Hi Ben, been watching your videos for a while now and like the aviary very much, with regards to the heating in very cold conditions my misses suggested using clear plastic roller blinds for overnight use 😉fitted on the outside of the aviary 👍

That’s actually a really good idea!.. I’ll look into that thank you.

Your welcome Ben, I made the roller for our rabbit hutch we had years ago and it worked a treat for them, it just had a wooden broom handle at the end of the plastic to act as the weight to keep it taught so it hung close to the front of the hutch 👍

I don't think the cold bothers the budgies they been bred for gens in the UK now and are pretty hardy things never heated my budgies never lost any, with my ringnecks and conures I add heat through December to end of Feb that's it , I'd say save ya money on the electric mate and spend it on some extra food and electrolytes vitamins etc

Bless lucky lol , I think you would be wasting electric on the tube heater as it’s a open aviary , I don’t use heating in mine but they go into a insulated shed at night , still get the odd bird that sleeps out in the flight . I had to use a 200w ceramic bulb in my shed to keep it above 5c but used to much electricity so I’ve brought my pair of heck’s finches in the house for the winter, my zebs are fine without heat but I have used clear corrugated plastic roof sheets round the outside.

That’s pretty much why I don’t use the tube heater… they are pretty fine tbh and don’t seem to care too much at all.

Can you let me know if you have an open front to the aviary? and can you also tell me how warm the heaters keep the aviary through the winter or what is the coldest it has been as I'm looking to get some zebra finch to add into my Japanese quail aviary thank you 😋

@bstrippy1664 Жыл бұрын

Yes the front is open all the time but faces away from the wind… in all honesty the aviary doesn’t get warm so I switched it off… the zebs and the quails manage very well… I have had temps down to -8 with no issues.

Hi Ben. I have the same heating tube in my aviary cage but it not giving much heat, what should I do is there any settings to bring out heat

@bstrippy1664 6 ай бұрын

Hi, thanks for the message to be honest mine is exactly the same it doesn’t really eat at all. It’s just a waste of mine isn’t even wired anymore The birds are quite hardy and I haven’t lost a bird for nearly 4 winters they just huddle up and deal with it.

Hi. Ive been watching some of ur video's. Planning on building shed for breeding but with access to outdoor aviary. Which birds can i mix with cockatiels

@bstrippy1664 7 ай бұрын

Hello mate… good luck with the build!.. I have had budgies and cockatiels together in the past and even canaries and finches too… mainly just budgies and tiels together tho… less fighting.
