It's up to you although a trap is nice for them to see out.

Young birds will stay after about 10 days. Old birds can be a lot harder. Best to start with young ones.

Get young birds i.e. ones that aren't flying yet. Let them out after 10 days and make sure they are hungry.

Some people say around 2 table spoons per bird. Depends on their age and activity level. Give young birds plenty so they develop well, as much as they want in the evening.

I think most people feed morning and evening. You could feed them one big one in morning.

a aviary is good on a loft the youngsters can see there surroundings before flying out
