The complex is looking fantastic Mark! Tell Jason that I am jealous! You are both doing a great job and I look forward to the end results. There is nothing better than finishing an aviary and filling it up with all your birds and then watching them with a beer and hoping the little buggers breed for you as soon as possible! Haha

Well here are some up dated pics for you all !! We decided to midify the old cockatoo aviaries so they look all the same as the new ones we added on to the end of it The bottom 600 will have corragated colourbond on it and the top 1800 will be inch x inch weld mesh This is a photo of the roof trusses jason made the roof of the complex will be 600 highet than the aviaries as to help keep it cool and air flow Jason Screwing down the first 4 roof sheets Both ends of the complex will be solid wall except 900 of the front and a door in the other end After this photo was taken the corrigated colourbond sheeting was applyed to the bottom of these 5 conventionals The rest of the paddic where stage 2 and 3 are going in time The wire was all over the place as you might have seen in other pics of these aviaries i posted before you might even be able to see wot the wire was like in the remaining 6 in the background of this pic Well i straightened out the old wire that was already on it and it came up PERFICT !!! Well this is where we are up to so we are hoping to have it finnished in the next 3-4 weeks ready for the breeding season Ill update pics as we progress
