Photos! My outdoor aviary construction!

Post by Jen » Fri May 15, 2015 8:55 pm

I started with a gazebo that "traveled" 225 miles to be the beginning of my outdoor aviary. Thanks to my brother, who loaded it on the back of a trailer and got it to me, was the beginning of my "outdoor addiction". From there I added an extension from the entry door of the aviary....then from there the addition of 16' free flight. I will try to continue adding photos so you can see where I'm at today.

First it was the gazebo, that my awesome brother put on the back of a trailer and "relocated" it 220 mile west to Texas! Then I added on the "flight"....thinking this would be great! So much "room" for all my guys to fly free!
