i am so sorry if you've seen this picture one million times. it just is perfectly suited to my new family here in lija. it all erupted from a drunken conversation one evening with the proud owner of two new finches, which ended up reproducing at an alarming rate. she was going to deliver them to a petstore, until we jumped in and said we would take them and because small cages are cruel, would build an aviary! it was a drunken idea taken beautifully, much too far. and so, me and sandy, and with the help of ed, built a mother freakin' aviary. and quite a fine one a that.

to celebrate our new home, and the birdie's, we had a lovely party last night which to be quite honest, am still feeling the sideeffects of. we decked out our new project in some glowsticks which helped the aviary quickly adapt the name of the 'ravery'.

last night we introduced our new roomies [two of which are now dubbed frankie and gertrudis] to their new home. only two of them were able to fly.
this morning i woke up to this scene.
jesus has now become a permanent fixture of the aviary. she happily..or maybe not so happily, sits and watches not two, but all four of the birds flap their tiny wings around and fly across the entire length of the aviary! its amazing how only after a few hours they have all learned to fly! with such zeal it seems! i also have to mention the amazing squeaking sound they make. its a really pleasant squeak that i can actually hear from my bedroom and makes me smile every time!
