How To Build Everything You Need For Your Birds: Aviaries To Nestboxes
by: Larosa, Don
This is a construction manual intended for both budding novices and experienced
bird breeders alike. Comprehensively written and professionally illustrated,
the book is loaded with construction details, diagrams and pictures, material
lists, insulating and finishing techniques and tips, environmental concerns,
simple step by step instructions and, essentially, everything you need
to know about building everything you need for your birds. Every plan
and construction detail is compiled from years of hands on experience
by the author in the raising and breeding of birds ranging from finches,
canaries and larger softbills to most of the hardbills including (but
not limited to) parakeets, budgies, and cockatiels, on up to amazons,
cockatoos, macaws, and so on. There are projects ranging from simple houses,
cages, breeding and nesting quarters to small, medium, large and grand
scale aviaries, all designed and detailed with both the beginning hobbyist
and serious fancier, alike, in mind. Because many of the aviary designs
are based on modular construction, they contain the flexibility to start
small and expand or start big and go even bigger. he designs require inexpensive,
non-specialized, easy to obtain materials assembled in a straight-forward
manner with the minimum tools, and give you strong, durable housing that
you can be tailor-made for a specific breed of bird or modified as needed.
Included also are construction plans for feeders, waterers, nesting humidifiers,
hospital quarters, shipping and carrying cages, electrical wiring, plumbing
and ventilation plans for the aviary, plus a host of other ideas, construction
tips and general information seldom found in other bird publications.
