The birds are flying. They've been released from 1 mile out in all four directions and two mile flights began today. They beat me home every time. I put together a short video of their first one-mile drop. We went over to the Afato's house and the kids (Afatos and Rollins) helped us launch the flock. If you have a slow connection, then let the video load by beginning it and then immediately pausing while it loads.
After working so hard, the birds play in the sprinklers and enjoy a refreshing bath.

The Backyard Makeover Continues
The weather was beautiful this weekend and we were finally able to entertain in the backyard. I released the birds from a basket in the front yard and they flew for a long time before landing. Having so many people in the backyard may have spooked them a bit and kept them from landing, so they got a lot of exercise.
Here are some pictures of the patio, plants, and pond.
