**This is our old flight, which was up in October of 2002 for our parrots to enjoy some fresh air and freedom to fly about and do just about whatever they like. The flight is 10'w x 20'l x 9'h. The frame is a powder coated steel, Costco Carport, which we wrapped in 12.5 gauge wire. Approximately 1/4 of the roof is covered to shelter them from direct sun & rain, if they choose the protection. The birds will be out only during the day when we are home and only days that are not overly warm or cold. Here are some pictures from start to finish. We still have more live plants/trees to place inside in addition to some toys and more perches/branches. If you would like to read the "step by step" instructions of how to construct a flight like this, read the article I wrote, which was published in the Summer edition of the Holisitic Bird newsletter .
