turkey palace

somehow they still manage to look small

The turkeys recently have decided that they would like to fly. This didn't work very well in their previous kitchen-coop, as there was no top. I pinned a tea towel over most of the top, but had to leave room for the heat lamp. Freecycle to the rescue! A woman on the other side of woodinville wanted to get rid of an indoor dog kennel size large. It is the perfect size for baby birds, and has the added bonus of a tray that slides out for cleaning. And most importantly, a roof.

They haven't discovered their new stick perch yet, but I think that is only a matter of time. Height is their favorite thing.

mail!

And no matter how nice email is, how informative and quick and effortless, there is something inescapably lovely about postal mail. When I saw the handwritten envelope in the pile of mail, I saved it to open last. What fun, to get something in the mail! Thank you Mom Mom!
