Wow! Thanks so much for all your kind words. I had fun building it, and I'm really glad you guys like it!

Welcome to the Cobblepot Aviary! Well, not so much ‘welcome’ as ‘scram’!, as it’s the Penguin’s private birdhouse, and not open to the public. This is not only where the Penguin keeps his birds, but also the location of his secret underground apartment. Right now he’s on the first floor, holding a gun on renowned veterinary ornithologist Dr. Ramona Shivers, whom he’s kidnapped to look after his sick ostrich, Hildegard. The Cobblepot Aviary (full complex) by imitationspud, on Flickr The lowest level of the aviary, buried deep in the earth, is the ice cavern where the Penguin’s namesake birds hang out. Freezer units keep the cavern at a ‘cool’ Antarctic temperature, and the underground pond is kept stocked with fish and other penguin treats.

Notable aspects of the room include a spare top hat (a gift from the Mad Hatter that the Penguin has always been afraid to try on), a prototype laser umbrella, and a quilt handmade by Grandma Cobblepot, long predating young Oswald’s rise to criminal infamy. The level above that is his workshop, where he builds his special umbrellas. The current project is a shotgun umbrella!

The birds spend their time up in the branches of the trees, or nestled into the cracks and crevices of the rock walls. Until they’re needed for some special bird-related crime, that is!

Hello, everybody! My name is ImitationSpud, and I'm just doing a short introduction here, because I apparently need five posts under my belt before I can post photos from my Flickr account. Who knew?

That's a cool build! That poor guy needs a can of Bat Crocodile-Man Repellent!

I'm too new a member to participate in this. Sad! Please make sure you do this again next year when I can play along.

IGNORE THIS POST, as I figured it out on my own. (Sheepish grin.) I used the insert image tool from the posting window to grab the images from my Flickr gallery, but when I tried to post my entry, it told me "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board.". Uh, . . . little help?

Ooh, fun! I want to play!
