Our Tiel "Wing"!
We needed to expand and the cockatiels got new digs, a brand new room
added on complete with separate air handling system, climate controlled,
filtered air, and blanketed in full-room, full-spectrum lighting, Oh,
and brand-new
HQ flights replaced the SafeGuard flights.
| It was a couple years in the design. The new room is
roughed in in less than a day! Dedicated electrical circuits are run
in using surface mounted conduit (to allow for EXTRA insulation in
the walls for soundproofing). |

| Fun new toys for all - a high powered sprayer would
make quick work of priming and painting with walls (if the
directions were properly read, first). Weeks later and there are
still paint stains on skin. |

| Priming of the walls complete, there is pause to
reflect on a job so-far, well done! |

| That puts a little color on the subject. We picked a
high quality semi-gloss paint for durability and easy clean up.
(notice the significant change in apparel from the priming incident
(fiasco). |

| One of the many new
HQ flights. While smaller than
the SafeGuard flights, it allows for more room since fewer tiels
will be kept per flight in these (plenty of toys, perches, foods,
and other accoutrements make them a fun place to be). |

| A couple of the new flights with their new occupants
happily moved in. Each cage is outfitted with the same basic layout.
It makes it easy on the caregivers moving from cage to cage. |

| Colorful material lines the backs of the flights
which helps with cleaning. |

| One of the breeding stations set up with several
pairs getting their houses in order. The radio plays appropriate
mood music (a la Jimmy Buffett - what else?). |
