| exercising birds now is not realy important to me now , as log as they can get access to baths that will do me , I don't let them out early now because if the hawks , they tend to attack early with the low sun behind them this time of year , but you must still let them out to keep them streetwise , don't let them out every day and alter your times of freedom as these preditors are watching and waiting for there chance ? after all it is nature and they need to eat , just make life difficult for them , it works  |

| I use a couple of large mirrors when my birds are out exercising, they are angled to reflect the sun, which does seem to keep hawks away......  |
