sorry could you tell me the dimensions please? it looks as though it would be way to small for a collection that size... but then like you said I can't see very far 'cause of the light

hmm, I still think it's a bit too small for 9 pairs... I've been getting consistent results from asking questions saying my 3.5 x 2.3 x 2.4m aviary is good for 4 or 5 pairs...
then again if they are breeding sounds like you are doing good :D :D!!

Welcome from another of the W.A. members. With that number of birds in an avairy that size you are likely to have problems when your more aggressive type finches are ready to breed. Sounds like the perfect reason to build/buy your 2nd avairy, which if you are lucky will be even bigger than the first. :thumbup:

The best place for termites in W.A. is between Carnarvon and Exmouth, they are all over the place within easy walking distance of the road. Sounds like a good excuse for a holiday. :thumbup:
