I have 2 spare aviaries .
Other half has been given 2 sheds ( 3 mtr x 3mtr and a 3 mtr x 1 mtr ) , flat packed ready for assembly which he will easily turn into aviaries , making it 2 more 2 bays = 4 + my 2 = 6 :wtf:

I think Ive out birded myself folks , if there is such a thing .

When is enough too much ? I fear it going to become a chore and the sheer effort to keep these birds happy is going to be a burden.

I have 11 aviaries as is ...yes dilemna .

I think you have just answered your own question.

Deb you could always build them and think about what you want to put in them or have them as holding aviery for young. You could put more easy to manage birds such as budgies.

My only concern is that it becomes a chore rather than a hobby ... other half said he would put auto waterers and more seed hoppers in to make life easier for me .
I would like to go full steam with the Purples and Littles ..... geez if this is the worst problem I have then life must be pretty darn good hey .

The two new ones would give you the opportunity to do that, and if you are getting auto waterers and feeders installed that should cut down on the workload. Its certainly worth a try. If you dont try you will always wonder if you could have managed it and probably kick yourself for letting 2 freebies go.
If it does become too much there is always the option of selling them as aviaries...cant believe I said that :silent:

I noticed the numbers on the new pics you posted. :D
As Bensonsan suggested you could have one as a holding aviary or a quarantine aviary, that way it wouldn't be holding birds all the time.
