Guest Navek Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 One for the Canary lads........I'm planning on nocking up a light weight roosting box to go in side my avairy not on the out side but I'm not sure on the measurements and design to use as the only oictures I can find is a square box with a tiny hole cut out but no pictures of how the roost/perches are set up in side ....my plan was to make rectangle box which was 2ft long 1ft high and 1 foot deep.....simpler shape to the one in the picture but with most of the front coverd up with a 4 inch gap at the end and 1 or two Perchs running the length of it .... This if for 6 birds .....will this do or ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks good to me. make sure you can remove it to clean and it may be worth using a thick stain to tighten up any cracks that might harbour mites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Navek Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Will do jd..do you think the size is adequate for 6 canarys.. All the edges will be corked/filled and painted I will mount it on brass catches the type used to hang large pictures mirrors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Looks good enough to me.....if they squabble you could always retro-fit a partition... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 11,473 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Does look good for sure,i have seen some done very simular but they were hung upside down as it were and the birds flew up into them and were very draught free and something i will be doing to mine on my next aviary rebuild..

francolin 449 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 navek,this is how I have made my small outdoor flights,roof and half the sides are plastic sheeted,also theres a small roosting area behind Perspex that the birds fligh around or under to get to out of drafts/wind,they seem ok for wintering the birds,i tried it last winter,or for a breeding pair, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
