WELDONE ALLY top flyng in a very competitive race. weldone all who timed in -
like above when you get the birds let them settle in to new loft.make sure birds can fly in and out a big cage to see round their new home.let them pair up and raise 1 yb,each pair (would not take 2 yb.s from unproven birds).some of the yearlings should brake sooner than some of the older birds if thats thier 1st time breeding.when it comes time to start letting them out give the guy you got them from a phone to let him know your letting birds out the next day.that way he can watch for any going back and make sure any that do go back don,t get any food or water in thier old loft. he could also scare them a bit by just putting some small stones in a big tin and givng it a rattle.any that do go back go through to pick them up as soon as you can the same day if you can.bring back put back in new loft for 1 day making sure birds can fly in to cage to look around.the next day let out again if any birds go back to old loft .go through same day pick up make sure birds don,t get any feed or water and a good loud rattle with the tin with stones.bring back to new loft and same again.it might take a week and a few drives through for them.the birds will be quick to learn i broke birds in much the same way years back lucky for me thier old loft was not far away the birds where a mix of yearlings 2/3/4 year olds i then raced them and most of them raced well for me. the reason i say only keep in for 1 day after going through for any that go back to old loft 2 things in thier wee minds safe hear and unsafe thier.

The Highways Agency found over 200 dead crows on the M4 near Bridgend recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the ...bird's beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorrys, while only 2% were killed by cars. The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Lorry"

yes having any birds young or old getting out in to an aviary is good for them. i have a big cage on yb sec that yb,s go in to .i thnk it does them the world of good the fresh air and taken in all around thier loft best thing for yb,s.i like yb,s early or latebred to get as much time on wing as i can get them to help build them up for thier future.
