We're BACK!

So, its Spring again, and time that I get back on schedule!
I've had a few emails asking what happened with my daily blogging, and the answer is...
LIFE!

During the school year I work 8 hour days in a classroom for children with moderate and severe disabilities. Then I work a second job driving the activity bus several days a week for the sports teams. With 12+ hour days, it is sometimes all I can do to get the birds fed, let alone work them a few days a week.

Things have changed here at Feathers Aloft. The white team is trained out well, and have done a few funerals, as well as several special events.
Most recent was during the Opening Ceremonies for the Bartow Little League Challenger League.
My daughter, who is an alumni of the Challenger League, was actually able to open one of the baskets at the end of the National Anthem.

And now, as well as training this year's babies for the white team, we have added black birds for "Over the Hill" parties. It will be fall before these little darlings are trained, but we keep working to provide more.

We've also started a racing team, with our first 15 dedicated racing birds.

All of these new birds also required a third building! The new building is 12 x 12, with 3 sections. We put the racers and the young white and black birds in there yesterday, and they LOVE having all that room.

Just a couple weeks until we'll start loft flying them, and then once school is out we'll be road training! Watch for updates and pictures!
