Dustin's Mew

[Avatar of Shibby]

Alright I've thrown together a lil slide show of my mew, you can see it here s54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/dust2200/Mew/?action=view¤t=1162178825.pbw

Just need to put some cauk up, paint it, and finish shingling it and I'll be good to go!

cool looking. are you going to just fly a kestral though? i dont see how that could be big enough for a redtail. i like the tall window, fun shape

[jfneumann57]

It's a neat design for sure but I agree w/ Rage it looks small that wouldn't pass inspection in nc. The mimimum her is 8X8. I still need to get picks of mine up it looks like crap compared your guys'. lol

It might just look small... It's hard to tell without a human comparison in there.

[HawkingRage]

thats true but look at the door compaired to the building. even if that door is a 3-0 then that building cant be more than 5 -6 feet wide at its widest.

It's 8' from point to point on the inside, no joke. The front entrance chamber is only 4' wide, but it's just the entrance chamber. It will pass inspection, it's the exact same mew my sponcer used, his passed.

[jfneumann57]

requirements change after ur apprenticeship

[HawkingRage]

do you have more pics , maybe some with a person for scale. id be interested in seeing that. an entry chamber is something i should have made. my bird has never tried to get out but i knock on wood all the time.

The regs only require 32 square feet. Get over it guys. ET

[jfneumann57]

depends on the state

[WildEd]

Dustin lives in Texas. It is 32 square feet minimum and his is over that. It doesn't matter what other states do to him. I know hawks that live in a 10x10 but are teathered all the time. If he flys 3-5 days a week it is fine. Again, GET OVER IT AND WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN.

Why do you even need a person in a picture? There is a fence really close in one picture along with a cinder block in another. We all know about what size those are. Besides that the ratio of the door to building as mentioned previously. I think it looks very nice now just to add some flower boxes

[HawkingRage]

hey now. i wasnt trying to start anything, just curious. i had no idea that texas only required 32 square feet. that along with that i wasnt talking trash, i complimented him on his work, just asking. beyond that ill back off and worry about my own.

If you are referring to my comment I didn't mean it in any harshness or with attitude. When I read it, I read a simple question with a few things that are there already. I apologize if that was misconstrued as bit snappy though. That wasn't the intention.

Actually... working at lowes, i know for a fact... cinder blocks come in a lot of different sizes, and i didn't notice a fence. And it's hard to tell still either way.

And I still like the mews, it's unusual.
