Re: Advice About Critter-Proof Grain Storage?
I like the Bridle Path feed bin as you can adequately clean under and around it.
Metal garbage cans have been the small storage of choice. I have seen large volume storage ( for sacks ) made of corrugated tin roofing on a wooden frame. Also the dead chest freezers

get a deep square upright utility sink on legs. Something you would have in your home basement
you can put buckets into for making mash. It can be a large volume tub for soaking soiled items and is handy if you ever need to do disinfection process like Clorox soaks of tools buckets etc

This bird is more likely to associate with other birds and night roost with them. Some parrots do use tree holes which, as a rule, are better insulated than birdhouses.
