Aviary ideas please

I used to have a window box with wire over the top and i grew chickweed in it,the birds could eat away at the chickweed without eating the whole plant . I also grew wild hops up the wire and that did grow faster than the birds did pecking at it,iv'e also grown nettles and docks and a few dandilions in grow bags,but found just picking it all wild and hoofing it in by the bucket load kept the birds occupied and fed what mother nature intended them to eat.I also had a bucket with wire over the top and had rotten fruit in it and it always made me laugh watching the birds chasing and catching the tiny feuit flies,the wire kept the birds out the mush...

Can't beat wild food for the birds. But me I've to be careful with the price of my birds. So buy the liquid form with milk thistle,  dandelion,  and a few more natural plants in.

Any hole a biro pen will fit in a mouse can squeeze through i was once told by a old bird man and after seeing what some of our bigger wildlife can fit into i'd say he wouldn't be far wrong to be honest and i did used to catch mice regular outside in my flights both wood and house mice...

One to me 0 to mouse. Big old female mouse this one. Been eating plenty of waste seed off the floor of birdroom. From the look of her she has young on too.
