9. Gates

An important tip to keep in mind is that the gate should never be to much higher than your head. If the gate is low enough to force you to bend over on entering. This is extremely important in the case of small aviary housing. Because quick birds can fly past your head in a flash. The gate should not be so low that you have to bend almost half way just to go in the cage with a bucket of food. A gate with a spring witch closes the gate automatically, is also very handy and has prevented many birds in escape.
