Room to Extend Whatever you choose to build as a birdroom, the one essential in my view, is to allow space for extending. It is absolutely certain that no matter what you start with, it will turn out to be too small either sooner or later. If your domestic circumstances make a house move likely then you should choose a wooden construction as this will be portable. If you are sure of staying in one place then brick is an option. This year I upped the thermostat by 5 degrees.
Birds use more energy in winter to keep warm.
They expend energy feeding chicks and laying eggs. Remember if you feel uncomfortable so maybe do your birds. We have twenty-six breeding cages which are fairly typical, being 24 inches by 18 inches by 15 inches. They are made from melamine which is extremely easy to clean. You simply wipe it clean.
