Hello my name is Martin and I am from Auckland, New Zealand.
Auckland is a relatively good place in which to breed
parrots and parakeets as we don't have extreme weather conditions here.
Electric
fencing
Automatic waterers
External feeder doors
Nest boxes & logs
Quarantine Cage
The main aviary or breeding flights
Gouldian finch aviary
Holding flights for young
The first photos show a bank of twelve flights
each housing one pair of birds. There is another separate aviary used to
house Gouldian finches. The aviaries face north, which I personally consider
quite essential if you wish to have anything more than mediocre results
during the breeding season. Having said that so boldly, I’ve seen people do
very well without their aviaries facing north in the past. There is a
walkway down the back, which allows access into any particular flight without the necessity
of going through all the other flights and disturbing the other birds just
to get there.
The next two photos show the Gouldian aviary. Two thirds of the front and
part of the roof are covered with Perspex. This provides excellent
protection from the wind and rain, while still allowing light to enter.
The last photo shows what will be a bank of holding aviaries.
Unfortunately, there isn’t enough room to add a walkway to this set of
aviaries, however, as there won’t be any breeding going on in there,
hopefully I won’t need to get in and out all that often.
