Feathers and Fur

Of the many skills that running your own business entails I never envisaged that DIY would be one of them! In the past 8 months I have honed a much learnt saying ‘measure twice, cut once’ and turned my hand to a number of wooden structures including a table, a weathering, fencing, landing posts, aviaries, and today’s project portable perches for our up and coming show season! I am very proud of them hence today’s blog with pictures!

Portable Perch

If you want to come along and witness first hand these amazing perches in action (and support us) we’ll be at Winnersh Village Show this coming Saturday and we are centre stage!!! Very excited! Willow, Billie and Acer will all be making an appearance along with Ash in his box if I can keep him there! Currently Ash is sitting watching out the living room window but I have no doubt that in about 3 minuets he will be causing havoc and trying to fly to the top of the curtain pole!

Winstone is coming along great and has started to cotton onto the fact that his wings help him fly!! Jade has been teaching him in our flying field and although still nervous of everything that’s not human Winstone will soon be joining the team.

Our sad news is that Tilia will be leaving the team for a short while. Her traumatic fox attack as a chick has left her with a very nervous disposition and although we have tried and she flies perfectly with one on one training she is still very nervous of the public. In order to help ’Chill’ her out and to allow her a chance to replace her damaged feathers she will be moving to a secluded site and just allowed to relax!

Well I am off to sew chicks out of beach towels and rescue Ash from the curtain pole !
