Some birds squeak even when they are older especially when getting bullied in the basket. But if it was a squeaker, as long as it is healthy then it is up to the owner if he enters it or not.The basket convenor looks for injuries and health, nothing more imo. My grandfather had a yb that was a lot younger than the rest of his birds, it had a 6 mile toss and was jumped into Penrith 102 mls and it topped the fed, it squeaked all the way home lol.( that's true )
