Beautiful pics, guys! Thank you both for sharing! And Kaya, I'm a little jealous of that aviary setup. Lol! Any pics of the rest of it?

Heres some more photos of the aviary :) I'm pretty proud of it, built the whole thing myself and it was a lot of work.

Thank you for sharing these shots of your aviary. You should be quite proud of what you managed to build all by yourself. Your birds must love it!
What material did you use for the netting? And what is the hole spacing, measurement wise?

I used the "Stainless Steel Reinforcement 19mm Netting" from this website: Bird Aviary Netting and Possum Control nets

I'm pretty happy with it. The birds sometimes try to chew through it and it holds very well. I haven't had any problems with it at all. The price is really good too. When I first wanted an aviary I asked around for quotes and they told me it would cost at least $2500 to build. I ended up spending less than $700 to make the whole thing.

Most impressive, Kaya, and economical as well! If I lived in a warmer climate I would probably be following your blueprint right now.
