Instructions
Remove any duck ponds or bird feeders. The Agriculture Department warns against having anything that may attract wild birds to your property. Place the aviary away from trees and long branches where wild birds may congregate.
Construct a roof over the top of the aviary. Ensure that food and water containers are covered. Unprotected aviaries are vulnerable to wild bird droppings that can spread disease.
Enclose the aviary with screen netting to keep wild birds and their feathers and dander away from pet birds. The Bird Channel advises bird keepers to place the netting at least four inches away from aviary cage to prevent birds from tearing it.
