Soaping wings

[Guest Paulo]

Got some young uns to settle that are quite big heard you can soap their wings how do you do this as I have never done it before. Do you wash it off when you are finished with it, how do you apply it etc

[stevebelbin]

You can use washing up liquid, just do it on one wing, just rub work it in the ten main flights. Then when they are done dip them in warm water to remove. Make sure they cant bath outside, for obvious reasons  ;D

[Guest Paulo]

why do you only do one wing does that unbalance them?

[stevebelbin]

If you do both they can still fly, but if you just do the one they go round in circles, it the same when you cut them down

Just put a rubber band round the last 5 flights to hold them as one flight.

Don't use it neat - it ruins the flights  :B :B :B

Yes but it helps (30 to 40 days old) youngsters not to fly early, so they have a time to look around outside.

i make it up with water and just dip one wing this does the same job
