So we are building an aviary for some mandarins and call ducks
This is the first aviary we are building becuase all of our ducks and geese that we raise free range during the day and go up at night , but we knew that getting these smaller ducks meant that they couldnt "really" free range without the higher risk of hawks or birds of prey getting them (all of our other ducks are larger breeds and hawks , which are the only birds of prey that we have around here other than owls but again the ducks go into coops at night so they arent a bother, hawks dont mess with the ducks but instead the ducks actually rather scare most hawks) anyway we relize that the calls and madies shouldnt go out anyway since they are more fragil and we are working on an aviary.
i have the plans set out, we know what we are going to do for the water/pool, the coop, protection/netting
what i need help with is what safe plants can i plant in the aviary to help provide shade and keep the ground from turning to basicly slush , also just to help it look nice and tranquil.
Also any advice is very helpful
