Outdoor duck enclosure (with injured snapping turtle bitten goose)

House sparrow cage in the entryway of the duck/dove enclosures.


This is how we sift seed for birds that do not eat sunflower seeds...


Sifted so that sunflower seeds are not wasted.


Not sifted.


Begging house sparrow.


House sparrows can be overfed.  You have to watch their crop (buldge on side of neck) so that they do not get too much or too little food.



Some of the outside cages. From left to right: gulls, cooper's hawk, crows, great horned owls, swan, the second to last cage has three sections: blue jays/mourning doves, red bellied woodpeckers/robins, and a goshawk. The last cage is a turkey vulture.
