Is this a bird that's been flying well or a late bred? If it's a late bred it's got an excuse. If it's been flying well at home I'd let it out. If it was my bird I'd be asking myself why did it enter a loft just 6 miles away? And I'd certainly put a black mark against it for entering a loft the SAME day it was lost.Tony-P- wrote: Tue Sep 08, 2026 3:10 pm Birds are doing a lot better now, straight out the trap and flying round they have been out ranging and returning yes to the roof but then off flying again.
I lost a bird yesterday (why is it always the nice looking birds that go missing ) I got a call of a fella from Liverpool 6 miles from me to say he had my bird so I went to pick it up earlier on great then phone number rings, birds locked in with food and water.
My question is.... should I keep this bird in for a few days or let it out flying tomorrow
Hi King, it didn't entre a loft (sorry I should have said that) a workman found it up on a roof he was working on this morning it had been out all night its a very tame bird for me he was able to pick it up and box it until I picked it up from him.king wrote: Tue Sep 08, 2026 3:20 pmIs this a bird that's been flying well or a late bred?

Thanks Buster, I wasn't sure on the best way to go so I will put it in the Aviary for a few days and then let it back out with the others, I do already have a Y/B in there which only comes out the trap and on to the loft roof, back to the trap and back in the loftBuster121 wrote: Tue Sep 08, 2026 3:57 pm If was only out couple times and only just started flying would let it back out after day or two, or put it in aviary for day or two
