The best thing I found was that if you did get mice in the aviary if mounted clear of perches or wire the mice cant get to them

Finished fitting out my Precision Aviary today. Liitle Button Quail are in with the Red Strawbs to join them in the morning.
I recall someone on AFF advising to keep boxes away from the metal sides if possible due to cold. To try reduce the impact (since I have attached to the walls, I have glue sections of a compressed cell sleeping mat normally used for camping. Did the same to the ‘Hotel’ I built.
Other benefits are that it stops the box/hotel damaging the colorbond and keeps the box upright.
BTW: LBQ are gorgeous little birds.
