Second stage of turning our front room into an aviary is complete

Well we're not really turning it into an aviary but it sometimes feels like it. With nine little feathery fiends flying about, it is sometimes easy to forget you're inside!

We have completed work on the second budgie window screen, so now we can open two windows in the front room in the hot weather to get some air-flow going. It was 25 degrees today so we have finished it just in time as I don't think the weather will be cold for quite a while now.

The budgies were intrigued with all of the noise we made, hammering away at staples into the wood and twanging the aviary wire. At one point I looked up to see nine feathery little faces peering down at me.

We were slightly short of wire mesh (at the right length), so had to be inventive and I weaved some together on a lower part of one of the windows, you can inspect my handywork below, no budgies is getting through that!
