Quiet wild duck species
I'm building an aviary for some wild duck species. I've done lots of research and will probably get some mandarins and ringed teal. Not sure about other duck species. I need ones that aren't too loud as I have neighbours right next door. Mainly dabbling ducks I'm looking at but may consider...- Duckpond1245

An instant and affordable quail aviary option?: Using pop-up mattress mosquito netting to house quail.

How to control temperatures for future aviary?

Quail and Parrots?
I've heard it referenced before that people have kept quail in the bottoms of aviaries that house various species of parrots. My question is, how do you keep the birds safe bacteria wise?

Broody Coturnix #3
Well, maybe more like #2.5 since this is Wilma's second go-round on "real" eggs. She's done everything a mother hen can do to give her adopted babies a shot at coming out, and weathered some impressive rain storms the last couple days. With luck, there will be chicks before Sunday. Have a... -

Keeping California quail in groups
I would love to get some California valley quail, but I had a few questions first. Could they be kept in a larger flock in an aviary? If so, would they be able to breed in there or do they need to be separated for that? Thanks in advance. Side note- does anyone know if they count as game birds... -

Greenhouse aviary?
Does anyone use a portable greenhouse structure to keep their quail? How did you fortify it?
