YB exercise times...

we hear it said that good management and a regular time for exercising is needed to get the best from our birds, once in the routine they should respond to the management etc.........what time do members exercise their ybs each day ? i know this might depend on work or what time is convenient........i prefer to exercise in the morning but i know some who exercise their ybs in the evening........

ybs will always exercise better in the morning simple


prefer to have out morning and night if time allows but being at work its hard too get out early but at mo they only training and not going out so find that a bit more easier

ive found when i exercise early in the morning the birds fly higher in the sky, plus they go off ranging and they have all day to come home, if ive exercised later in the day it seems to hold them back from ranging but if they do range they might not get back before dark............

all true mate i know people who let out late to stop them going off but all it does IMO is hold up there learning

Always had the birds out between 5.30 or 6.00 o'clock first thing in the morning

And yes they do fly better and faster plus they get high in the sky which helps them to see the area were they live better

Full of energy in a morning.
I let mine out twice a day as they get fed twice a day.

only my opinion dont agree fletch my babies most often are not out until 6ish at the earliest yet still can go well for 2 hours -3 hours.

i found more risk of losing them fly aways etc in the morning with our trainers going across normally nice quiet skys when mine go out at worst there is the odd woddy and ringneck dove about.
