[Guest jason]

I think the longer they stay down (out of the sky) the better, they'll start flying when you cut the corn down (to get them under control).

In other words... THERE IS NO RUSH!! ;D

1st round flying 45 mins or so unforced with old birds - now on darkness so will slow down - cant believe the amount of small feathers not having done it before

Ours just walking about the staging atthe min, only been out about 4 times , funny little things, looking at a balckbird soft lol, then looking up at seagulls etc. used to have the youngsters going through the stall trap, but found now with open doors they are far more relaxed i sit with them on the staging. then you always get one who will want to fly on your head etc.

I think they would have been able to come down, only maybe a little nervous about coming to ground, no need to be embarrased. Ive moved youngsters from the nest before now, and 'woosh' up they go to the top perch. you have done the correct thing in moving them to the floor. this year there was just one youngster that wouldnt come to the floor to eat with the others but after bringing him/her down and with a bit of coaxing it soon realised what eating was all about!!
