may be a bit damp in the morninings and tough to clean up droppings.

but the grass itself will not harm the birds.

thanks its only a temp home for them but i dont want to turn the birds down as there good birds

grass aint a good idea continuous droppings into the grass /soil is asking for trouble with bacterial infections etc better idea would be a raised mesh floor with trays to catch the droppings beneath much safer......ray

Or till sorted, make sure that they can perch way up off the grass.

well the flight is 6 x 4 or so and i can move it around but i dont want the birds to suffer so ill do what ever is best for them

My worry is that it doesn't sound very secure for the birds; flight sat on grass invites something to burrow under the mesh walls.

 

Think I'd want it sat on a slabbed area, but can't think of anything to put on the slabs to keep them clean and which would stay dry in wet weather.

Not generally recommended if in a wet climate etc, concrete or raised galvanized steel floor/mesh better option in my view.

Don't be afraid though, to give your birds now & again a tuft of grass from your garden, many of them will really enjoy it, & it's cheap.

Enjoy
