Temperature control in the aviary

[@GrNiGo83]

What I saw is truly amazing! Congratulations for what you have built for these fellows! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷!

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you! If I lived in Greece, I probably would ‘t need to mess around so much with temp control!

[@GrNiGo83]

@@Echosaviary it depends, if you lived in the North I think you should. If you lived in the East though,you probably wouldn't need to...

That is an amazing aviary! Just curious how much it cost you to build that aviary? Also the cost to run the heaters?

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you! It was ridiculously expensive. The plexiglass panels were around $8000 to give an idea. The coldest, darkest, month is about $200. However, even on the coldest days, if it is sunny, the heaters shut off as it gets toasty warm without them.

What an amazing aviary. You are super sweet to take so much though in their care. Bravo!! Spectacular!!

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing the amazing aviary. Where to get the design of the aviary, please share with me.

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you, I made it up. Important considerations about the design is in the aviary build playlist.

Really nice aviary, what cooling fan you used?

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you! It doesn’t look like I can add a photo here, but it is a 12 inch diameter VES exhaust fan plugged into a temperature controller. Used with greenhouses.

Lovely aviary, made with love. What are the heaters you're using? As I'm looking to build an aviary this summer, but in the UK it gets very cold

[@Echosaviary]

Thanks! They are heatstorm brand infrared heaters. Have worked very well. Not cheap to heat through the winter in washington, with my set up, but reliable so far and can control through phone. Maintenance is cleaning air intake filters every few months- easy

[@lacielouchannel4424]

I might of missed the two separate rooms you have. One for the birds to sleep and keep warm and one for the flight .

[@Echosaviary]

I have a corner of the aviary that is enclosed so it can be heated to a higher temp without breaking the bank. There is a small opening between it and the main aviary. Birds are free to come and go as they please between the two

Beautiful

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you!

Hi, thank you for video 👍 What kind of fan do you have, and where can I get one?

[@lacielouchannel4424]

Hi . What about the electric heaters in the avairy while you use the water mister .or is it all covered up so it can't get wet .

[@Echosaviary]

Good question, they are in different areas so they can’t get wet.

[@adityajadhav4072]

What are the dimensions of the aviary? And how many birds and of what species?🙂

[@Echosaviary]

It is 12 feet by 16 feet by 10 foot tall. The number of birds varies but typically less than 15. I have parrotfinch, firefinch, waxbill, oliveback and mannikins at the moment.

[@adityajadhav4072]

Thanks! I was planning an aviary which is 8 ft by 8 ft and 7.2 ft tall. Would that be enough to permanently and comfortably house 7 budgerigars for non-breeding purposes? Good to know that you give such a spacious enclosure for the finches!😀

[@Echosaviary]

I would think the budgies would be very happy in that space.

[@adityajadhav4072]

Nice😊. I decided to upgrade it! So now it measures 9 ft by 8.4 ft by 8 ft tall. Thanks for your suggestion on the space for a cage confined budgie . Definitely subscribing! BTW, what are the interior/usable space of your aviary, counting out the door and roof?

[@artzt23]

I wish I could build like this

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you!

[@Emily-pd5fu]

Love your aviary. Wish more people would do this for their birds. 🦜 💜

[@Echosaviary]

Thank you! I know I am incredibly fortunate that I have the opportunity to keep them the way I would like too (for the most part).
