Inside Photos
*Looking Up from Inside* (before anything was hung)		*Looking Up with Plants & Feeders*
*Cement Parameter and Gravel Floor* (Washes down and drains well into our limestone/coral soil)		*Up Flightpath*
*Down Flightpath*		*Nests*
*Coconut Nests* We hung 6 of these not knowing if they'd be used or not. Cuban Melodious are nesting in this one, and some gouldians seem interested in others.		*Fountain Bath* The birds like bathing in the stream of this sea otter fountain, but it's a bit of a hassle to tilt over and refill each day. We'll probably get rid of it in favor of some type of smaller bath that can be accessed from the outside through a little door in the screen.
Bird & Orchid Photos
*Gouldian Normals* Gouldians just before going in.		*Molting & Juvenile Gouldians* All the gouldians were molting their first month or two in the aviary, very lethargic until their feathers grew back.
*Red Cheeked Cordon Bleus* The bird on the right went in a little sick, possibly due to his age and being double dosed with scatt, but perked up after a day or two.		*Gouldian Cuban & Zosterops* The flighty little Zosterops was the first to explore all areas of the aviary.
*Canaries* Half German roller half Belgium waterslager on the left, half roller half gloster on the right. The left one has chicks now, not sure how many or who's the father. (We lose control in an aviary.)		*Mix* From left to right: society/banglese, two gouldians (molting), male & female cuban melodious, european goldfinch.
*Another Mix* From left to right: European goldfinch, two gouldians, male Cuban melodious and a zosterops (white eye).		*Cubans and CBs* Female & male Cuban melodious and two female red-cheeked cordon bleus
*Female & Male Gouldians*		*Red-Cheeked Cordon Bleu & Societies/Bengalese*

? I don't know, ask my wife...		*Osama* This hermit crab wandered into the orchid area during construction. He's in the largest Florida Tree Snail shell I've seen, about 3". Like the other Osama, he's been hiding in a hole and we don't know if he's alive.
