Gosh, I didn't realise I've been watching your channel even longer than your 5-year project So it's true. Time flies when you're having fun. I've really enjoyed watching. 😉 😊❤

[@reeree6682]

Ditto!🎉

Time definitely flies 🥳

Same! Been watching since the OG WHOTH! Just before Bamboo and watching your family grow 🇬🇧✌️😊

[@Calaelan1986]

Been so many years and I remember showing it to my wife, she loved it too. She unfortunately passed away in February 2022 so she never saw it finished but am glad I did. Perhaps somewhere she's still keeping an eye out, haha. So happy its finally done!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Aww, I’m so sorry to hear that

[@Calaelan1986]

@@whitehouseonthehill Thank you, it took me almost 2,5 years before I managed to get back to work after her death but I started working again this year in June ^^ Life has been hard without her but she would want me to be happy again so that's what I'm trying to keep doing ^^

Maybe you can get a couple cold tolerant tortoises to live in the aviary and help mow, they can also have a little shelter with heat mats. ❤❤❤❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Good idea

[@jlexoticbirds4134]

No tortoise will be that cold tolerant, it would be unethical and also pose a health risk to the birds.

[@DouschebagsAnonymous]

Shouldn't the ducks mow the grass

[@PatriciaGoodwin-p1o]

Wow! 5 years already? That flew by quickly. I rejoice every time I see a new video from you guys. I really love your family and activities you all do working together on everything. Good job on finishing the aviary. I too am excited to see birds in it. It's a beautiful. I pray God bless your efforts and hard work. Your my favorite channel to watch on KZbin. Beautiful family and beautiful life. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@ihaveissues3758]

I’ve been watching your channel since you hatched out Bamboo, I was in middle school, and I am so excited for you guys to finally finish your project!! I bet you are so happy that the birds will be able to fly around and live happily without worrying about predators getting into their space. I also couldn’t help but notice Becky’s hand, I hope it’s not too serious/painful!

[@joycemaurer3588]

Can't believe I've been watching that long! I certainly remember all the trouble you had just getting the massive fencing! Can really see it in how much the kids have grown (and increased).

[@debsylvania]

It's amazing that five years have gone by, but here we are! You have worked so very hard and the aviary looks great! The gravel outlining the perimeter looks really nice, too! Gosh 60 tons of gravel! That's quite an accomplishment! Can't wait to see all of the birds enjoying that wonderful space!

[@VoMFilms]

Lol i love the only honest answer to are you having fun? was i dont know... 😂 the boys are gonna look at this project for years to come and feel pride in themselves knowing they helped build something so amazing

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Yes, I think everyone is proud of what we accomplished… he was just tired from scooping gravel 😂

[@VoMFilms]

Your beautiful children are a joy to watch. They have grown so much and are so mature. Their work ethic floors me. Farm kids are so tough! I love how you include all of the children in the work. They have a lot to be proud of and gain the pride of ownership in the farm. It is wonderful that you allow them to be children too.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you!

[@addieanderson2043]

I feel your pain on moving the gravel by hand. We built a large pond with water fall. At age 65 I moved by hand a truck load of gravel for around the pond and the area that was a river. ❤❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Oh man… that’s tough!

[@TheHasazin]

To save you from some future pain you really should pour a concrete footing under both gate doors on the aviary (I would recommend at least 3 feet deep and 2 feet wide with a packed stone base of at least another 1-2 feet) if not a straight up full pad gate to gate (the full pad should be at least 6 inches deep on a similar packed stone base). Things like that will stop even bears from digging into the aviary under the gates.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Too cold now. Freezing most days now. But we’ll do some concrete next year when we can get it in.

[@monikastuckey8737]

You all are so awesome and dedicated! Can’t wait to see the birds set “free” in the aviary. Wishing you all success with it and praying it stays predator free

Loved this video seeing your kids work so hard to help WOW looking forward to seeing the birds. From Liverpool UK

[@windhound2005]

my favourite peafowl mutation is by far the pied... i like the random individuality of their markings compared to the others which pretty much all look identical. (If u were to pair the pied to a white, u would get a 50/50 ratio of pieds to whites)

[@EndlessVioletSkies]

Wow this project is absolutely stunning! What a joy to watch it all come together over the last five years. If y’all are in need of some foliage control in there, maybe consider a pair (or more) of geese? They’d probably also serve well at scaring off any small critters like squirrels that try to get in.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Oh man... geese would do a number on that pond with the amount of poop they produce. Don't think it could handle the ducks and them together.

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Many years ago, my youngest brother laid out a nice area for a play yard at our parents. We used tar paper (didnt know about landscap fabric) inside the landscape timbers. I help roll it out & bro threw 6 tons river rock on area we put the swing/fort/slide. I started helping evening it out. The next weekend we got another load rock, then a 3rd load. The next week i had a pacemaker put in, so bro had to finish the last load . The grandkids were young, now all but 1 are in college (my grandkids live in different state), and we took down the playset. 16 years later & u can barely tell it ever was a playyard.
