Is that a large aviary they are in or just in a fenced in area? My pens are 10 by 30 feet and adjacent to each other with gates opening between them but I want to build something big they can come out into but would go back into the safe pens for the night. Not sure how to build it, especially the ceiling part. Your peas are gorgeous.

It is a large aviary. They can also get inside to their shelter. Some go in every night others wouldn't dream of it.........I used netting for the ceiling.

How large is it? What did you use for the sides? Any chance you have some pictures? I was free ranging my peafowl going the 4 years I've had them but a couple of my 2 year old's were run off their high tree roost at night and killed a couple months ago. Now I'm afraid to let my year old Spaldings back out. They just aren't street smart when raised in an aviary. I want to keep them safe. Thanks
