This is a photo of the original building that is 24' by 8'. There are 6 flights 4' by 8'. 7' high in the front and 8' high in the back. Like I said this was originally the way it was. I wanted to remodel
my other bird room so I changed this building. I shortened the cages
to 2'. So now the same cages are 4' by 2'. This gave my a space along the back of 6' by 24'. That space I use for all my individuals. I
also added electricity and running water to make caring for these
birds a lot easier.
In this photo you can get an idea of what size the small flight are, Also you can see the overflow water system I installed on all the flights. This system has a constant drip that overflows into the center of the cup. This drains down into a central drain that goes outside and it leaches into the shrubs outside the cages.
Here you can see the front of the small flight cages. There are 4 cages. Each cage has a sevice door with a small shelf that I cage give them their greens, grit, and egg food. Also I made small hooper type feeders. I rarely have to enter the cages witch keeps them calm. Nest boxes are mounted on the outside.
Here you can see a picture of the boxes mounted on the outside. On each box I attached a nest card so I can track information. In each cage I have 8 to 10 pairs of varios colors. By mounting the nest box on the outside I can keep track of eggs being laid. In case of a pair that needs fostering from the individuals for some reason or another, I can switch out eggs very easy. If not they raise there own babies at their own rate.
Here you can see my sink I installed. Also I have a work table. Above is my shelf were I keep all my goodies for the bird.
