Wingdow, LLCWe are a company formed with one mission: We make birds happy. We are
focused on birds that live inside our houses at the moment, but our vision is wider. If
our products find the level of acceptance we foresee, we will donate funds to pet bird
orphanages and to avian hospitals. The principal humans in this company are focused on
these issues and intend to join others in supporting them. The avian members on our roll
call insist we do so.
The Story of Wingdow Seat (according
to John)....
We have a Senegal named Pook and a Blue
Headed Pionus named Sapphire. Pook really likes his sunshine and also likes to chew our
windows. I spent a long Saturday morning making the first Wingdow Seat from sheet
plastic and generic hardware and it was an instant hit. I swear Pook thanked me for it. He
saw its purpose instantly and flew to it, and he is by no means an early adopter. Then
Sapphie was interested enough to chase Pook away, so I went back to Home Depot that
afternoon for the stuff to make the second one. That worked for our office, but Sunday I
made two more for their room. The first examples were made of acrylic sheets joined by
ugly metal corner brackets with pop rivets that soon cracked the plastic. They were
tedious to make so they stayed up, cracks and all, for two years. Lucero, the new canary,
is the bird who is responsible for bringing the Wingdow Seat to market. Our birds
fly freely through the house at regular times and we wanted the canary to do so as well.
The first time we let Lucero out in our office, he flew to the Wingdow Seat nearest
his house as his first landing spot. His next stop was the Wingdow Seat on the other
side of the room hidden by a large plant display. He must have been planning his flight
from his house by watching Pook and Sapphie.
I have owned pet birds off and on since my childhood and always noticed their natural
attraction for windows. I dont think they are just trying to escape. I believe they
are genuinely far more open to adventure than humans are, and I envy them. Perhaps this
envy is felt by other bird fanciers. |
