Productive Saturday

Drove to Anaheim and went to JEDDS for the first time. Great store! Real earthy quality, great prices, friendly staff. Almost makes me wish I lived in Anaheim. Picked up some feed, grit, pick pot, jimbo trap, 7 bird training basket and meds.

Kenny and I installed the jimbo trap on the outside of the aviary. Works fantastic and the birds had no trouble. They are still not using the loft trap so we took out the old stall and built a ramp to the bobs. I'm going to try it out in the morning.

Since the birds aren't responding well to the feed can, I'm switching to a "shaker egg." Much quieter for the neighbors and they will have a new sound to associate with hand feeding. Small amounts of pellets were introduced with hand feeding and are readily eaten.

The aviary floor was reinforced with staples (was only being held by screws) and the white finishing board on top of the aviary was nailed into place.

We also started trimming the tree back and that seems to be going faster than anticipated.

Very productive day. Looking forward to more work tomorrow.
