Can i just say, knowing your birds is knowing yourself. Routine for all, no routine its not going to happen. You have to work hard to know your birds, hours and hours of observation. Looking at different trates, and also if they value the loft. If they are not happy, well there must be a reason. So the loft environment is so important, a nice calm loft. Can motivate for them to return to that setting, and yes we have other motivation systems to help. But the love for home plays a big part.

Really does

Yes, yes it does.
Love of home is the best and most powerful motivation.

Yeah I’m hoping I can get into a routine in the next month once the house stuff settles down and pratice with the stock birds and hopefully get an other 8x6 shed up ready for yb racing

After a week away, the birds routine has been broken and I can see this in the birds, I am trying my best to get them back into the routine they had before I went away but some are a bit sheepish coming in now
