Abstract
Aviaries and cages are the mechanical
means we use for containing and breeding
birds. From this standpoint, the first key
to breeding success is EFFICIENCY.
Every cage and every aviary should be
designed so that it can be serviced from
the outside.
Consider the time it takes to carry a
number of buckets into each aviary,
opening each door, checking feed, etc.
Compare this with pushing a cart down a
row filling hoppers and trays as you go.
Cages are even worse. You must open the
door, remove the dish, close the door,
fill the dish, open the door, put in the
dish and finally close the door. For each
dish!
