THE FIFER Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 had this problem once before, a house across from me is covered in thick green moss, and my young birds land there after flying and pick at it for hours, have even made sure they are hungry when getting out but makes no difference, they get grit and minerals so what is the green moss to them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiley Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I would have them in the basket Archie, if they are spending hours on someone's roof, you need to adjust what you are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
