Aviary perches ?

[Guest cosmic dave]

Hi again guys, I am building a small aviary on the side of the loft. Should I put perches in the aviary or would it be wise just to let them walk on the aviary floor ? because the aviary is only small I'm worried about the birds flapping around and breaking feathers  :-/

I would definitely put something for the birds to rest on so they are off the floor. I would probably go a couple of wooden rails at different heights.

agree with rasbull get a few 2 inch battons or 1 1/2 inch and do it that way make sure different heights and not above eachother directly

if only small, i would use a few v perches then you dont waste space

Pigeons are not ground dwellers they like to sit on a perch or a shelf as they do in the wild, I have both individual perches and shelves in my aviary

 

I used a branch when we built our first aviary
