The short answer is yes. But there are a lot of factors to consider before putting birds into an outdoor aviary. Primary is whether, in some areas it may get too cold during certain times of the year for Greys to live comfortably. He can potential he be a factor in some areas and sprinkler or misting systems may need to be incorporated into the aviary. Birds in outdoor aviary's are also more susceptible to the spread of disease from wild bird populations and insects. I recommend speaking to aviculturists or avian veterinarians local to you to get an idea of the challenges of housing birds outdoors near you. It can be a great situation for some birds and owners but requires some research and care to develop the right habitat. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
