skycat 6,174 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) Some pics of the nest sites: sorry the one of the fledglings is really blurry: had the wrong lens on! I always put a lot of conifer branches in the aviary, and the last pic is a hen who has made a net just 2 feet off the ground in some branches that are stood in a big milk carton of water to keepm them fresh! I had to put a little nest of wire netting into the branches as she'd started nesting on the branches themselves and the grass kept falling out: I don't like nest pans in aviaries as a rule as they are so exposed and shallow, that's why I like the roof hung ones as the young can walk about in them without falling out while they practice flapping their wings.

skycat 6,174 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Roofed above the aviary panel with onduline (painted white on top to reflect summer sun), wall at back and one side. Polythene stapled to windy side in winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
