The trees, floor, and birds look magnificent. I don't know how I'd keep that floor clean. In 50 years we have found the best floor covering to clean is childs play pit sand. We run it through a wire food seive, (dry) the wire size you'd use for tea, the sand runs through and gos back in the aviary and cages clean. It's very easy little and quick work. Low cost and lasts a couple of years before we buy more. We stand food and water bowls on bricks or tables off the sand.
Thank you for the timely tip! I haven’t quite worked out how to keep sand from clogging my drain but I believe I will try that in a section and see how I can make it work as I have some new additions coming who will find a substrate like that very important.
@@Echosaviary it's quick easy work, if you ever wanted to change the drain system for a sand floor. While you like it keep it. My Canary cage trays are 26inch by 17inch, I clean cages twice a week, 30 seconds per cage. A storage box on the floor, pull tray out, tip sand in storage box, poor through wire siv back into tray 30 seconds per cage. I used to do a lot more work, but over the years have designed things to save time. Less cleaning, more time to watch birds 😃👍
Aloha from Hawaii! It’s a busy time for us aviary people. I also have to reconfigure my aviary to accommodate new species. I’m finally getting Strawberry finches this year!
A lot of vegetation I collected second-hand. You could check wedding suppliers, people who stage homes, second hand stores etc.. Can also check Amazon, hobby stores online. Best to see in person if you can before you buy. Silk looks better visually. plastic easier to clean and lasts longer (silk leaves do come off over time). Finches futz/build nests in/perch on both readily.

you will love them. charming song and stunning when in breeding condition. Chicks take a long time to color up enough to tell sex.
I'm moving in @Echosaviary

Hello hope your well
Hello! I would say doing pretty darn good. Hope you are too.
Aviary looks very clean, how many time you clean ?
Hard to answer, you could say I am cleaning all the time but generally I really dig in 3 times a year outside of breeding season.
Where did you get the grass/bush that on the rock? I wanted to get that too.

Hi im new to your channel. Which bird species makes that loud tititi sound?
Welcome- that is the pintailed parrotfinch male. It is loud and pretty incessant. Can you imagine a large flock?!?
