A few weeks ago Henry came up with the bright idea to take his built-in desk space, (which is mostly unused since he has another desk) and turn it into an aviary for his parakeets, Josè and Daisy. He designed and built the whole thing himself, including the framing, chicken wire, and wooden tray, but also the 3D printed door and perch brackets. (I need to do a separate post on all the things he's designed with his printer.) Henry also added an Alexa controlled light that turns on and off at programmed times of the day. Ahh, kids these days. Always keeping their old parents in the loop, amirite? Anyway, D&J went from a smallish metal cage to this large, cool space, where they have lots of room to flap around and chirp at the top of their little bird lungs (you think I'm kidding about that haha). Very cool, Henry!

That is super cool!! I would have never thought that doing that. I'm sure Daisy and Jose are so happy with their new space. Our library has a 3D printer and I signed Olive up for a take home art class on weaving. It came with a printed loom. It's really neat all the things that you can make and do. All of which I know nothing about, but am super impressed that Henry does :)
