Spooky sounds are to be expected when your job involves a lot of wandering about the dark.

When the school empties out, silence can be almost deafening. Every squeak and creak are magnified a hundredfold. For the night staff who believes in ghosts, there needs to be reigning in of the imagination!

In the dark, Minties keep them company, coupled with jangling of the keys to chase ghosts away (whether real or imagined). No spook wants to stick around and listen to the obnoxious chewing echoing down the hallways, through the classrooms. That would drive any living soul insane!

2 part aviary (the long flight run extends off the side of the house area) or alter to make 2 separate aviaries. Could be adapted for other use also.
House section has floor in half base area and open to the ground in other half. Long run section is opened fully to the ground. One of the bottom runner boards is functional but needs replacing. There are connection holes in both parts of the aviary to allow for joining them. We have extra wire and boards that can be used to cover these if you want them. There are nests etc that come with the aviary areas. Come see if you want. They will need a couple of strong people to move them & a good size trailer.
Dimensions:
House section: L 1.84m x W 1.26m. Two heights: lower 1.88m & upper 2.17m.
Full Run: L 2.35m x W 0.95m x 1.88m
