Not a word about outdoor aviaries in this book!,
By Diana loves birds "Lovesbirds and Canaries" (Kailua, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
An aviary is more than a cage. I found this book very expensive for chapters that basically repeated the same info, with just a change of bird name etc. I was hoping for some plans to build an outdoor aviary, but this book is about mass producing cages of lower quality to house
hundreds of birds for breeding and profit.

Great guide for the do-it-yourselfers,
By Kathy Westmoreland (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
The entire book is clear, concise and very informative. It is BY FAR the best book that I've found on building an aviary and it's sooo easy to follow. The pictures and illustrations are top notch.

This is an exceptionally well put together book. Step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow with hundreds of photographs makes this book a recipe for success for the do it yourself person.

I'm not a professional reviewer or anything like that, I guess don't have the time or the desire to read a bunch of books, but this book helped me a lot. I'm also not a professional builder, but I remodeled an existing building that I had and built my own cages according to the plans in the book. We raise parakeets and our small business helps my wife and I supplement our social security.

Great Book-Very Detailed and Easy To Follow,
This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
Finally, a practical guide to building and equipping an aviary that is suitable for both large and small breeders. From planning to completion, this is a must-have book for the do-it-yourself person.

This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
This may be a good guide for people who raise chickens or pigeons. It's not helpful at all for folks wanting an outdoor aviary for their exotic birds. The book does not stress safety or bird-safe materials.

Good "How To" Book,

This is a good book. It is not for the person who has never built anything though. Fortunately my roommate is a real handy dandy person and can decipher these how to books quite easily. I don't know what half the tools are. So if you plan to use it to build cages or an aviary, you better know something about building things to start with, or have a good friend who does.

this is a great book for those who want to start the bird business idea with the minimum coasts,it explains how to build all from scratches,the only thing taking against it is the black and white photoes used to explain how to make nest boxes and so ,but not really a big deal as long as explains all steps though building things.

This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
I thumbed through this at a book store and it is not worth 40 bucks. all the info in this book can be found on youtube and google for free.

This book will save you money,
This review is from: How to Build Your Own Aviary, Cages, Nestboxes, Etc. and $ave a Bundle: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)
This book is a valuable resource in that if you follow the authors suggestions it can keep you from making a lot of costly mistakes. While this book is geared towards someone who is in the business of breeding birds, it is full of practical advice that can be applied to someone who just wants to keep birds for enjoyment. I recommend it...
