Does this material provide for good insulation and is there an area for the birds to perch?

There is a perch that sits about 2" off the bottom. Not the best because it's not fastened to the bottom and tends to move around, but it is useful.As for insulation, I have not used it in winter months yet. Was great in the summer as birds stayed dry and safe. Hope this is helpful.

There is perch area inside. I puta small diameter branch thru the fence for them in the outer area also. It is definitely not insulated. Thinking of using a heat lamp in winter.

We live in Vermont. Temps go down to 0 degrees in winter. This is not well insulated and I would not recommend using in temps below 30 degrees F. Also, as it is plastic-like material, I would not recommend putting a warming light in it. We used this in warm weather for some new (4 week old) chicks. Perch was not useful. Only 3 inches high. Once you put pine shavings in the bottom, perch got lost. Overall, not a useful hen house to use as a primary. It worked fine for getting new chicks ready to join flock though.

We have not yet gone through a winter with the coop, but our chickens have done well with cool rainy weather. The coop comes with a roost, but it sucks. We had to make our own.

It doesn't have a perch, but u could put a upside down shoe box in there. Its a bit smaller than I realized. The nest area lid folds open for nice access. I use pine chips or straw for bedding. I just recently put it in the barn to keep the 6 young bantams warm. Nights r getting too cold. Good luck

The coop is built well but the perch inside is not high enough. The wood shavings will cover it. It also doesn't lock up securely. I have it inside a 10 x 10 dog kennel. Surrounded by electric wire. So far so good, no predators.

My 2 Zebra finch easily fit with nesting material. Plus, since they cuddle, there is room for more birds...

I guessing that if they can't sit or roost that they would find it difficult to build a nest, but I don't really know. My experience is that this stuff kept the birds away.

It seems to be woking for me. I have a wooden glider and the birds would sit on the top and their droppings would cover the top and fall through to the seats. I hung one owl from the canopy. It swings in the breeze and the colors are quite reflective as it does. It works pretty good.

I would say not. I had finches in it but the wire is thin and the perches too tiny for anything more than a cockatiel.

Yes, it has plenty of room for my two parakeets. Two finches will definitely have enough room.

I'm not sure what protective coating you could put on it that wouldn't harm the birds. I'm not worrying about the paint peeling, though. I've had it out in mid 90-degree weather and it looks fine. I plan on bringing mine into the garage in the winter and that should protect the coating on it and keep it from bubbling due to ice, etc.

The roof on the window bird feeder protects the seed from rain and snow. The openness of the acrylic bird feeder makes the birds much more likely to stay and feed because they can fly away if scared by a predator from both the front and sides.

This heater definitely keeps my small birdbath from freezing. It doesn't heat the water up very warm but just enough to not freeze. My birds love it and don't mind drinking the cold water. I live in northern Utah, near the Air Force Base. I keep my bird bath on my deck in the winter. That way I don't have to run really long extension cords, just one to the outlet on the side of my house at the deck. Plus, I get to watch the birds up close. It makes it easier to step out on the deck and fill the birdbath with water.

Yes, I really like this feeder, we have had some high winds this winter and it has kept the food in it. I also put a hood over the top to keep the food dryer the birds all seem to like it!

The roof on the window bird feeder protects it from the elements. I keep mine up all year round regardless of snow or rain.

No, I have to very small finches in it and they like it. Lots of room for them to fly around.

Depending on the size of you conures, there is plenty of room for exercise. Not free flying like in an aviery, but room to spread wings and stretch out. I don't know the exact thickness but it's very sturdy. The bars are set close so that the smaller parrots don't get hurt. It's a good quality cage. We're very happy with it. We have a cockatiel in ours and he only uses the upper hall of the cage. I hope this is useful to you.

Not a month went by when we had blue birds and babies and when they left we had another set come in. The ventilation is fine a slender opening under the top. We really think it is a good birdhouse. We stained it and let it air out before we placed it in our backyard.

It has a pretty wide topper on it to keep out rain and snow. We just got ours recently and that has not been an issue yet. The mesh on the sides is small enough that I think it would be difficult for jays or grackles to get their beak in there. We had trouble with crows and another feeder but have not had any issues with this one so far.

I have never had a Conure but I am certain this would be fine. The perches are quite long and plentiful you get 4 feed trays and there are many doors two are very large 4 are fairly small but enough for your hands to install/remove toys etc. I roll mine around to keep my bird with me at times.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.
