This picture shows the input just over the sink with a filter then the regulator. The system goes two ways, the valve on the left is for the breeding cages and the valve on the right is for the flights.

Breeding Cages.

Note the stand-off holding the tubing off the top of the cage so the birds can't chew the tubing.
