Slide out trays for easy cleaning and less anxiety to animal
Draft free area
Daily sunlight
Even temperature

Indoor:
You control temperature
Often a room devoted to birds
Windows are wired
Door has a double passage way to prevent escape.
Outdoor
Most natural environment
Must have indoor shelter
Wind breaks (prevent drafts, helps block some noise
Normally all wired and mesh

27. Food: Pros and Cons Hand Fed: Fed by humans formula via large syringe.
