I have a 3m long x 2.5m wide outdoor avairy that has my finches in it. i have found that they dont go well with the cold, sadly through trial and my error, i have lost a couple of them. But i now have found a way around the cold. i have placed clear lazorlite over 3/4 of the mesh and it allows sunshine in as well as keeps the whole avairy warm all day and into the night. it has been such a sucess that i have 5 nests going and my finches love to sit directly in the sunlight and not have any cold winds or drafts. i have left the other 1/4 open cause they do need to breathe and it gives them fresh air and allows heat to waft out so as not to cook them. i am no expert but i seem to have had sucess with this. i also recomend contacting your local finch society they have far more knowledge than me as i am only just starting out myself. good luck! hi,

Could you give me your opinion of doing this correctly as I live on the central coast near wyong. This is about half way between Sydney and Newcastle. Also is there anyone you know or a bird club here that may be able to help me. Regards Ron Just read your story about if you can keep gouldians in an aviary in Sydney.
