just thought id share this with you all, last year i went over to collect some unrung young birds that Bob Mcdonald had very kindly offered me. And about a couple of months back now when my grandad was up visiting from south lanarkshire spotted one of them that he rather liked a little cheq cock so i told him he could take it back home with him because he liked it. so after keeping it in for a while he started trying it out but would continuously be phoning me up telling me that it had dissapeared for a few nights then would reappear flow well down. I never really thought much of it until going out to the loft this afternoon and spotting him sitting in the loft looking rather tired. So i phoned my grandad to ask if he was missing any birds and yes obviously he was this bird having being unrung has never been trained so has been no further than flying round the loft, was let out with my grandads birds at 3 oclock yesterday and has flew all they way up here just by early this afternoon. this bird really has amazed me :)
