Completing the Bird Aviary

We have had a part completed bird aviary for some time. All the bits (more or less) but never quite got it done - busy or wet weekends don't help.

One of Hannah's teachers has doves which have had babies. She has been talking to the class about the babies and Hannah told her we had an aviary with no birds in it. Tracy offered us her two baby doves.

So today was the day to complete the aviary. Paul came to visit and ended up staying most of the day helping.

Derek and Paul put the plastic cladding on the sides and roof, attached the second door, hung branches for perches, and a clip on the inside of the door.

A trip to the pet shop for seed, seed bowl and water bowl, but they had no budgies for sale.

Barbara checked on the progress every now and then.

Hannah decided that she had to make some things for the birds with wood nails and rope. It was a very serious business.
