Darrell Horst's Bird Room |
 |
|
Darrell is located in No. California.
This outdoor aviary is what Darrell calls his bird retirement home.
Canaries not used for breeding are placed here. It's currently empty.
An enclosure is at one end and double door entry at the opposite end.
It's double wired with 1/2" x 1/2" wire on the inside and
mosquito netting on the outside. Heavy plastic sheeting is placed on
most of the panels during the winter.

Darrell's wife Liza is a strong
supporter and helper in this hobby.

All of Darrell's breeding cages
are hand made. These pictured were purchased from Ella Galik. Her husband
made them as some of her first breeding cages. Water containers pictures
have been switched to the "Water Buddy" bottle recently.

Flight cages for the waterslagers.
Darrell plans to breed about 30 waterslagers from 4 males and 8 hens. Breeding cages pictured above are opposite these flight cages. This room is approimately 6' x 12'. It's a shared laundry / pantry / bird room. |

These 12 breeder cages have
slide out dividers that can be removed to provide 6 flight cages. The
fronts are made of fiberglass material. No, those are not green waterslagers...
These cages are currently used for Darrell's American Singer song canaries.
Darrell made these cages a couple of years ago with plans from Don Perez.
This room is approximately 14' x 14'.
