If you want to keep several budgies, or a mixed flock of birds, an outdoor aviary is ideal. You will be able to give the birds lots of space, and they will enjoy the benefits of fresh air and sunlight. An aviary can be a custom-made structure, free-standing or lean-to, or a converted outbuilding such as a shed.
An aviary for budgies, cockatiels and finches
Most aviaries are permanent homes for their owner’s birds, but some function as outdoor exercise areas or summerhouses only, with birds confined indoors in the colder months. If this is the arrangement you have in mind, you will need to get the birds in and out of their temporary lodgings, and will probably have to use a net to catch and transfer them back indoors.

My parakeet keeps banging her beak on her cage. She keeps it up constantly. Why? She has another parakeet in the cage with her. But she did this before we got the other bird. We though she was lonely. It drives us mad for her to keep banging the cage.

This comment is addressing the comment made by David, Oct. 2018. Whenever I see someone wishing to breed more birds I cannot help but become saddened by this. Please try to understand that I truly mean no disrespect to you. The breeding of pets for whatever reason, spins off into so many misguided directions that all too often will lead to places like shelters, rescues or worse, euthanasia. If practical legislation that served the rights of animals, were enacted, maybe I wouldn't be sending this commentary, but none exists that I'm aware of. Responsible shelters & rescues are at least trying to take the surplus millions of animals & birds in their care be adopted to responsible people to give them a "forever" home. They do reasonable background work all in the interest of that animal to make sure it will not be dumped again. The sad reality David, is that many bred & pet shop animals will find themselves dumped at a shelter, which is why I'm urging you to separate your bird community (females in one cage, males the other). If you were doing this for income then I say please stop putting these birds to work for you. Ask yourself, can you honestly put time in to do background checks on the people you intend on selling these birds to? Can't you just love your birds for their own sake without breeding them?

I have seven budgies in an outside aviary in Sydney. It’s winter time now but the aviary is insulated so it’s warm. There are Budgie boxes for them if they want to use them and perches up high for them to keep out of the cold. I’m wondering why they choose to sleep on the aviary mesh where it’s cold. I’ve just checked on them it’s 6am and the first time I’ve seen them do this. Is this a sign of any problem?
