Was cleaning out this morning we have we section where there are 8 pair in it.these birds have not been out for about two month but have access to a cage on the landing board.a pair had two youngsters which were left in the section.noticed this morning.one of the young birds has no tail at all.as I said never been out for two months.how did that happen.
I reckon some of them,lose their homing instinct ,due to all the hassle they get during training and racing.hawks,wind frame,clashing bad weather etc.just my opinion.
