[@carlapierle8623]

Wow, that was a LOT of work getting the pigeon palace wrapped! Great job protecting the birds from the elements! I'm so glad your garden seems to be okay!

[@cathy_p637]

Jason I don't think you give yourself enough credit for thinking on your feet. You always seem to come up with a workable answer, on the fly. So glad the garden is looking godd because you all worked so HARD to get it in. Stay warm!

[@patriot-lady1804]

I was gonna say with a mama like Mary Carl they will surely make it. But, I see with a grandpa like Jason they sure nuff gonna survive. Great job Jason ❤️

[@maxinemadero9665]

The things Daddy's do for their babies. What a great job. Thank you for the smiles.

Great video! Jason, you are such a hard worker and take great care of all the animals. I was most impressed with the effort you put into keeping the birds warm in the aviary! Glad your garden is doing well! 😍

[@tammyscreations9366]

Try roll back tarp on the top of the aviary. Can you put plastic over it the garden plants.

[@mariannwarner3774]

I’m SO glad that your garden is ok. After all that hard work you guys deserve a good harvest!!

[@DebLec]

Love the way you take care of the animals! Have a good day!

[@carolcalf2032]

The amount of care and love you give to your animals is amazing Jason. By the way where does Nugget go for warmth?

[@littleredhen]

As they say necessity is a mother of invention. You're doing a great job keeping your birds nice and warm Jason 😊 Growing up in West Virginia we always put plastic on our Windows every winter to help keep our house warm. So, I understand what you're going through putting plastic on the aviary.

[@sheiladecker9802]

I love y'all and it surely shows how very much you love your animals! Every animal there gets the utmost care and it's a beautiful thing!!

[@kathipetersen2277]

I had canaries in one aviary and cockatiels in another. You are on the right track! It was amazing how warm they remained even through the snowy months! Where are your helpers?

[@amyhoots3168]

Good afternoon Cog Hill and all of the Cog Squad. It’s cold in Alabama. So glad that the pidgins and Tiny Tim and family are nice and warm and that the garden is good. A lot of work to keep everybody safe and warm. Y’all take care.

[@saraanderson6615]

I just love when you guys talk to all your animals ❤ you can tell how much you, Brooke and Mary Carl all love the animals that you have. ❤️

[@MsBee-tr9ti]

Jason, you and Brooke are such good parents to all your farm family🥰🥰🥰

[@wordvendor1]

Maybe for permanent roof, get the corrugated translucent smoky gray roofing panels so the birds still get light, but still protects them.

[@overit6969]

The Crown pigeons will only take a bath in the rain. I forgot if that's the same with some of the other ones. A roof wouldn't allow that to happen.

[@lesare6509]

Good thinking & job on the aviary! Think the birds will be all cozy!! Hope all the animals stay warm & your temps dont get to low this winter, think you will have some great winter crop this year! Did NOT want the video to end, love Moody just wanted to see the feedings! 🤗❤🌱🙏

[@sheliabass3749]

My 93 year old Daddy always set up his sprinklers for our fall/winter gardens (which was never started in a hot house) and would spray the frost off of them before the sun hit them, because the sun on the frost is what would burn them. We live in Pensacola, Florida. And we enjoy watching y’all.

[@denisewilson8367]

That's what they do for all the citrus trees to keep them safe. Works everytime.

[@cassandramarrelli3363]

Alright! Love yall!

[@hannakinn]

When I lived in Maryland my sister and I had planted a big Spring and Summer garden on Saturday. I came home from a late nite at work on Monday and was listening to the 11pm TV news while getting ready for bed. Oh no, a surprise major frost warning. I called and woke my sister up, got dressed, gathered all the empty containers I had along with a big stack of newspapers and 2 flashlights. It was midnight by the time I got to my Sis's house. We covered every plant in the garden to protect them. My sister griped and complained the entire time, lol. We only lost half of one tomato plant while other people had to replant most of their entire gardens. I was happy an old timer had taught me how to make newspaper frost hats with the folded edge and how to put rocks or soil in the fold to hold them down, that saved a lot of the seedlings. We had a great garden that year. In that region it's not safe to plant before Mother's day and even after Mother's Day you have to be prepared for frost.

[@wendyloughery]

Sending my prayers to you guy's for taking care of the animals just for the love of them,you guys are so awesome

[@krystalspringer]

It is always so entertaining to watch southerns deal with cold.

[@mel49ers]

Love how you all talk to an love your animals pray the cold does not hurt your garden! We had a hard freeze here in Mo.last night!

[@MissMagic]

You can get bags/blankets to protect your garden from frost. They're pretty common here where we regularly get frost this time of year.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

All of your cold weather prep work paid off. All good news on the farm this morning. 👏👍👏

[@lenoresage6636]

Praying for you all , your garden, and the crown pigeons.

[@crystalnobody4689]

Do the aviary like your green house is. Staple the plastic to the top with a canvas strip. staple the bottom to a wooden pole for weight on the bottom and so it smoothly rolls out and use a canvas strip again on top of the plastic to discourage ripping. Then you can attach canvas strips along the sides to stiffen them and allow for tie backs or Velcro to be attached to close the gaps on the corners. That will keep the edges from ripping and allow the winterizing to be raised and lowered easily like an awning.

[@michelemunroe1422]

😊

[@cheriecronin7688]

Great idea 💡

[@corinnetravis6811]

Good morning. Jason and Brooke; MaryCarl. Cold is the enemy. 24 degrees yesterday and they turned my natural gas off, there goes the heat. My gas pipes are leaking, the man that cut the gas off assured me the temperature would get up to 39 soon. I loaded my bed with blankets, it was 5 pm. Just woke up, 3 am the Siberian Husky is in my bed. She never sleeps in my bed. I got up and flipped you tube on, and there you were. Prayers from Muskogee Oklahoma. Enjoy your videos, Long time Cog Squad member. Thank you for being here, even at 3 in the morning. Under the piles of blankets I go, I put a jacket, Morning, Arlo.😊

[@brendahogue5487]

Enjoy your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and the exotic birds

[@floridagal150]

I'm sure MaryCarl is so grateful and blessed that she has the coolest parents on this beautiful planet. The way you take such awesome care of your animals, making sure they are comfy cozy is just amazing.

[@alisonviscosi5518]

The Aviary looks comfy. Jason and Brooke, I am so pleased with the garden! I was very worried about it. I'm couldn't be happier when you took us to look at it Jason.

[@sandraboleski7006]

Love the way you love all your birds and animals.

[@nancyjohnston4661]

You could also get them a heat lamp. They are beautiful birds. You are doing a great job weatherizing.

[@cherricorcoran9523]

If it was my aviary, I’d put a fold-down bench in there so I could just sit and relax. The environment is so peaceful in there!

[@Wolfpug]

Everyone looks great after that cold spell. You did a great job of winterizing the aviary & keeping Tim & his family warm. Even the crops look ok. Great job, Jason!

[@cchap-222]

Jason the good Lord is looking out for you cuz he knows how much you love your garden and your animals. You are blessed

[@Handmadens]

Thank you for making your page about the farm and not about just you. I’m starting to leave the pages that do nothing but lives. Love watching you working in the garden and interacting with the animals.

[@marydanen5220]

I'm so glad the pigeons are ok. I was kind of worried about the garden though fingers crossed it makes it.❤

[@ClassicallyMish]

I’m so happy the garden is fine. Collards & kale are sweeter after a cold snap.

[@johniperez2975]

Hello, Jason; JP here from Texas: option 1: affix the plastic cover to the aviary by using a ¼” board at the link of the area. That way, you increase the tension area and reduce tears and not to mention it's easier to remove and put back. Option 2: As far as the bottom, use 1" to 2" PVC pipe filled with sand so it will not tear your cover... easy peasy... Option 3: You also can leave the cover on. Just cut half-moon holes. That way, your birds will get air and stay warm, and you won't have to remove anything...When it gets windy, use tape to close the half-moon openings. I hope this helped… Hook ‘Em

[@pamelastokes2964]

You did a super job on the aviary Jason! The pigeons will be snug as a bug in a rug. Glad to see that the garden is OK 👍.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

I'm glad you added the plastic to the lattice and screen door as well......I'm sure the difference is huge having all those areas covered in plastic! Good job Jason!!!

[@sarahjane2647]

i love how you take care of your animals, some people leave the animals standing in the freezing rain and snow with no shelter, it breaks my heart.

We also am affected by the cold snap. Trying to make it without turning on the gas heat as it to get back up to the 80's. Looks like the animals are doing ok and happy for the garden. Enjoyed the morning report.

[@oldstuffbethtx8052]

Those blue pigeons are so gorgeous. You are a great bird grandpa.

[@janielindsey3264]

Great job on Aviary and I'm so glad that the garden is ok .

[@crystalnobody4689]

for the top and the meddle use tin screws with canvas and Velcro along the ridge boards. The canvas keeps the plastic from ripping away from the nail's tacks or staples. Up here in Iowa we will use lath boards to nail plastic to encase our whole house and can last for years. But for you canvas will do so you can roll up the plastic as needed. I just thought of something you could use the 1- or 2-inch-wide cloth bandages used for packing wounds to make strips to staple the plastic under and attach Velcro on and it would be cheaper that buying canvas or maybe use a canvas like ribbon that might be even more inexpensive. But of you attach the plastic to the tin with tin screws and the sides with wood screw and then to a wood rod on the bottom or end and Velcro on the sides and center supports it will allow you to roll up and down the plastic as needed like an awning rolls up and down.

That drip irrigation is also helpful in protecting your new crop from frost damage. Glad you all came through so well...up here in Maine, frost is often a major setback for new gardens in the spring. But we just expect it here.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Crazy weather change. Fighting through heat and drought all summer, now near freezing, and then back to 80+ again. Difficult to protect the sensitive birds for that kind of change. Trust The Cog Hill family to come up with a plan👍🏻👏🏻
