Nah just joshin ya ....oh how I wish this was mine . Its a public aviary in Cooks Park Orange NSW.
It has 2 hexagonal aviaries on either side , one with native doves the other with native finches and Scarlet Chesteds and the centre aviary is large parrots , corellas ,galahs and cockies.
Image
Unfortuneatly it was bloody hot and the smaller birds stayed to the back of the aviaries so no good pics of them ut there are a couple of the big fellas.

oops pics of the corella digging an escape tunnel didnt work out ....bugger.

Now that would be a nice Aviary in your back-yard :D

My friends lived in Orange for a number of years, very, very cold in Winter :shock: I wonder how the birds would go in such cold weather? I imagine that would just get used to it?

yeah Orange gets very cold in winter , snows there most years . The aviaries all had quite a large enclosed area at the rear , couldnt see what the set up was back there but it was certainly well protected and I wouldnt be surprised if some sort of heating was in place .

Do you know what sort of wire they used?

It was weldmesh in a single layer for the parrot cages and the finch cages were made of 2 layers together so that the wire met halfway into each square making the holes smaller.
