The Yellow Bird House

Here are a few things I found out that I hope will help you. The roof has a cap to help with ventilation. The house is on cement piers that also helps with ventilation. I cut out holes in the floor and covered them with several layers of heavy duty screen. I live in the upper south so it gets hot and humid in the summer and somewhat cold in the winter so I had to insulate the walls and ceiling. I have an air conditioner for the summer heat. My aviary isn't large enough to have a sink inside but, I do have one outside which is nice so I don't have to drag everything in the house. My aviary doesn't have windows, they take up valuable wall space. I hope in the near future I can get skylights. So for right now I use artificial lighting. As you can see I have a door that lets some light in. On the inside of that door I have a screen door. The screen door is for two reasons, one to help stop escapees and two, I can open the outside door to help with ventilation. You are probably saying now, she sure does talk a lot about ventilation, but I can't say enough about it because it is very important.
