やっと小屋を作りました。米国の法律によると鷹狩免許をもらう前に小屋を作って,動物警察みたいな人は点検しにこなければいけない。秋まで鷹はいないけど免許をもらうには沢山の段階があるから今に内に始まらないと今年の猟期もミスしてしまう可能性がある!
Anyway, it's a weird mew in that it's HUGE for a kestrel but not big enough for a red-tail. Apparently the regs here require an 8x8x8 enclosure for a red-tail and at least a 4x4x4 enclosure for a kestrel so 4x4x4 it is:
法律によるとアメチョウの小屋は122cmX122cmX122cmほどの大きさじゃなきゃならないのでそれほど大きく作りました。何かアメチョウにとって大きすぎるような気がするけど…
Closed: 閉じると:
Open: 開けると:
As you can see, it doesn't leave much room on the deck! But since the water heater is out there and it will need to be moved around a little just so that we can get to things I added wheels to the bottom:
見えるように日本と同じようにスペースはあんまりない!しかし何かあったらちょっとでも動けるようにウェールを付けました。
Hopefully I'll have it inspected within the next couple weeks so that my licence can get sent on to the Feds. It won't have an occupant until the fall so until then I guess this will have to do!次の段階に進めるように近い内に点検しに来て欲しいです。秋まで鷹がないのでそれまでにこれ:

I hope its not a huge disappointment to see that I am commenting rather than some other falconer...
But, I think its totally cool what you do! Do you remember my friend Jen McQuarrie? She & her husband have Ger falcons and are raising owls and a Gos Hawk or two. They also have two kinds of hawks that are endangered, but because he has his breeding certifications, they are allowed to house them. Anyway, its fun to talk to her about you and your birdy-world.
Love the mew...Love Eli! He looks SO OLD!
A cage for children! I wish I had thought of that when my kids were younger :) And if the neighbors ask, it's "for the kestrel ... just waiting for the license."
Nice cover story! Hats off, LOL.
