Whatt sort of birds are kept here and what sort of temperatures do they tolerate and are they kept there year round?

No longer exists, he died a few years ago now, but he used to keep budgies in there year round (this was in Surrey). They had large areas at the back where they could go in to keep warmer. He also used to put extra boards around it in the winter.

Pretty little lady in the aviary.

Be a lot easier if you could raise kids this way as well as birds!

LOL. I'm with you there Gillian. How old is your daughter now?

She's 22 now! She's my oldest.

Sounds like your family life is as busy as ours. Our oldest just turned 23 and our youngest just turned 15. 3 inbetween brings the total to 5.
