Animal Care Studies - Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Richmondbird species are to be displayed then the overall enclosure design may be slightlydifferent towards being more of a decorative design rather than being a conventionalaviary design i.e. rectangular.The type of enclosure that has proved to be the safest and most successful for housingbreeding pairs of P. swainsonii are medium to medium-large sheltered aviaries that aretotally enclosed except for the front, with solid walls and partitions, concrete floors andopening into a service corridor or some other protected area. Each enclosure can be fullyroofed or roofed only at each end to provide internal natural light. The number of birdsplanned to be housed in a specific enclosure should determine the enclosures size i.e.colony, mixed display.Rather than having separate enclosures it would be more appropriate to design andconstruct several enclosures together as a breeding complex, which are easier to serviceand maintain. Having enclosures as a block may also be better for public viewing and theprovision of interpretation. (refer Figure 13 and 14)To allow for more natural light and air flow to enter individual enclosures (aviaries), araised central perspex roof could be installed and reducing the internal partitions by athird or quarter of the length of each enclosure from the front would assist with thesematters. Reducing the length of internal partitions would also assist with public viewingfrom different angles across the front of the complex. (refer Figure 14.)Figure 13.

Alternatively a breeding complex could be designed to fit into the surroundingenvironment and provide more public viewing for individual enclosures. However, thisparticular design does give public access to a greater proportion of the enclosures.Keith Naylor 28/3/2005 Version 3 25
