Looks good. Hope you'll share pics of the inside when you're done.

Love the RED with white trim. Your birds won't have any trouble finding home!

Maybe some of you can help me make some decisions on my interior layout.

I had originally thought that I would have one big open loft with nest boxes on one wall and perches on the other walls.

The more I think about things, I believe I want to divide the loft with a sliding door in the middle. I have some prisoner birds that I can't fly or at least can't fly until they have raised young in my loft. I also may want to seperate hens and cocks, or breeders and fliers, etc....

So my question is this....... Should I lay out each half the same? Where they would both have some nest boxes and perches? Or, should I have nest boxes on the one half and perches on the other?

Just wondered based on experience what works best when you can only have two sections.

Perches on one side and nest boxes on the other side of the divider. Before breeding time you can stick the hens where the perches are and the cocks where the nest boxes are so they can claim a box for breeding. Then stick the hens back in with the cocks and let them breed away. This will free up the perch side for your newly weened young birds.

I framed in most of the aviary last night. Getting closer. I might just put up the nest boxes and wait on finishing them. I want to build some nice fronts for them, and that could take a while. Going to build drop traps, one for each side. Then the perches. Hopefully I can move some birds in some time this weekend.

I'll try to get a new picture of the progress tonight.
