I wrote about this over at the bird tricks parrot training blog but wanted to say a little something here, too. I try not to duplicate topics but I really wanted a reason to show off some of the daylight photos of this set up, haha. 

The breakdown of this set up:

• It's SUPER cheap
• Sets up in 15 minutes or less
• Stores small
• Travels easy

The purpose of this outdoor (traveling) aviary:

• To give our birds some outside time in real sunlight in the safety of an enclosure
• Is meant to NEVER be left unattended with birds inside

We really needed something cheap that we could travel around with realistically. We wanted something we wouldn't mind setting up for the birds so that they can get as much outside time as possible, as they would if we were back in Orlando in our house with our 3 large aviaries. That's its primary purpose. The enclosure is 10 feet by 10 feet and perfect for putting foraging trees into. We love it a ton because it doesn't have a floor, this way our birds can forage and eat the seeds of the grass and walk in the soil which is great for them (as long as the grass you're using isn't sprayed with any harmful chemicals).
