Thank You! Very helpful. Love Your Videos. I had an CAG for over 27 years. I missed her so much, after a few years, I was ready. Everything came together & Remington came into my life. It's amazing to me how much I didn't know. Still have so much to learn. Thank You and Smokey for enriching our lives.
Loved this! Love your aviary! Is Smokey wings clipped? My cockatiels are fully flighted indoors & have destroyed my fiddle leaf fig. I had to move it into my bathroom so birds can't constantly chew on it. Another great video! Thank you!
Thank you for your videos. I have a green cheek conure, so my bird is different from Smokey. That said, I love seeing things that you consider and think about to make Smokey's life more enriched.
I read in the local newspaper that Smokey is missing, having flown out of her aviary. I hope you will get her back. I live in the area, and will watch out for her every day.
I just bought some Grevillea, Birds love them, great plants for California, the flowers are beautiful and have sweet nectar. Bottlebrush is colorful and safe for birds, also Nasturtiums.
Curly willow is a favourite of mine. It has natural rooting hormone, so it's really easy to grow and re root into more plants. Very low maintenance, as well. The leaves and twigs are great for chewing on. We have many plants.
I think it is great that you are using bowls to hold plants to make it more natural like and it strikes me that you may grow wisteria or other climbing plants around the outside of the aviary and it will climb up to be a shelter for Smokey. But I think it needs to be done carefully to avoid Smokey’s bites when the wisteria is small.
I watched your video completely, it's amazing. I am happy with your progress. being an architect i would like to add few suggestions on designing part , if you don't mind, that will help smokey to habitat in a more natural environment.
I am planning to build an indoor aviary for my bird, and the galvanized after welding info was really valuable. Some people disagree out there but it is the more logical option to build one, otherwise you have to spend a fortune on stainless steel mesh and make the whole thing of building up one by your own not worth it. Thank you very much!!! Like
Hey, where do you buy your perches from? I really liked your setup. I have a decent sized indoor cage for my grey but I plan to get an outdoor aviary. Have to do some planning first. 👍
Been thinking about an outdoor aviary but I live in California so summers are too hot and winters sometimes too cold for parrots. I would need to find a place closer to my house, to keep an eye on my birds, and shady. But the summer and drought has dried up most trees and I don't have enough space to build something to have shade. Hopefully will figure it out soon.
My boys liked the potted Hibiscus tree I put inside the aviary for them. In your climate it would likely thrive all year. Here, I have to either bring it indoors or replace it in the spring. I chose the latter for several obvious reasons lol. I'm shocked you already have rust. Epic fail on the manufacturers part. I used galvanized wire mesh but to prevent the boys from actually coming into contact with it, I stapled up patio and pool screening all the way around. (same as what we use on windows except it comes in a 6' wide roll). Just an idea for your viewers that have smaller parrots. My birds don't really bother with it at all so it's held up perfectly for two years now. They have enough stuff to climb around on that they rarely climb on the screening. Looking forward to seeing what you do in there! A tree branch swing might be nice if Smokes likes to swing. Hugs from us to you! xxx
Ahhh one more thought. Grab one of those Magna-Screens to keep your doorway safe from escape. It won't look terribly out of place as it's just black screening that will magnetically snap shut as you walk thru it. 👍🏻
Every bird will like something different. Generally, I recommend keeping your bird on a pelleted diet. Sunflower and safflower work well as training treats.
We have just adopted an African grey parrot. He is about 19 year old loves to talk and shout has a lovely coat but he will not let us touch him and tries to bite us. Is he too old to change?
Your fiddle leaf fig should be fine outside, and is better off outside than inside anyway. Eucalyptus are crunchy and fun plants to have, and grow very well in dry sunny spots, and should do splendidly in California. You can also plant flowers, such as babys tears and impatiens, to liven up the garden and maybe even attract some insects for Smokey to investigate. For less sunny spots its safe to have Boston Ferns and Maidenhair ferns. I imagine the Cali sun is quite strong so any very shady, damp spots will be favored by ferns. As for the aviary- looks great! Never seen an easier to clean aviary- with a powerhose it would barely take a minute.
Not trying to be mean, just asking an honest question. Aren't African Grey's supposed to be together? I was looking to buy one, but the breeder I was going to use said they needed to be sold in pairs because they were very social birds and got depressed very easily if you only had one. I ended up settling for a Nanday Conure because I don't have room for two big birds.
I love when pet stores feed on the gullibility of pet owners. "Oh absolutely, birds should never be by themselves. And it just so happens that we have another bird just like the one you just bought at only twice what you paid for the first one. Because this one is special. It was born with one extra toe!!!!!!! PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR SALES PITCH!!!!!!!!!
My concern is where I live (IL) it is often wet, so rust. Also very worried about it being blown away during our wind storms/tornado season. What's your opinion about outdoor aviaries that are dug into the ground (to prevent it shifting)?
Love your videos. Would this Aviary work indoors for a pair of Caiques. I can't afford a stainless cage but I love this size of cage. Any suggestions for the ground? What is the company name? Cat grass is an edible plant. Does Smoky forage?
She absolutely does forage. I think this aviary would be great for your caiques! The bar spacing would be perfect and it would give them such a huge space to well...do what caiques do. As for a flooring, lots of things can work. Off the top of my head, I think tile or melamine may be easiest to clean. I got it off amazon; I think if you do a search for "paney black aviary", it'll come up.
Are mosquitoes an issue when it comes to aviaries? Also is it practical to build my own aviary out of hardwood? I figured I could save some cash and give my birdie a bit more space if I went that route rather than buying one outright.
I take her in at night and during the day, I don't notice any mosquitos. Mosquitos might be a problem depending on where you live, relative humidity, and whether or not you have standing water. Building your own aviary is a great idea and there are resources you can find online that will help you out. Don't let anyone talk you out of building or getting an aviary; it is the best purchase you will ever make for your bird.
Can you please list where your aviary was purchased? Thanks! Smokes is a gorgeous girl!! That's a big beautiful fiddle leaf fig plant you have, my Eclectus has done some damage to mine. Lol!
Yea, I keep it out of her reach because she would destroy it if given the chance. If you do a search on amazon.com for "black paney aviary", I'm sure it'll come up.
We like to build our own aviarys they work good and the birds like them obvoisly I only prefer this methid for people who have the time and space it works good and you can make it how you like it.
I am planning indoor aviary for my grey with natural indoor nontoxic vegetation. Which will be of approx 4ft x3ft and 7ft high, enclosed with walls on 3 sides and net door in front. Can you please tell me if the soil surface will be toxic for my bird or not ?
Dear How much is the temperature in the production room? What do I need to prepare a room for the product pair? What is the best food for the product pair?
You should consider putting shade cloth ( green looks good ) to protect your bird from hawks flying over and coming in for a meal. I have shade cloth on all my avery"s LOL aviaries
BJGvideos same! My birds have free flight of my living room but im looking into backpack carriers for walks and eventually im going to look into harnessed flight training.
Hi! Could you please make a video about baby grey care and its growing steps becouse I just get my 7 weeks old african baby 4 days ago.I’m afraid of doing something wrong that hurts my baby
I thought it as well,and actually,the chicks aren't as fragile as u think,but still they are a bit weak,but as a baby,this is a prime time for you to bond and tame them and let them trust u,so once they grow up you can teach them tricks and how to fly :P
Not a big fan of powder coating. Everything I have that has been pc has chipped and then...you guessed it, rusted! Not over years but over months or even upon delivery. Not very easy to fix yourself without a sand blaster and powder coating equipment.
Are you apart of parrot station on Facebook? I normally don't use Facebook other then playing games. But the group was made by Marlene McCohen aka parrot queen so I joined.
Why not try something edible like kale/spinach/ herbs? Fresh vegetables and herbs are great for your bird and smokey will eventually try and chew on the plants. Plus many are green and very pretty :)
She does get kale, spinach, and other veggies on a daily basis to both eat and destroy. She usually will shred and destroy them within minutes so I don't think those plants will last very long with her.
You shld know that if it ALL is truly powdercoated properly, it is guaranteed not to rust. You shld consider hving those parts stripped and re powedcoated.
A bit of nitpicking (you're a teacher after all if I don't misremember): "All metals rust". No only iron rusts (rust is an iron oxide). Oxidation is what you're thinking of and sometimes that is what we want! (In stainless steel and aluminium it's a very thin oxide layer that inhibits further oxidation.) Apart from that, thanks for a nice video (as usua). And a question out of curiosity (getting a parrot is not in my current plans): What temperature range is suitable?
It must have been a long day...you're absolutely right in that rust is only specific to iron and that some metals like pure Al will naturally form a passivation layer of aluminum oxide. Regarding the temperature range, most birds can withstand and be comfortable in temperatures in the low 50's. However, the key is acclimation. You simply can't take a bird who's been kept indoors where the temperature is constantly in the 70s and place them outdoors overnight where the temperature is in the low 50s.
The long day explains it, didn't seems like "you" to make such mistake :-) And the temps where about as I expected and here (Sweden) one can't be sure that it will keep above 50F during the night even in the summer (in periods it does). So any ideas I had about in the future building a giant aviary can be scrapped. Besides I will likely be to old when I could realize such plan to get a bird - Not fair to a bird that likely bonds very strongly.
wingsNpaws I'm so sorry that i just saw your message I would have love to meet and greet And show you around Shout me out next time you come i old love to meet you and your partner and show you around
My meyers and princess of wales do this thing where they move their buts up and down. I taught them to do it on cue. All I have to say is twerk and they start getting down. It's so cute.😊
I think u should let the parrot know this is a place full of food and water and that that is their house,so they don't fly away,and also other birds can really hurt them and animals like foxes,dogs and even cats can hurt them
wingsNpaws .... I live in Jordan. .Amman. it is located in the middle east. Your video are extremely education towards an parrot owner and entertaining. Thanks for your comments and reply. Have a nice day.
My African Grey,who is called Rustam,loses feathers from his chest,legs and a bit on the side(where the bottom of his wings touch),he is now ,I reckon,30% bald,and the thing is,he likes apples and he eats beans,so he's healthy foodwise,we change his water 3+ times a day,we clean his cage and we regularly let him out where he explores the room and even dares to walk around on the floor,so he isn't skeptical of his surroundings,he is right in front of a window and he gets a lot of sunlight,so I'm guessing he gets a lot of vitamins,and most importantly,he is very talkative and is friendly to me,he doesn't trust me to carry him when not needed,but I can put him on my sleeve if he needs help getting up,which he has no problem with,apart from a bit of precaution,but overall he has no problem with his surroundings and owners,he's clean and gets sunlight and everything,so I don't get why he loses feathers,the thing is,he is now 10 and he started losing feathers at 8.In my opinion,this is because he HATES water,we've given him a bath for him to go in,and he didn't want to go in,(we did leave it in there for days for him to have a chance in getting used to it,which he didn't)we introduced him to showers when he was 5 or so,and he just flew off,he avoids spraying,and from watching ur bath video,he shows all of the things in the list of him not liking water,spraying him is the same,he just avoids it,and most importantly,he refuses to get his feet cleaned,so he could have germs,but I can't clean it because he bites me,my parents don't want him outside and he only has one cage which is not the biggest,but he doesn't have a problem with it,and he also had a lot of toys.PLEASE if anyone reads this and are experts with an African Grey,can u please give me suggestions on what to do,because I think I have to teach him to like water,but I don't know how,please help :/
ZainZaBeast If you ever see something worrisome in your parrot, don't hesitate, take your bird to the exotic vet nearby. Better safe than sorry. Not worth asking online "experts". Take your bird to an actual expert.
I think you should teach her,I read that if that happens then if they get scared and try to fly but they never have flew before they could really get hurt.So yeah :P
He had to teach Smokey how to fly because she used to be clipped. There's probably a video somewhere that shows you how to properly teach your bird how to fly
Maybe patience is in order. My sweet Kenya, now 24 yrs old, just started flying voluntarily (not just when startled), though he has not been clipped in many years and has lots of free time outside his cage. Also be careful what you wish for! Flighted birds demand a whole new level of vigilance.
A B Sure, and when they have full feathers they can do it. But a clipped bird will try to fly, fall and get hurt, and then be scared to try again because the last time they just fell.
Great job setting up the aviary! I enjoyed the tour & Smokey looks happy - & cute as usual. Go to a good nursery like Summer Winds (or whatever) & ask for help in picking out year round plants for medium outdoor light.
Many of you have inquired about where I got this aviary. I got it on amazon at the time but just went to check and it is no longer sold.
I enjoy watching the lovely smokey and the way you treat your bird.
Beautiful aviary for Smokey! She's a lucky bird to have you!
😶🌫️
Thank You! Very helpful. Love Your Videos. I had an CAG for over 27 years. I missed her so much, after a few years, I was ready. Everything came together & Remington came into my life. It's amazing to me how much I didn't know. Still have so much to learn. Thank You and Smokey for enriching our lives.
Your welcome! There is always something new to learn.
Thank you so much! I absolutely love love your videos and get so excited whenever you upload! So full of information that is genuine!
that's so sweet! It's great to know that my videos have that effect. Glad you enjoy them and find them helpful!
Awesome don't have an African grey but one day I will and can't wait. Enjoy watching your videos! 🔥
Very beautiful thank you for sharing
Great new Aviary! All types of orchids are safe to grow around parrots.
Loved this! Love your aviary!
Is Smokey wings clipped? My cockatiels are fully flighted indoors & have destroyed my fiddle leaf fig. I had to move it into my bathroom so birds can't constantly chew on it.
Another great video! Thank you!
Just wanted to let you know I love watching your videos! You are awesome and my mentor!
dude you think about everything, i kinda love you :> and wanna have birds with you :D
That is one happy looking grey. :]
What a great idea about the pavers! I was looking at almost $5000 for a slab. That's before I ever even think of the aviary hardware!
Thank you for your videos. I have a green cheek conure, so my bird is different from Smokey. That said, I love seeing things that you consider and think about to make Smokey's life more enriched.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into these!
California gets pretty chilly in the winter months Dec-Apr, so what do you do for the parrot to keep him, warm? Great videos, Thanks!
Curly willow is a favourite of mine. It has natural rooting hormone, so it's really easy to grow and re root into more plants. Very low maintenance, as well. The leaves and twigs are great for chewing on. We have many plants.
Thanks so much for sharing! I will definitely look into that.
wingsNpaws But, beware, it grows into huge trees, so I wouldn't plant it super close to your house. (We learned that the hard way lol)
What would happen if it was in a pot in with Smokey? Would the chewing combined with the pot keep it little?
I’m not exactly sure. I expect the plant would be little, but the roots might become root bound.
Wow this guy is amazing and educational u r sick man.
I think it is great that you are using bowls to hold plants to make it more natural like and it strikes me that you may grow wisteria or other climbing plants around the outside of the aviary and it will climb up to be a shelter for Smokey.

Some people disagree out there but it is the more logical option to build one, otherwise you have to spend a fortune on stainless steel mesh and make the whole thing of building up one by your own not worth it. Thank you very much!!! Like
First thanks for this wonderful work .....
How much temperature will be in place ????
This video is informative and your bird is cute

Ahhh one more thought. Grab one of those Magna-Screens to keep your doorway safe from escape. It won't look terribly out of place as it's just black screening that will magnetically snap shut as you walk thru it. 👍🏻
These are all such great ideas! I'll look into the hibiscus tree and will consider that. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice!
For plants I think bamboo maybe do. It is easy to grow and has a lot of varieties with different sizes and safe for parrots to bite.
love your back yard !
Awesome video as usual ! Question: what is a good treat to train my Amazon Perot? Thank you so much and keep up your wonderful work.
Every bird will like something different. Generally, I recommend keeping your bird on a pelleted diet. Sunflower and safflower work well as training treats.
I want an aviary soo bad! Yours is awesome
You should get one! You will not regret it.
now she is one happy grey fluff 😄
Great video
Can an aviary be a playground for them, and have a cage to sleep in?
We have just adopted an African grey parrot. He is about 19 year old loves to talk and shout has a lovely coat but he will not let us touch him and tries to bite us. Is he too old to change?
Pat Jelley I’m from South Africa lol and it’s true they are super feisty lol and always try and bite 😂 even the younger ones
Nice Video!!!!!!
Which Aviary is this does anyone know? I love it..Also where did you find the large perches?
Your fiddle leaf fig should be fine outside, and is better off outside than inside anyway.
Eucalyptus are crunchy and fun plants to have, and grow very well in dry sunny spots, and should do splendidly in California. You can also plant flowers, such as babys tears and impatiens, to liven up the garden and maybe even attract some insects for Smokey to investigate.
For less sunny spots its safe to have Boston Ferns and Maidenhair ferns. I imagine the Cali sun is quite strong so any very shady, damp spots will be favored by ferns.
As for the aviary- looks great! Never seen an easier to clean aviary- with a powerhose it would barely take a minute.
Thanks for the ideas! I definitely will get a boston fern. As for the maidenhair fern, I did that and Smokey destroyed it within a day.
Thank you for the nice video. Can I ask where I can order the aviary in your video? I'm considering it for my cockatoo. Thank you in advance. :)

How old is smokes?
I own a Red Lored Amazon, who’s 21 1/2 years old. He’s very charismatic and just like smokey, he loves attention.
Awesome video!
Thank you! Smokes is turning 9 this November. I love red lored amazons! They are such sweet birds!
I'm curious as to whether or not the rust spreads.
Brand? Company?

What can we do in houses with no outdoor space? I live in a condo and there's no way I could have an aviary.

I also watch Marlene :)
I am not. I've seen some of her videos. She obviously cares for her birds and I respect that.
where do u leave for those perfect conditions
Why not try something edible like kale/spinach/ herbs? Fresh vegetables and herbs are great for your bird and smokey will eventually try and chew on the plants. Plus many are green and very pretty :)

By the way
Where did you buy the aviary
I just got a female Meyer's parrot. I need some help naming her. Nothing typical or simple.
From the name,I just wanna suggest May,because it sounds cool :D,my parrot is called rustam,which is Ricky in English :P
My bird is a girl.😀
Bindi 😊
Do you keep your amazon together with your Grey?
You shld know that if it ALL is truly powdercoated properly, it is guaranteed not to rust. You shld consider hving those parts stripped and re powedcoated.

MISHELLR omg I’m actually in Montreal right now! We’re leaving tmrw night.
wingsNpaws
I'm so sorry that i just saw your message
I would have love to meet and greet
And show you around
Shout me out next time you come i old love to meet you and your partner and show you around
Where did you get this aviary???
Luke'sPlace did he ever say?
Wanted to get one too
No he didn’t, I checked the whole video and never heard him mention where he got it. I’ve looked online and never seen this exact one.
He says he got it online and that it was affordable.. but not where exactly to get it
Luke'sPlace I found it on amazon for the price he mentioned so just go to amazon and type in “aviary” it’s like the fifth one that pops up
Where did you get your aviary?
Where did you buy it
Nice !
A. vee. air. eee. Aviary
Nandina -Heavenly Bamboo works great!
My meyers and princess of wales do this thing where they move their buts up and down. I taught them to do it on cue. All I have to say is twerk and they start getting down. It's so cute.😊
Also If you have a budgie put grass on the Floor. They love to chew on grass
Hi ...do u know how to train a parrot, as a free flight in outdoor...
I think u should let the parrot know this is a place full of food and water and that that is their house,so they don't fly away,and also other birds can really hurt them and animals like foxes,dogs and even cats can hurt them
No this is not i am expecting answer...its different...thank u

Where do you live?
wingsNpaws .... I live in Jordan. .Amman. it is located in the middle east. Your video are extremely education towards an parrot owner and entertaining. Thanks for your comments and reply. Have a nice day.
Can you maybe put a link to where you for this from because I think I might get one
I think if you do a search on amazon for "paney black aviary", it'll come up.
What about bamboo, English ivy and spider plant
English ivy is toxic to some animals. Just be sure.
moringa tree next to the aviary.
Where did you buy your aviary?
Amazon but it’s no longer sold.
My African Grey,who is called Rustam,loses feathers from his chest,legs and a bit on the side(where the bottom of his wings touch),he is now ,I reckon,30% bald,and the thing is,he likes apples and he eats beans,so he's healthy foodwise,we change his water 3+ times a day,we clean his cage and we regularly let him out where he explores the room and even dares to walk around on the floor,so he isn't skeptical of his surroundings,he is right in front of a window and he gets a lot of sunlight,so I'm guessing he gets a lot of vitamins,and most importantly,he is very talkative and is friendly to me,he doesn't trust me to carry him when not needed,but I can put him on my sleeve if he needs help getting up,which he has no problem with,apart from a bit of precaution,but overall he has no problem with his surroundings and owners,he's clean and gets sunlight and everything,so I don't get why he loses feathers,the thing is,he is now 10 and he started losing feathers at 8.In my opinion,this is because he HATES water,we've given him a bath for him to go in,and he didn't want to go in,(we did leave it in there for days for him to have a chance in getting used to it,which he didn't)we introduced him to showers when he was 5 or so,and he just flew off,he avoids spraying,and from watching ur bath video,he shows all of the things in the list of him not liking water,spraying him is the same,he just avoids it,and most importantly,he refuses to get his feet cleaned,so he could have germs,but I can't clean it because he bites me,my parents don't want him outside and he only has one cage which is not the biggest,but he doesn't have a problem with it,and he also had a lot of toys.PLEASE if anyone reads this and are experts with an African Grey,can u please give me suggestions on what to do,because I think I have to teach him to like water,but I don't know how,please help :/
ZainZaBeast If you ever see something worrisome in your parrot, don't hesitate, take your bird to the exotic vet nearby. Better safe than sorry. Not worth asking online "experts". Take your bird to an actual expert.
I forgot I was subscribed to you
A loyal subscriber never forgets, you should be ashamed😒
What? Just because I didn't click the bell Icon?
A loyal subscriber never forgets to click the bell icon. It shall already have been clicked. You should be ashamed😒
Are you seriously getting this mad because I forgot about this channel? Calm down man.
Dude im just kidding.😂 btw I just got a female Meyer's parrot and I need some help naming her. All names will be taken into consideration😊
Are you a filipino,cause i am
He says 580 was the price I can't find one for less than 1300
Where did you get it from
Amazon.com, just do a search for "black paney aviary" and I'm sure it'll pop up.
You should be careful cause this type of plant can grow really big
Legit for my aviary I used stainless steel mesh
Soo sweet...My African Grey never learned to fly, so it's too much space for her if I get one :/
I think you should teach her,I read that if that happens then if they get scared and try to fly but they never have flew before they could really get hurt.So yeah :P
He had to teach Smokey how to fly because she used to be clipped. There's probably a video somewhere that shows you how to properly teach your bird how to fly
Maybe patience is in order. My sweet Kenya, now 24 yrs old, just started flying voluntarily (not just when startled), though he has not been clipped in many years and has lots of free time outside his cage. Also be careful what you wish for! Flighted birds demand a whole new level of vigilance.
No bird is ever taught to fly. It is instinctual
A B
Sure, and when they have full feathers they can do it. But a clipped bird will try to fly, fall and get hurt, and then be scared to try again because the last time they just fell.
Great job setting up the aviary! I enjoyed the tour & Smokey looks happy - & cute as usual. Go to a good nursery like Summer Winds (or whatever) & ask for help in picking out year round plants for medium outdoor light.
Thanks for the tip!
