Along the back wall of the birdroom there  is a  bank of 44 breeding cages, I use the all wire type with plastic tray for  catching spent seed and droppings.                                                          I find this type cage easy to keep clean and with the all wire floor,keeps the birds away from the above. I use a desk type nest box( inside the cage ) The water is filtered and changed each day , on warm days the water is changed twice.

Here I have one of my flights it measures 3.5 m x 2 m, this picture was taken before the birds were introduced, it is now full. As you can see I use Strip lighting which is on at 7.30am and off at 10.30pm. And yes that is in fact a cooker hood which filters the air and also has the added bonus of a night light.

This is a block of nine conventional cages I find that some hens prefer this type of cage. The nest-box is wooden  and is attached inside the cage to the roof, the old perches from our show cages are fixed to the back of the cage outside the box. I also have fitted cupboards below for storage.

This picture shows  my other flight  it measures  4 m x 2 m , it is well stocked I have not thought about an outside flight as of yet , there is a large amount of wild birds that  live in the area along with a family of Buzzards, ( good enough reason )

This is the other side of the block of nine conventional cages, here I use an outside nest box which is in actual fact  PVC,havent tried them as of yet but will be soon . This block also has cupboards for storage

This is the weaning cages, I have three of these but need more, I intend to get another three on a stand and casters that can be moved  easily.
