  yes would agree, take the aviary down......you will need a drinker for the water, and do you have any ventilation or windows in the loft ?  :)

yes an internal door is also good so the birds dont fly over your head and escape....do you plan on getting young birds or older birds ? if older, maybe an outside aviary would be good for them....... :)

i am not sure i am in east lothian i think old yellow would be the one to ask unless any one seeing this can tell you. if you where buying birds it would cost more than the price of a delivery. but you are welcome to them .will let you know when birds are ready

thinking of putting some wood chipping down would thought it would absorb water droppings

Agree although seen some lofts with layers of 5h1te and birds are happy.

i have seen a loft with at least 2 foot thick with shti and the birds where immaculate

lino can be dangerous and slippery for you!

You need more ventilation, put some grilles near floor level with a gap near the roof the air will circulate keeping the loft dry and fresh.
