The Aviary

Orchid Tree Exotics is a M.A.P.(Model Aviculture Program)certified aviary located in Northwest Ohio. The current building was constructed in 1996. This building is a 30' x 40' insulated steel pole building with a shingled roof and concrete floor. It is heated by a forced air furnace and has a full kitchen area for food preparation. Parrots are housed in 3' x 6' x 6' suspended wire cages. Softbills are housed in flights that are either 3' or 5' wide by 10' long and 10' tall. The frames of these flights are painted 2" x 4" with nylon woven mesh covering.

Feeding Station

Western Grey Plantain Eater youngsters

Parrots are fed a mixture of seed, grain, nuts, pellets, eggfood, fresh fruits, and vegetables. A bean, pasta, and vegetable mix is added during breeding season.
Softbills are fed one of two different mixes, depending upon the species. Low-iron softbill pellets are the foundation of both these mixes. Fresh fruits and vegetables are added to the mix for insectivores and herbivores. Soaked-dry dog food and beef heart are added to the mix for omnivores. Mice and mealworms are added to the diets of some species.
