nothing to do with the gods Paul.
the old english judges/magistrates who thought they were punishing the great great grandparents actually did them a favour. what a great punishment/sentence, having to put up with blue skies for the rest of your natural life lol

They are incredible Fincher.. Wish I had the room to do the same.. I do plan to post pics of my small indoor aviary when I can finally get to building it.

This is for PoohBear.

Wow, those are nice setups. I built a small aviary but I can only have one pair of each species of finch and I want more of each kind. I would love an aviary I can walk in.
