I started breeding Budgerigars and a few other birds a while ago in a 6x4 shed. It contained 2 double breeders with self-contained nest boxes. I bred a few that year I had some Chinese Painted Quails running around my feet. I then extended this and put a flight on and removed the breeders and went into letting them breed on there own for a while to see what they would do and how they reacted with each other. This did not last long, After a few months some of the birds had paired of and settled others were set on destroying everything in site including the nest boxes with chicks in. These were soon oiked out and separated. once the chicks were at fledging age all the nest boxes were removed.

I decided then to build a new bird-room that suited my needs at the time, it at to house incubators for the quails, a resting coup for Chickens as I kept around 100 200 Chickens aswell,. In the end the Bird-room was 30ft x 45ft Most of the trimmings to match, running water just not hot running water. The cages I had decided to make from Conti--board. and use Cage front purchased from Kent Cages in Maidstone.. In this Bird-room I had 15 Budgie Breeding Cages, and in the year i could breed around 100 to 380 Budgerigars.

I have since moved and had to rebuild, having done so I have been able to alter parts that I could have made better the first time around, If you have the space I recommend that you have a counter-top Fridge, They are a god send,. The veg and soft feed stay as fresh as anything. it is great to have everything in one place rather than having to keep going indoors for something.. I grow Veg and have a freezer in my new Bird room, so come winter i can still feed the birds the freshest products i can.. I only have a small Garden now but use raised planters for the veg to grown Beetroot and Fennel is the main ones, Carrots too..

The Pictures above are of the new Bird-room it consists of a block of 20 wooden breeders and around 45 wire & wooden mixed breeding cages.
