    Look what I caught (actually he caught himself)

    This is the same owl that I saw close by the chicken and guineas and feather all around from an attack. Next morning one severed section of a pearl guinea found with more larger feathers. I am alert to closing in the chickens and no loss there so far.

    I love to see folks creatively use materials available for their needs. This works just fine and it really saves you money and another tree. Your birds will have plenty of room and enjoy it. Congratulations.
