about 5 years ago i tried to break in a older cock that had never been out in his life , he was reported by a member of the public 2 days later 40 miles away ive found that birds who have never been out before when you give them their liberty they go up into the sky and just fly never to be seen again, could prob count on 1 hand the amount ive held onto out of dozens ive tried to break birds that have flown out before at another location are easier to break as they know the score with landing on the loft and going in through a trap
