FEATURE


From the site plan one can see that the aviary is a brick/concrete block building, clad in dry packed stone (from site). It has a timber roof which has been waterproofed with derbygum (bitumen on 21mm exterior ply on 38mm x 150mm rafters at 400cts). The projected flights are suspended out of the water proofed and wind- tight enclosure and rest on stone plinths. From the floor plan one can see that the entrance door (solid wood - standard off the shelf maranti door painted with dark green waterproof roof-paint - door and paint is available


at most hardware stores), opens into an access corridor (one metre wide - Just wide enough - don’t try anything smaller as it will become an issue once you need space to move around in). For even more protection a mesh hind door can be attached to the same frame and the wooden door placed on a spring door closer (in order to automatically close once one is in the access passage).


Each interior cage area is 1.5 metres square and is full height, from floor to ceiling. We chose full height to allow easy access for catching and inspecting the birds, it also makes life easier
