This new 5×8 aviary makes our… 9th Cages by Design cage we own, I believe? I’m starting to lose count, that’s for sure! We recently got this cage mainly for our smaller parrots; the cockatoos and grey. The bar spacing is more ideal and we love the look of the powder coating too. It’s just a classier looking cage which is a huge thing I love about CBD’s cages.

We are actually traveling with this aviary and setting it up and tearing it down at every location which for us, is weekly.

We found that we can keep the shorter sides of the aviary kept together during travel, making it faster to set up at every location. I also bought medium sized bird toys for it to leave more space for the birds to play, and to add less weight on the cage itself when the items are hung.

Although it was meant for the smaller birds, we keep the macaws in there sometimes too. And though it’s a bit tight for all 4 and 2 is a lot more preferable, they got along fine in there and seem to be able to make it work! The key is that they all get along ;)

Here is our military macaw enjoying his swing inside this 5×8 aviary…

So if you’re looking for an aviary to travel with and have the space for this one, it works well for traveling. We literally just leave two sides together, as well as the door on and it takes about 20 minutes for 2-3 people to set up. We use a ladder to get the roof on and wah-lah!

To order your cage from Cages by Design, check out their website or request a free catalog.

This looks great. I would like to have an outside aviary for my parrots to spend sometime in the fresh air and sunshine. But I would like something I could put up and take down when needed.
Do you think this is a good option for a backyard ?
Thanks,
Robin

Hi Robin, I sure think it is a good option for you. If you can find ways to store the sides together, it will make it a lot faster of a process. So as long as you have the space to store it like that, I think it would be a fast option for you and a very safe option as well!

These cages are so beautiful. I am also a fan of Cages by Design, http://www.cagesbydesign.com, and their bird enclosures. Yes, their outdoor aviaries are perfect for a backyard setting. Since many of their aviaries are walk-in friendly, you can go in and interact with your birds. Plus, its so rewarding to see your birds happily flying about their huge bird cage. Another great thing about CBD’s products is that they are very easy to assemble and disassemble.
