I know ive been looking and looking!
Still need enclosure sizes.

It would depend on how much space you've got? Bigger the better i would of thought. My sister had a barn owl years ago (she was mine to start off with but she didn't like me) and we had an aviary in the garden i'll ask and see if she can mind what size it was as an idea?

I've just had look through some other posts on the bird forum i gave link to and it says in there that if given a reasonable aviary 9ft long x 6ft x 4ft wide a pair of magpies would probably breed quite readily, another post says for a pair of corvids 12ft x 6ft but you could get away with slightly smaller as long as one or both ends are covered so they have shelter from the rain, smallest aviary size for breeding pair of ravens 12 ftx 8ft x 8ft, for a single bird minimum aviary size of 8ft x 5ft x 6ft high but 12ft x 5ft x 6ft is better to give them some flight length. Hope some of that helps? Just saw your question on it and if you read some of other posts on the corvid section there are a few posts about feeding, care and also where and who to ask on the bird forum for info.

erm you see crows and magpies evryday...they sh!t on yoour car, not like you see a Royal evryday is it...?

Fair enough a parot or exotic bird, something that is attractive and none native to britian but a crow!!! I cannot understand how someone would WANT to keep a crow.

How can you compare a keeping crow to a keeping snake :L.

Agreed with what miranda replied to you. But it's also coz they are amazing birds and possibly because they aren't a parrot or a budgie?
