This flight environment is 15' high and currently houses 8 Blue and Gold Macaws. It faces southeast and its two rear walls provide protection from the colder winter winds and most inclement weather. It is partially covered and includes a shower connected to the sprinkler system. |
Hanging feeder platforms keep vermin away. Boxes catch shells and residue and pine logs were covered by 1"x 3" 10 gauge welded wire and painted black to eliminate glare. Nursery ground cloth was used to cover north and west walls to serve as a wind and rain break. |
Environments include natural plantings, feed stations under cover, and nestboxes. They have the northern side covered and shielded. Additional flight environments to the south of the large Macaw environment overlook the pond and waterfall and have their northern and western sides enclosed to provide maximum protection from the elements. |
