My breeding room

In the following photographs you will see the various fittings inside my breeding room. Also you can see some of my cages which are made by myself as well as all other metal work such as the metal door and window steel cover for theft protection. All canary cage blocks can be converted to either flight or breeding cages by just removing or putting back the dividers.
I will try to explain each photo with a short description underneath it.

Main switchboard of electrical instalaltion, with the fan controller which fan can blow air either in or out and also control the speed of it. the fan is located on top of the door, which is on the lest of this controller. and then it's the dimming switch which can set for wake up and sleep time with an option to set the lenght of sunshine and sunrise. A night light option is avaialble which can also be dimmed to your preferenace.

The construction of a block of 30 breeding cages. 5 across and 6 in height. I made it in two pieces and weld them together.




the two pieces together and on the background you can see the breeding room. The white square on top of the door is the fan. Opposite of the door is a window for air circulation and on the other two sides are the cages.

Here you can see the 30 cages on the left wall of the room. On the back and sides are covered with white plywood so they are box style cages.

I took a picture with the tray and divider before putting the side plywood so you can see how it works.

Same thing here

The breeding room with the photo taken on the doorstep. The window is covered with wire mesh so a bird cannot escape in case it flights out of its cage and metal bars are for protection in case somebody trys to break in.






With some coloured canaries from this year's breeding. Top raw breeding and the one below is used as flight for juvenilles. These canaries are used as foster parents for the Parisian Frills when needed.

this trolley is made by myself and it's an idea I got after seeing that I was going back and forth in the room many times a day. so I made this that I have all the different types of seeds that I use and move it along as I pass from each cage for feeding.

The sink which is a must in every breeding room. This water is used only for washing and cleaning. The drinking is in a water dispenser and I don't use the tap water but I use the one we consume for safety and quality. A plastic self cabinet with doors to store utensils and other things and protect them from dust and feathers.

The fan on top of the door. The glass door and inside there is a metal door just like the window for theft protection. A tubular light just above the door which has an indipendent switch from the dimming system. On the right is the dimmer and stuff you saw on a previous photo.

This is a part the work I'm currently busy with. When I finish all of these cages my room will be filled!

In the photos following I will try to show you the building procedure of my breeding room and cages. The breeding room was constructed by a very good friend of mine with my help. All electric wiring was done by an approved electrician. All cages, theft proof window and door was done by myself. I even made the gouldian finch nests using plywood so I can have them the size and shape I beleive suits them most.
