Hi all im Chris, and im from Irvine, west coast of Scotland.

I basically joined here, as i were looking for some advice.
You see im planning on building a large aviary in my garden, at the bottom of it.

The measurements for it will hopefully be as follows:
12ft wide X 12FT long X 6Ft high(as their are restrictions to the height of building u can build outside)
how i was planing on doing the layout is: 3ft storage space, and access to the back of the enclosure, 2ft for the birds wooden enclosure, to hide and rest and feed and then a rather spacious flight of 7 ft. of course it will all be 12 ft wide its just the length of the aviary will be split into 3 parts.

I was looking into putting my 2 wee rabbits at the bottom of the aviary so that way the rabbits would have a nice wee run for them to run around in outdoors. As i read on several different websites that it is possible to keep rabbits in an aviary.

I was just wanting you thoughts and suggestions on my idea, and im looking for advice of what sort of birds i can keep in this sized aviary i am planning on building.

i am also going to build a raised pond! in my garden, of which i was planning it to be 3 fT wide X 3ft Long X 2-3 ft deep.
I was going to build it with a nice wooden frame and was planning of building seats into the side of the pond.

its hard to explain it with out images but hopefully i can get some interesting responses on this

Thanks for reading and for any responses.
Chris
