Inside or outside avairy?

[serz]

I currently have an avairy with an outside flight and an indoor nesting area. I am thinking of getting a new avairy next year with all the flights indoors.

this is my aviary now




Would you stick to an outside flight so they get the natural vitamins of the sun ect or just go all inside?

I think the budgies should have an option to be inside or outside during the day

By the way, I like your cute little aviary

I have used a5ft by6ft shed with a safe area of 2.5 by3ft the rest will be set up as indoor flight. There is then a5ft by 9ft outside flight area attached with an access hatch so i am able to restrict them if needbe hope this might help you decide

If I were a bird I would want to be able to go outside and look further than four walls.

This is the better idea, i would add a safety door to the flight and shed, the roof would be covered with perspex sheets and the north facing outside wall would be plywood.

Well done on all counts

what do you think of my aviary barrie do you think the design is ok. If so im thinking of building it more out to the back so that it gives them more inside flying space and also the option of outdoors also?
