My housemate and I plan on building some sort of structure
to house our birds in.  I have a grey cockatiel (Bonzo) which I've
had for about 3 1/2 years now. My housemate has a cockatiel (Ronnie)
and an African Gray Parrot (Dooley).  We've already determined that
all three birds get along fairly well. (The cockatiels get along
together especially well. They are male and female 8^)

I'm interested in hearing from anyone with experience in building
and maintaining some sort of aviary.  Actually I'm not sure if you'd 
call what we have in mind an "aviary".  We plan on just building some
sort of box frame covered with chicken wire (small holes).
Somehow we have to incorporate access to the bottom (for removal of cage
floor lining (aka newspaper)) as well as a removable top.

Any ideas? Suggestions? Anything?
