Just weaned them tuesday forty in total eating and drinking first class and already fighting for perches, on holiday next week so will train them to exit the bay windows through the bob wires at feeding time (bet it rains for a week )

Mine were a bit dodgy for few weeks. They only flew 20 minutes when let out. We made another window in shed and now have air flow. They're zipping about now, doing about 60 minutes flying on each outing. Going to wait till June to toss them.
