It's about time! I think the little guys are gonna like it. Of course it isn't done, but it's getting there. We're working on the perches now, and then all we'll need is a door, and pigeons can be put in. It still won't be COMPLETELY done then though. The vent looking things at the floor will actually have doors (right now it's got some temp. wire covering them), so that I can flip them down when I'm cleaning and sweep all the droppings out. I've also got another idea, which will be added to the loft soon after the birds are in. But it's a surprise cause I don't think I can explain without pictures, LOL.
The loft is 8x10 and the back, sides, floor, and roof are all insulated. My dad managed to get a hold of some refridgerator pannels a while back, and the size of them made them perfect easy-to-put-together walls. So keeping the temperature under control should be a little easier BUT the floor is slick, so we'll have to keep bedding in there to help absorb the moisture from the droppings.
The only downfall to this is that it IS on a little hill. So although the spot it sits is level, when I go up to the aviary from outside, I can only reach the release doors
Which hey, it's the same story for my current loft too, so no big deal.
