I have an outside aviary that I use in the summer but only when I am right there to watch. We live in the country and I've got hawks really close to the house so there is NO WAY I'd leave the birds out to fend those big guys off.
Its a great addition but really for safety's sake, NEVER leave them out unattended!
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.
