Yes this information is very useful to us, thanks mate. ;D Did they tell you why they were stopping the collections and deliverys of birds? Or is it trading fullstop of everything.
We give ours conditioning seed mixed in with their other seed, don't think it speeds up the moult proccess but it helps them through it, i otherwise do nothing else to interfere with nature. ;D
They are nice birds, gentle giants really, and each with their own cheeky lovable personalities. Will post photo's when we are 100% finished with the loft, then we will have a bit more time to take pics of them.
An exhibition fantail has a huge fantail and it's head is well back behind it's body, from the front it looks headless,
A garden fantail still has a lovely big tail but you can see it's head from the front.
An Indian fantail has a nice tail and can have a little quif on it's head and feathered feet.
