Is this mix OK

[Paul]

I'm new to aviaries and parrots etc. We are putting in an aviary tomorrow it measures 3.8 metres long by 1.9 metres wide and is 1.9 high. It comprises two flights which are separate from each other.

Here's what I want to do. Place a breeding pair of IRNs in one of the flights and in the other I would love to have say, two more non breeding IRNs ( I guess they must have to be both same sex ... plus one Barraband, one cockateil and a couple of ground birds such as quail.

Would a mix like this work ?
Am I asking too much of this aviary ? I want to offer the best for my birds.

Thanks.

Make the IRN breeding flight section about 1 meter wide. So the ending
dimensions would be 1mx1.9mx1.9m. Double-wire the barrier fencing between the main flight to prevent toes from being bitten off.

Mixing IRNs with any other bird is always risky. But you may find some IRNs who has the personality to mix with other hookbills of their size.

I would put another wire barrier between the bottom-dwelling quails from the hookbills.
