l DON'Twant to appear to be an ugly american but aren't there resources in the UK that you can call upon? I mean I have seen some cool set-ups in the UK that I had to pass up because of the curency problems and shipping costs. I suggest you do some searching on the Internet with UK sources being favored. Knowledge is easy Physical objects like Avairies and feed and grit don't do so well.

A bunch of people on here have made aviaries out of the frames for portable garages or greenhouses.

Here's a few recent threads that folks have used. I'm sure the materials are in your area as well. Anything that has a frame should be a good place to start.

Personally, this is one that I really wish I could do:

I swear it seems everytime I find something I like and in my price range it's at a UK site. You all are really into your ducks over there!

I've never heard of buying an aviary. Can you do that?

I made an emergency aviary out of deer netting and a clothes line! LOL

Hey, it kept the hawks from eating the rest of my ducks so I guess it counts

Here is a site that has lots of ideas for how to make frames out of PVC piping, it's easy and inexpensive.

If you have the money you can buy almost anything! Most of the places that have high end green houses will do aviaries, simple replace some of the glass/plastic panels with framed netting. The ones that make me drool fit into a wall of your house with glass and a door on the living space wall so you can watch the birds in confort.

Hummm...don't think I can fit this in the back yard
