Having (hopefully) conquered the brambles in the garden, my son's hoping to get an outside aviary for most of the budgies shortly.
We have one cage with an old (around 14yo) budgie and one who can't fly properly, who will stay inside, but the others, hopefully, will move outside.
Much as he'd like to build his own aviary I don't think he has the knowledge and I don't know anyone who could help him on this, so we're looking at getting a ready made one. Although his first idea was basically to turn the entire garden into one, so it may be a good idea I'm not letting him get on with that!
Does anyone have any recommended places that do aviaries near Surrey? I've found some places online but they're more up north. They'll deliver, but it would be nice to go and have a look too.
His ideal aviary has: Outside flight area which he can walk into (he loves to sit with his budgies round him), and an inside area for night/winter. Safety porch and an inside area he can keep things like seed in.
Is there anything else that people with experience would like to suggest that they have/wish they had known?
Also one of his worries is that it doesn't look like we'll get the aviary before end of September at least. Will that be too cold to put them out in it? We can wait until the following Spring without an issues.
He also wants to know if they need different food when outside, and how you know how much to feed them, because currently he checks their food every time he goes past.
He's also asked if anyone has ever tried having rabbits in the same place? I'm not convinced but I said I'd ask!
Thank you!
