Set up and look after the NOTA MEDIUM aviary: where to place it, how to use the removable trays and swivel feeders, and a daily routine that prevents escapes.
Start with the aviary's built-in advantages
The NOTA MEDIUM is designed for canaries, parakeets and exotic birds, and its metal mesh structure and metal roof treated with protective paint make it suitable for outdoor use. Plastic columns in the corners add solidity, and the wheels supplied let you move the aviary even though it is large.
Those features shape your care routine: because it can go outside, placement and weather protection matter; because it moves, you can reposition it for cleaning or shade; and because the bottom has removable dirt-collecting trays, daily maintenance is quicker than a fixed-base cage.
Choosing where to put the aviary
- Outdoor placement: The metal roof and mesh make the NOTA MEDIUM suitable for outdoors. Pick a level spot where the wheels can sit securely, and check that the roof can shed rain without pooling.
- Indoor placement: If you keep the aviary indoors, the same wheels help you move it away from walls for cleaning. Leave enough clearance to open the doors and turn the swivel feeders.
- Access to feeders and doors: The Brava 6 swivel feeders turn 180° so you can fill them from outside without opening the cage. Position the aviary so you can reach every feeder comfortably.
- Stability on wheels: The wheels are for moving, not for locking the aviary in place. On uneven ground, check that the cage does not rock before you leave birds inside.
Daily routine: feeders, water and a quick check
The supplied accessories include perches, a plastic drinker and the Brava 6 swivel feeders. Because the feeders rotate 180° and fill from outside, you can top up food without creating an opening through which a bird could escape.
Make a short daily pass: check food and water levels, look at the drinker and perches for obvious soiling, and confirm that the door locking hooks are engaged. The locking hooks are specifically designed to prevent accidental escapes, so treat them as part of every close-up routine.
How to clean the NOTA MEDIUM without stressing your birds
- Move the aviary if needed: Use the supplied wheels to pull the aviary away from the wall or edge so you can reach the bottom trays.
- Slide out the dirt-collecting trays: The plastic bottom has removable trays. Take them out one at a time and empty them.
- Detach the bottom for a deeper clean: If necessary, the bottom can be completely detached for more thorough cleaning. Reassemble it securely before returning birds.
- Clean feeders and drinker from outside: The swivel feeders can be turned and filled without opening the cage. Use that same outside access for routine feeder cleaning, and check the drinker at the same time.
- Re-check door hooks: After any cleaning that involves the doors, confirm the locking hooks are closed before you walk away.
What the NOTA MEDIUM gives you for daily care
- NOTA MEDIUM: Removable dirt-collecting trays in a plastic bottom; the bottom can be fully detached for thorough cleaning. Tray removal makes daily cleaning quick, while full detachment lets you do a deeper clean when needed.

- NOTA MEDIUM: Doors have special locking hooks designed to prevent accidental escapes. Make hook checks part of every close-up so a door is never left unsecured.
- NOTA MEDIUM: Metal mesh and a metal roof treated with protective paint make the aviary suitable for outdoors. Outdoor placement is supported, but you still need a level, stable spot for the wheels.
What the supplied information does not cover
The supplied records do not include species-specific diet, feeding amounts, or a cleaning frequency. Those details depend on your birds and your setup, so follow your avian vet's guidance rather than a generic schedule.
The records also do not confirm a maximum number of birds or a recommended outdoor temperature range. Use the aviary's intended species list (canaries, parakeets and exotic birds) as your starting point, and introduce birds gradually while you observe how they use the space.
