Cockatiels in Outdoor Aviary

Big outdoor Cockatiel Flight Cage/Aviary. Right now there's I think 32 birds in there, around 14 pairs plus some that will be pairs soon. The Aviary has room for 40-46 birds easily and there's 10 birds currently in the house (on eggs) that will be moved outside either once their babies are pulled, or in the spring if it's too cold when they are ready to move.

Have some cool ones including a couple Clear Pieds (all white but no red eyes), an Albino, a bunch of Pearls, a few Cinnamons, a few Whiteface, some Pieds, and an Emerald or two.

The aviary is about 18' long in total, about 14' wide on the outside and 10' wide on the inside, and is 9' tall on the outside and 8' tall on the inside.

I've used a variety of perches: a plastic chain, a bird-safe poly rope, some branches from a Mulberry tree, some big palm fronds, a couple 2x4's, and also a metal grid that used to be part of a rabbit cage...

There's currently 12 breeding boxes with 12 more ready to be installed (we had to put the birds in first, to be able to take the boxes off of the cages they were already in).
The birds were put into this Aviary about 10 minutes before this video - until then they were either in breeder cages (as pairs) or in a big 8'x3' indoor cage... so they haven't had much flying exercise. I'm sure they'll get really strong soon!

In case you're wondering, there will be a small heater in the winter (Las Vegas winters), and there's already a misting system (can probably see it above the roof) for the summers. I haven't put the water and food bowls in yet, want to get them calmed down a bit first.
