ZIP AND ZOOM ARE HERE!!! (Patreon)

I'm so excited to share that Zip and Zoom made it to me safe and sound! I'm also excited to show you the aviary progress we are making at our home regarding the 14' aviary whose roof came crashing down over last winter. We've been at a loss of how to go about fixing it as it bent a lot of the metal walls and we ended up tossing out the previous roof. The only quote I got for a replacement roof was a carport that came in at $9k for a galvanized metal one. I just could not do that so while doing an in home consultation in Florida, our clients offered a trade for their matching 14' aviary with a catch all. 

I couldn't pass up the offer so I had it shipped up here to us and our plans are to make a 30x18 area with the panels. We will still need a roof, and the latest idea is a lean-to roof so the snow goes off towards our trees and not the neighbor's fence or our shed. 

So Dave and I have begun work on it. If you would like to help with this project, please consider a donation via Project Parrots - or if it's in expertise please come on out and help! 

Our next plan of action is to figure out how to level the area (at least just the border and reset the pavers) and then after that, set up all the panels before winter. 

In other news - Zip and Zoom's vet appointment came in at a whopping $2,785. The good news is, they are free of any diseases or illnesses and because of Kim's amazing work with them - they're at healthy weights and on our recommended diet! We are so excited because this means flight training can begin. 

A proper day 1 video and update will be coming... I am so excited to share their journey with you and can't emphasize enough how important the proper diet is. I haven't received a project bird on the right diet before and this was a total game changer for me (so um, Kim, you're hired for all future project birds lol!) update to come - just a lot going on around here at the moment and wanted to get something out to you all. Thanks for your support! xo
