]]> Comment on I need suggestions on how to feed my birds while I am on a vacation for two weeks, they are in an aviary? by moggie http://www.birdsaspets.org/birds-aviary/i-need-suggestions-on-how-to-feed-my-birds-while-i-am-on-a-vacation-for-two-weeks-they-are-in-an-aviary/comment-page-1#comment-6825 moggie Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:54:45 +0000 #comment-6825 Because you have babies in a nesting box its essential you have someone to look after your birds who knows about birds. As you must know nests need to be check daily or twice daily when there are babies. Water drinkers in an aviary can get fouled really quickly and cause all birds to die from ecoli bacteria or salmonella, and food needs replenishing often. Try a friend relative or neighbour and make sure you write everything down so they can refer back to notes if in doubt over any of the care needed. Its amazing how many peole see seed husks and think birds have seed when they dont and birds die from starvation while owners are on holidays, so stress that fact with a carer for your birds.

If you want finches and cutthroats, then keep those in separate aviary with the quail. keep the chickens separate(guinea fowl are ok with them) and the rabbits completely separate.

It would contain potted fruit trees and other vegetation for the birds to eat and live. Also, it would contain a couple of ponds and maybe a little creek and water fall. Maybe I would even have a Japanese style garden. I would make all surfaces water-proof and have a few drains in the floor so I can hose everything down to clean. For myself, I would have an office in a corner, so I can work in the peaceful environment. Of course I would have doors to close so my little friends will not try to re-organize my work area. I would also have a couple benches and patio tables with umbrellas (to avoid unwanted presents on the food) and have small parties for my closest friends and family.

I built a big aviary because they bred well, I have a shed for them to sleep in at night with perches up in roof and a big flight path attached for day use. I can try with pics but don't hold your breath! good luck!
