FINCH AVIARY BUILD (Part 2) 

Thanks very much!

Thank you Pete! I will make a video soon of cleaning up- not as bad as you might think (well, aviary clean up is always a bit of a chore but you know what I mean...)

Thank you and good lick with your build! Hope I can save you from making some mistakes in the process 😀

@@Echosaviary this was the first video I had seen on your channel and after having watched around ten other videos I am so impressed with your work and dedication to these little birds. I have a small group of common zebra finch I have begun to build an aviary like yours for them and perhaps others.

Thank you- I tried hard to do for my birds what the aquarium and vivarium builders are doing now. Functional and a little more aesthetically pleasing. Very fun to think about and try to put together

Thank you- I hope so!

Thank you! Will be interested to hear what you think of how it has evolved.

That one is easy. At the time of video, there may have been live moss and a few other live plants but 99% are recycled plastic or silk plants.

@@Echosaviary thanks echo! learning a lot from your vids. really appreciate all your sharing! :D

Merci- Mon francais es mal. J’avais une video sur les roches et ausisi de l’eau. la couleur d’epoxy n’est pas piente. de L’eu es frais 4 fois par jour.

@@Echosaviary avez vous fait les Rocher avec de la resine epoxy ou alors avec autre chose j aurais aimer faire pareille

toutes les roches sont du mastic epoxy “habitat black”. le fabricant fabrique une version blanche à laquelle le colorant peut être mélangé. je ne l'ai pas essayé

Avez vous un lien pour acheter?

Thanks! Oh my gosh, I think my time estimates will be way off but the basic structure was maybe 100 hours. I bet a two person crew of skilled builders could do it in a couple days though!

@@Echosaviary you did an amazing job. It looks unbelievably professional with some amazing touches. Did you need to treat the wood to offset the weather we face in Seattle?

Thanks- it is amazing what you can learn on youtube! Yes, the base is treated ground contact lumber (althoughnfor the most part it is wrapped in pond liner so not actually in contact with ground). The framing wood is untreated cedar. It won’t last forever but hopefully ling enough!

These are almost all artificial plants.

I am so sorry, but I did not make any formal drawings or plans. There are a couple of additional videos that explain more of the build details. The aviary build playlist will list them.

@@Echosaviary thank you

thank you!
