Bird Shed

A reader from the Midwest wrote:

I need a small outdoor shed that can be heated in winter, and cooled in summer to house my birds. I breed cockatiels. I'd like plans for one that I can build myself. I live in the Midwest. We get very cold winters, snow and ice. The roof soffits would probably need to be vented to prevent ice dams along the eaves. I'd like to be able to add an outdoor area/aviary space. Not large, but a small space where they could enjoy the warmer weather, and have a small flight area. That area would need to be cat, critter proof..open sides..(some sort of metal cage-like) with a roof over it in case it's rains, or is too sunny and hot.

I want windows (to put a small AC in)and for natural sunlight and fresh air.

I live in town so it can't be so big that it would require a permit.

I have stackable cages on stands. 4 of them. I'd like to put 2 against each side wall, with space to walk between and some space at the back for shelves.

We've had requests for chicken coop plans before, but this is the first aivery!
