Periodically, the work on the mews for our Draper Museum Raptor Experience would come to a stand still. While waiting for the electrical and plumbing to be installed, we started to focus on getting the enclosures for the birds exactly the way we wanted.
The windows were in—every bird has at least two windows, one to the outside, and they are fitted with PVC pipe—sorta like bars on a jail cell (I hate to compare their homes to a cell, but that’s the best way to describe them). This design allows for natural light and air flow for the birds and also lets them have a pretty unobstructed view while keeping them and their feathers safe from damage.
The next step is to paint the walls and begin installing their perches.
