Update!AKA Where have you been?!
« on: July 11, 2008, 05:20:15 PM »
 :D

Seriously... BKV hit my DA and I was really shocked to realize how long it's been since I was able to get by here. Hopefully it will change soon. My art is selling very well right now, so I'm looking into having my site professionally done. I don't have the time to learn it all.

I'm also in the middle of having solar panels installed.  Should be done Monday. And the last few months I've been building this:

I built it myself so it took a long time since I was kinda learning as I went. Took about 2 and half months during my days off. I did have help getting the door on and the roof lifted up. It's a walk in Aviary.
Total size is 10x10 ft and rises to 10ft high (roughly) in the center might actually be 11 at the peak. Next the gardens go in.

Anyway I hope to be back on my rounds here soon. :) I missed you guys!

Welcome back! Congrats on your art selling well!

Your aviary looks really nice. What kind of birds do you have?

Thanks Baka! I've even sold a few fan art posters... though I'm not pushing them as I'm not real sure it's legal. ;)

I have parakeets, Cockatiels, a love bird, finches and a congo African Gray. And here is my attack duck:

He actually does keep the stray cats out of the yard. Most think he's a goose because he's so big.. but he's just a duck. He's also a bit OCD.  ;D

Here is my love bird. I just call him Peaches. :)

Woooo, wasn't expecting you for another 3 - 4 days. Good job on the bird house. You used the construction as exercise/break from all your artwork¿ I know how busy work can keep people away, it did the same to me for about 2-3 weeks.
Anyways, nice to see your  A-Duck and "Shibata" [Peaches] ...........lulz

Wasn't Shibata a cockatiel?

Ducks are awesome. Guard ducks are even more awesome.

Do they get along pretty well when you put them all together in there?

Thanks guys. :)

The duck actually gets the run of the yard like he's a dog. He's really attached to people so he's not real mean to most. But he keeps the stray cats out of the yard and away from the smaller birds. He has turned out being a pretty cool pet.

Monday they finish the install on the solar panels too. Hopefully it will bring down our outrages cooling bill.  ::)

I remember the chapter was called "the Pink Cheeked Parakeet [Chapter 6 or 7]", and everyone else called it a Parakeet. Maybe I'm getting old >_>

RockAngel, what dimensions are you cells, how much were they, are you using current converters for appliances like the Air Conditioner¿
PM me the full details please, or paste it here if that's faster.
