Expansion of the aviary 2025

The new plastic cages developed by the company OESIEG are very easy to assemble.
The 15 breeding boxes 120 x 60 x 55cm (W x D x H) are made entirely of plastic, aluminium and stainless steel.
My colleague Christoph Heimoz built ​​a 6m long drawer unit with 8 smooth-running drawers as a base for the new breeding cages.
By removing the dividers, 5 breeding cages can also be used as stock cage 600 x 60 x 55cm (W x D x H) or as flight aviaries.
As an innovative new feature from the company OESIEG the cage fronts are no longer screwed into the cages, but held in position by means of power magnets.
This innovation makes regular cleaning much easier.
The tried and tested plastic nesting boxes 20 x 25 x 25cm (W x D x H) can be easily slid into the breeding cages and can be opened from the outside, which simplifies regular nesting box checks.
Although made entirely of plastic, a nesting trough made of Meranti wood is used.
1 large indoor aviary 240 x 310 x 230cm (W x D x H)…
…and two small aviaries for young Bourke's parrots complete the facility.
The new, self-developed, flexible and adjustable perch holder allows perches with a diameter of 10 - 18mm to be attached and, if necessary, easily replaced.
Three 300W infrared heating panels (90 x 30cm) mounted on the ceiling provide the necessary warmth in the breeding room during winter.
For lighting, three LED lights 1400mm long, SOLAR STINGER type DAYLIGHT (6500° K LEDs) with 24 watts each from ECONLUX are used.
The LUNETTA night light (0.4 W) from OSRAM with brightness sensor is used as a night light (4 pieces for the entire breeding room).
A NOVUS LHV 225 fan with an output of 900 m3 per hour provides the necessary air circulation. The entire system is controlled by a SUEVIA 248 T30 timer from CONRAD .
