Hi All,

Well I bit the bullet an let the birds out for the 1st time today.
Fitted a landing board to the loft, as the come out to the aviary, which I have now removed so they have a clear view of everything.
They where all a bit nervy at first but then two flew to the loft roof, a couple went back in the loft, don't forget I only have 9 birds at the moment.
2 have made it to the house roof while most stayed on the landing board. I then called the few off the landing board into the loft with some corn and a whistle which was great to see they came in just gave them a tiny bit on the floor.
The 2 on the roof now look like they have gone exploring just hope they return :shock: :shock: :shock:

Don’t worry about them Tony. You have done all you can for them. I’m sure they will return safe and well even if not until tomorrow. They would have learnt a lot.

Well done Tony, they will soon get into going up and down to the roof. Some may take a little venture, and make their way back. Keep it going mate.
