Two primary enclosures failed to securely contain the birds within- one Pigeon escaped on 9/14/23, and a pheasant was observed in the rafters of the barn on the morning of 9/15/23. Numerous birds were observed sticking their heads or tails outside of their enclosures. Many enclosures were constructed so that birds could not be safety removed in the event of an emergency. Birds that escape or put body parts outside of the enclosure may be come injured or killed. Correct by 9/17/23 by ensuring that bird transport enclosures securely contain the birds to prevent injury and escape. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the facility representatives.
