 1360 sq. ft. of ground.
Each side was planted (so far) with Brandon Cedars, Emerald Cedars and a Juniper.

Wire that will go on it will be the green PVC coated wire.

Reeves:
When finished, the Reeves will go in the north end, and Golden in the south end.

Then I'm going to completely re-build their present pen, including a new house.
