What are some suggestions for catching moths for the birds.?
A light in the aviary or a trap made up outside the avairy.?
Can anyone suggest a easy to make trap or purchase one.?

Solar lights in the avairy can work if you position them right. But will they provide enough? Depends on the quantity of birds.

Moths are totally awesome; well worth the effort.
Especially valuable because they are mature insects, not larvae (like mealies and maggots).
Since I began catching them for chaffies and softbills I have found that the finches also love them, especially the maskeds, bloods and painteds.
Bunnings sell a prefab trap for not too much that works pretty well, if you're not the DIY type...

Avid amateur aviculturalist; I keep mostly australian and foreign finches.
