Building Large Aviary from Scratch DIY for Quails and other Birds #quails

Subscribed and the video is really so good and inspiring. Recently we got some quails and hatching eggs at home too, and we made a video of it, far from good compared to yours and we are learning. Thank you so much.

Wood sitting directly on concrete creates major rot issues. To go through all the trouble of making a great shelter, you’d want it to last longer. It also doesn’t stop rats from digging under or nawing through the bottom wood. Looks nice for the short term though.

water is enemy of brick.

This is my goal. To raise quail in a large aviary.

Oh you should breed canaries and finches in here

This is great! I have never seen quail looks so calm with people around. The aviary turned out wonderful and I wish I could have something like that for myself! One day, I will have my own place and my own fowl.

You need to made a few nest for them to lay, unless you pick eggs daily.

You dont Have to Have high ceiling.

P.S. I would never have guessed it was good ol' Aussie land. Fraser Island Coast? Yes, you'd need protection from snakes, rats and 'Possums for sure.

I think it looks great. Compliment to your husband and son in the building of it. It needs to be copied!! I think the hay shelters need to be thicker to be better as insulation from the cold ... maybe also from the heat? A great little setup. Why plant the two trees together? Pawpaws plus another. How do you choose which ones ( the quails) to eat?

Unfortunately it will not keep rats out. Even two feet deep footing is not enough. I have two cats but they like to hunt birds too. It is conundrum.

Great video, which type of quail are those?

What a lovely aviary. I tried to raise quails for a while but they were too skittish. I do have one helpful tip though. They would always come when I called them for sesame seeds. They were the best treat for quails

I love this such a natural setting. If anyone has a smaller space I recently posted a video about a small cage I built for confined spaces

First time viewer here. I'm so pleased to find another local channel. Can't wait to watch more of your video backlog.
I lo e how friendly ypur quails are. Bei g notoriously jumpy birds it shows how happy and safe they feel.

That’s a nice big cage. Do the quail reproduce on their own in the cage? And what is the purpose of the quail for you? Meat, eggs?

Luckiest quail I ever looked at! Like your style including use the birds like you do. Our quail killers with fur on it would smash your base with digging below in 10 minutes..😢 Like your living with nature and espcecially animals! God's Blessings from Northern Germany Ludwig

When I kept quail, I found that they always laid after 4pm. Do you find that? Also, will they breed naturally, in that aviary, or do you still have to incubate all the eggs??

Rats don’t dig underneath?

im jealous! ))

Great work. Nice. Thanks for the video.

They are very beautiful. How do you catch them when it's time for their "one bad day"?

Rats will still dig underneath I am afraid,,,,,,,,

Your aviary is really amazing! Are the quails getting broody in such a large enclosure?

Beautiful enclosure! I love to see the animals having a healthy, happy and dignified life before they meet they fate. I dream of raising animals for personal consumption but I don't think I'll be able to slaughter them and not have a nervous breakdown.
Can you share how do you conciliate with being loving animal people and being able to deal with all that? I really would love to have some chickens and / or quails but I need to be sure I'll be able to do all that is necessary.

Great video. Lots of ideas for us permaculture fanatics. Thanks so much

Where is this place

Really amazing i like it 😊

Nice place you've got there! It is free-ranging for quails.

This is a wonderful quail enclosure. Im wanting to do the same thing I love to see them happy in an environment that is more natural then just wire cages.

Thank you for sharing the process of building your quail aviary! I love that you put more nature in their aviary. I have a lilac bush, elderberry bush and lots of branches and hidey holes in my 6 ft by 6 ft quail aviary...can't seem to get any grass to grow sadly

Looks beautiful, fantastic job! If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering how much this cost you to make, I've been trying to decide whether to undertake a similar project!

Very nice, I like how large it is.

Thank you for sharing

Where do you get the wire in rolls like that? I can only get them in small rolls .

A very beautiful setup and will be building something of this kind. Thank you for the video. 🙂

get some bigger bird,wich kill snakes,as turkey,to guard other chiken,from reptiles

Well done!

Like

Wow it's nice size

Beautiful

Beautiful people make places beautiful 😊

Lovely! Thanks for some ideas

A good idea to give them healthy grass without they destroying it , make a frame,maybe 5or6 centimeters high than put the net you use to their house , put the seed under and it will grow up the hole, we used it to our chickens

This is so heartwarming to see! Most of the quail owners doesn't bother making them happy, but this is basically a paradise for them. They look as happy as they should be! Thank you for the inspiration!

All the quails they're dead without panel helpless in the rain

Without panel it will be dangerous!!! To hit to break a leg all these will happen if it comes Automn and Winter!!!!
From rain the answer

I really like the fruit tree idea, and those stumps are brilliant!!! I love the natural vibe! I just have one question, how is it for them at night? I know you live in AU, but I'm just wondering where they sleep, I imagine stumps are their favorite place, but if you had a harsh wind would they be happy? Thanks for the ideas!

Wonderful setup :) The birds seem very happy :)

Nice work and good project, however I got some questions, can I build something like that for 100 quails, does it make business sense? Imagine that my plan is to raise a million quails, can I build something like that?
