Parakeets outside aviary over winter

[410farmer]

I use a concrete vapor barrier which is 10mils thick.I like your pen but I would cover the outside with wire as wood can rot from the inside and you won't even see it until there a piece missing.I would also put a slope to your roof so snow and rain doesn't like up on it.

My roof isn’t long enough for the water runoff to not drop down the front wire. Any suggestions to make the water not run down the actual aviary front sides

Pitch it to the rear.just build the front up with a 4"thick board,or double up 2x4s any pitch will help.

I raise cockateils and diamond doves outside year-round.I poly their pen so there is no drafts but you don't want it to tight as mold will start to grow,so make sure there is a fresh air supply but not where they roost.i don't think a heat source is a good idea.If you supply heat they will not produce the down that keeps them warm.Dont cover your pen until it reaches around 35 degrees so they can produce the down,after they produce the down you can cover them.I am in N.H. and it does get into the teens and sometimes lower but no long term.Your birds will be much healthier if they can endore the winters outside.

Do you have any pictures of your outdoor Aviary? I wouldn't have thought they could be kept outside in freezing temperatures. I've been planning on building an outdoor Aviary but I assumed I'd have to bring my birds inside. Would like to make a section where they can safely live outside.
