flight

Hey guys so my birds have been in a “temporary” aviary for the last 3.5 years! This aviary is a 6X4 shed with an angled mesh in front of the main door and a window. This wasn’t supposed to be their home for this amount of time! But finally after being in our new home just over a year the aviary...
