I think the way the weather has been of late I think the birds body clock think autumn is approaching. I'm seriously considering having lights installed in my y/bird loft to try to hold back the moult. Even though mine are darkness youngsters I fear they may start moulting earlier than usual.
Not got mine going yet, all I'm hearing is tales of bad training tosses down this way. Am beginning to wonder if the MOD are to blame, who knows what type of signals they're pushing into the atmosphere to protect the Olympics.
