"equipment" web page.
The "birdroom" is an area that does not normally house
birds. Can be divided into two types
1.. The clean hygienic area, e.g. food preparation, food storage, small
equipment storage
2.. The bulky item storage area that does not need the same level of
hygiene. That does not mean the area is allowed to become dirty or
contaminated.
The "clean birdroom" area is usually
a room separated
from the aviaries, to
1.. Store the bird seed
2.. Prepare foods
3.. Cleaning area for food bowls, utensils, water bowls etc
4.. Food preparation equipment such as fridge, freezer, food warmers, microwave
oven, electric kettle for heating or boiling water etc.
5.. Stainless steel benches
6.. Cupboards for storage
7.. First aid items for birds and people
8.. May have a quarantine or sick bird area but this may cause contamination of
the whole room and jeopardize the health of all the birds.
8.. Store cleaning products
9.. May need a small air-conditioner/cooler unit for comfortable working
conditions in summer
