Young Birds And Rain

[Guest joshdonlan]

Just let the youngsters out about 1 hour ago and it started to chuck it down they seemes to love it, sat on the roof and wings up etc. When the rain eased they went up and flew for about 25 mins, the longest time so far.

 

Do many people let youngsters out in the rain on purpose to harden them up? As I see it they need to get used to flying in the rain

I think living in the UK all our birds have to get used to rain I'm on open loft and my birds are all happy to come out in the rain
