New Aviary coming on line in Pacifica
Hello! For the past three weekends I have been preparing my yard for a new larger aviary in my yard to help foster rescued Pigeons. I currently have three pet Pigeons, two I personally found in Pacifica called Dovee and Jan and Mandee a homing pigeon I was fostering that I adopted. I also am fostering Teddy (King) / Chase (Blind Racer) and two Homers who fell in love in my office called Miles and Macy. My current Aviary is a sturdy metal structure 6 feet high, 4 feet wide and 7 feet long. I can put 4 to 6 pigeons, 6 only if they are the right temper for my Two Strong Boys Dovee and Teddy. Mandee gets chased all over if I put her in the smaller aviary. This Aviary once my new on is built will be available to disassemble and move to a new home that can foster Doves. The cage is more suited for smaller birds really. So hint hint anyone who is thinking about adding a Dove Foster Aviary, MickaCoo has two, one already available! The first steps to getting ready was to move my existing Aviary and I went ahead and did a deep clean on that. The following weekend I have 5 friends over and we had a digging party and dug out 8 by 14 feet, 7 to nine inches deep. Elizabeth from MickaCoo came and the others were good friends Mike, Linda, Debbie and Denise (catered to us with food all day). I have been working on moving some plants and dirt around and we have made two trips for supplies (one or two more to go) and I have ordered the pea gravel. My Brother Tom (Carpender and Contractor) is doing the entire build out donating his labor whilst I am at work on Wednesday and Thursday. The weekend I will most likely be working at getting the pea gravel in, maybe paining the exterior walls and a trip to buy materials to install some perches. and shelves. The final wire and roof will be done as my brother has time from the weekend into the next week:) I hope to have an open house in the next month or so to see the aviary and meet all the pigeons.
