The Very Start Of My LoftI am in the very beginning process of putting together a new loft for my birds and thought I would post pictures of the progress as it goes for people to get some ideas.
I have 4 birds, and 2 do not fly well so this is not a "release to fly loft" It is going to be 6x10 with a outdoor flight pen attached. Any tips and ideas are greatly appreciated.  Sorry the picture is so dark, but it is just the floor frame. Perfectly leveled, squared and up on cinder blocks. And thats my best doggy Damien in the way

Haha!
No elephants here!  and yes they are all 2x4s. My plan is; is to build a storage area when you first walk in the door, along with a thin wood frame and hardware cloth door seperating the bird area from the storage area. Keeping them out of my stuff and making sure they do not get out of/ or hit with the door when I come in. So it needs to support me, cubards, and a door frame. =) this is also just my plan. I am just kinda making it up as I go. lol probably not the best thing to do, but its wokring out so far. Last edited by GimpieLover; 18th July 2008 at 07:41 PM.

Here's a VERY rough idea of my plan. Nothing is measured to size at all. Just an idea page.

Damien is a cutie. Your loft looks great; one thing I would suggest from personal experience is putting the food and water close to the door that you go through. It makes it SO much easier to change the water, especially. I just open my door, pull out the water and food, refill, and stick it back in. Then I only have to go into the aviary if I see someone laying on a new egg or to clean it.
Good luck!
