The Birdroom

The "Clun Stud" are housed in one bird room measuring 15' x 6' which has an apex roof which is 8' to the center. This birdroom has 52 individual boxes which are 12" x 12". All boxes can be opened fully at the front for easy cleaning and can be made into three and fours if necessary. Each box has a seed and grit tray and individual drinkers. The floor is tiled so that it can be kept clean at all times. All excess seed is collected with a vacuum cleaner as cleanliness is the order of the day. The bottom row is kept for storage purposes, whilst a 4" ventilation gap runs the full length of the back wall allowing for a constant flow of clean air. The front of this birdroom has two louvered panels measuring 3' x 2' 6" wire panels that can be adjusted to allow for the correct temperature. The entrance to this birdroom has one sliding door and one fixed (this has a 3' x 2' 6" panel which can be adjusted with a sliding door). Two ionisers are fitted to control any dust, lighting is by means of one 8' fluorescent tube and two 40 watt bulbs that can be controlled with a thirty minute light dimmer control. The birds have a layer of gold chip under them at all times, having tried sawdust and shavings etc, to me the use of gold chip is the ultimate for the comfort of the birds.
