birds!

There's been a lot of bird related action and activities around here lately!
Firstly our friends were the lucky caregivers of a teeny bird who fell out of her nest. When they came for a visit, so did the birdie, who needed feeding every couple of hours.


Family project #3,462
Expand our chicken run
Our ladies have done a fine job creating all sorts of erosion on their hillside enclosure. There is not one speck of green there and they have made holes and dips.... and they just needed more space!
1st day:
GB, Karen, Noam and Luka are the primary workers. Ra'am is sick this day.
We're lucky.... in a work trade, David has set most of the poles for the fencing in the ground. He's also (with Ra'am's help) dug a trench on the gulch side so we can bury the fence.

Here's were getting ready

Noam tied fence to the T posts. There are a lot of T posts

There's a gate down there at the bottom. GB is on his way back up after helping Noam a bit.

Pau Hana! It's HOT, we're tired and the pool is calling!Expanded run.... more fencing still needed on the bottom (we needed MORE), but this part is done for now. You can see the brown part on the top (old area). The new part is the green to the left and below.

Luka helped for awhile, and then explored what it feels like to drown out sound.

Shortly thereafter, Ra'am found this baby bird under the big mango tree. He's a cardinal who must have fallen out when he tried to fly. The nest is impossibly high, so we cared for him for a couple of hours and then passed him on to the Pelkeys to rear.
