About Me

By 2006, I had spent over 25 years in the trades working construction & handiwork, theatrical productions, cabinetry, custom furniture, and building mechanics. My attention and skills turned to  companion birds when a critically ill lovebird found its way into my stewardship.  Under excellent avian veterinary care Orlando, as she  became known, survived. For a strong recovery and continued good health,  the veterinary directive was outdoor time! 

I immediately got myself to work. Materials, resources, and design proved more challenging than I had expected. Still, with guidance from avian vets & behaviorists, and experienced  avian caretakers, the backyard aviary was, at last, completed. And with it, a new career had begun. My avian care mentors began sending aviary clients to me.
