[@kayeweller8854]

Unless they are eating each other.

[@stephanieb7311]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@CassandraMooree]

Your personality makes it fun to watch and i learned so much as well!

[@theEagleBeagle]

i'm so happy to see how great this turned out! I will book a stay down there one of these days!

[@GoatDaddys]

Thank you SO much for the support!! Can’t wait to have you visit one day and meet the birds irl!

[@englishrose4388]

Love the Macaw aviary.

[@Brother_Nature.]

you're living the dream bro...thanks for the video

[@GoatDaddys]

It’s a lot of work- but I wouldn’t trade it for the world! Thanks for watching!

[@millieboon]

That Aviary is soooo cool

[@viccimauldin9786]

Love it. I am new here. I love birds. Especially macaws. ♥

[@Sarah-cq1vb]

You should put in a sky light above the tree so it can get some direct sun. That may help keep it alive. Also the misters shouldn’t be an issue if you make sure there is good drainage so there isn’t standing water near the tree. You also don’t want to add dirt around the base of the tree because that can smother the tree.

[@michaelcoffey4961]

I’m a first time viewer to your channel and just had to complement you on the excellent job you’ve done on your aviary! What a wonderfully thought out home you have given those beautiful birds. Have you given any thought to building a fully enclosed entry cage over the door to the aviary so you would have an “airlock” of sorts to help insure no one “flies the coop” when you enter or leave the aviary?

[@GoatDaddys]

Yes! As of right now, none of the birds are fully flighted from years of being kept in small cages and having their wings clipped at previous homes- so flying escape artists isn’t a concern. Once they become a bit more skilled in their avian ventures we’ll add on a catch door for maximum safety. Thanks for the suggestion 😁

[@VeracityMedia]

Oh man the drama of those human break ups and failing relationships is insufferable, especially when these special animals are involved and arguably hurt the worst from it. Being a goat daddy sounds much more appealing! Your care for them is first class! ~Cheers ♥

[@GoatDaddys]

So true!

[@dic2504]

Love the aviary! You need a double door system.

[@nscan2]

I just watched your video about collecting the birds you rescued from someone who could no longer look after them. I would like to correct what you said about the cockatoos. Cockatoos are very smart. You can teach them to do things like dance ( my Grandpa’s would do this if you said “dance cockie’, it would bob up and down). He also knew some words like “love you” and “hi”. Cockatoos can be sweet and loving, firming strong bonds with their owners. If your cage does not have a strong lock they will learn how to open it, they can also be noisy, calling for attention as said before this is because they bond closely to their humans. They like to interact with humans and can keep eye contact. Some cockatoos become aggressive and will begin to bite when they begin to reach maturity but saying they are “the most dangerous bird” is not true. Many are loveable and will happily be cuddled and show affection to their owners, not all but many are like this especially if you get them before maturity and interact with them frequently. They are smart and need stimulus whether this is human contact, they love shiny toys that make sounds like ringing or clanking. Their toys need to be made of safe acrylic or safe wood because, yes, they will chew on them and sometimes destroy them. You can also make a toy using strips of old denim, braided, then hung off something like a ring. Because they are clever they need stimulation with things like stuff they can shred, things they can forage for such as hiding treats in toilet rolls, paper bags, etc., simple puzzle toys where they have to figure out something to get a treat, and hanging toys like those mentioned above (if they also have a puzzle element all the better). When including natural perches if you can get something with a hollow to hide in that you can attach to the side of the cage, they would love this. With the natural perches, having wood they can strip with their beaks would be advantageous. They also like to bathe. Please remember cockatoos are not happy being totally independent beings, they absolutely love human attention, lots and lots of it. Cockatoos that are used to handling love to snuggle and they won’t be the first to get sick of the interaction, it will be you 😊. When they put their crest up and move around a lot this is usually attention seeking behaviour, they crave human attention. The biting you describe is not usually from aggression but stress and fear, often because they are lonely or craving your 1-1 attention. If you give the cockatoos enough attention, time, and patience, they can become the sweetest most companionable birds ever. Saying they are the most violent birds ever comes from your misunderstanding of this species. Whilst not kept captive (except for zoos etc.) Cassowaries, Emus, and Ostriches are amongst the world’s most dangerous birds. Looking into the eyes of a pet cockatoo is not dangerous, especially if you compare it to being stared down by an emu (and I have been). You are spoiling the name of cockatoo by saying things that are not true, unless you breed them different to Australia, which I doubt as they originate here. Please do your research before leading people astray about this gorgeous bird 😊

[@ALKaorix]

You should definitely paint the wires of the aviary black, it’s makes it look like it’s invisible and you’ll see the birds better.

[@jennifergorges72]

Bad idea. The birds will fly into the wires thinking that they can fly out of the cage. If I have my window blinds, my parrot will fly into the window.

[@GoatDaddys]

We’ve considered it, but an additional downside is if the birds climb on the wire at all it will peel off the paint. We have painted the wire on a number of other animal enclosures tho!

[@lotofbitsabout]

Celeste looks much better than when you brought her home! Great job!

[@sonyarogersmissmagic8587]

Love the aviary!! Do they bite the water hoses?

[@GoatDaddys]

They haven’t actually bit the hose itself- they have bit the nozzle portion a few times tho so it’s seen better days 😅

[@maureencepiel959]

Is this aviary heated also, or do you have to move the birds in the winter?

[@GoatDaddys]

We add radiant patio heaters on the inside, and a greenhouse tarp on the outside during the winter time to help act as an additional wind block and increase the ambient temperature of the enclosure!

[@crazycactuscollector2462]

Great aviary 😊Do you still have the amazons and cockatoos :)

[@GoatDaddys]

Yes we do! They’re currently housed in seperate aviaries since they aren’t compatible with the macaws at this time. 3 amazons and 3 cockatoos total 😁

[@crazycactuscollector2462]

@GoatDaddys That's great ,I love amazons ,I have a red lored and a cuban :) Plus a male rescue australian king parrot ,1 quaker ,1 conure and 2 budgies . The 3 big birds get along and the 4 little ones get along which helps :)

[@JKCat64-xd7oh]

How would you rate your birds 1-10 based on cuteness?

[@GoatDaddys]

An absolute 10/10 when they’re not trying to attack me😅

[@elijahkuzniczci2938]

I would remove the english ivy because it's toxic and the birds could potentially chew on it. They can be deadly to birds. However, the other plants are safe.

[@mbautsch]

What size carport did you use?

[@GoatDaddys]

45ft x 20ft!

[@mbautsch]

@@GoatDaddys Beautiful Work!!!

[@chuck4abuck1]

Did y'all get flooded out?

[@GoatDaddys]

Yes- thankfully there was zero impact on any of the animals, and only minimal damage done to fencing. Spending the next few days preparing for the hurricane!

[@chuck4abuck1]

@@GoatDaddys y'all have a friend around the corner if you need one 😁. Be blessed and be safe my friends

[@TheSledger01]

The macaw hardware cloth being 2”x2” will allow rodents into the aviary.

[@GoatDaddys]

Luckily we don’t have any issues with rodents!

[@s.a.morris8625]

... surprised clear roof panels were not used...

[@GoatDaddys]

Clear roofing panels would “bake” the birds in the summertime with our 100 degree South Carolina weather which is why we opted for the solid panels.

[@Tyronebol-s5s]

So sigma

[@graffic13]

Why can't the amazons live in there too?!

[@GoatDaddys]

Over time with slow introductions we might! Right now, they haven’t had exposure to eachother so to put them in there would increase potential for injury. Right now our Amazon’s are housed in a seperate aviary where they’re able to interact with eachother.

[@florabamabelle6413]

Nice!❤

[@millieboon]

What happened to the cockatoos

[@GoatDaddys]

They’re still with us! They’re being housed individually right now but all with in eyesight of eachother so they can get used to eachother. Once they’re showing signs of compatibility we’ll plan on moving them in an aviary together as well😁

[@happytobe007]

Sir I really want macaw. I am from India . I'm really shocked to keep birds . Here in India it's very expensive. High amount 😁.
