Construction of an outdoor aviary

It is important to prepare the ground and the foundations of the aviary, both to stabilize and to protect it from rodents. You may be required to use a casing to hold the soil when you dig the base. Keep the lawn you have for later use in the outer parts.

Below the ground, you can use cinder blocks, but on the surface, the bricks are more aesthetic. Think of climbing walls, overlapping the bricks for the structure is solid. Maybe you'll need the services of a professional mason.

There are models of aviaries very different from each other. In the case below, the bottom panel is open to provide additional protection for non-destructive birds, finches and small type exotic birds. A space was also provided for the security gates.

Bolt the different panels, but do not place the doors until the entire structure is in place at the base. Due to the size of the structure, it takes two to get the aviary.

Arrange for the lock fits the best overall. If the plates of translucent plastic used to cover the aviary are connected to a gutter system, you can collect rainwater in a cistern.

Do not neglect security. By equipping the outer door of a combination lock, you will not need to key each time you visit your birds. Have a lock inside the two doors so you can close them well after entering the aviary.
