| have you got spikes on your roof if not fit some also you can try putting some branches of trees up on roof to stop her landing on there |

| Basically from my experience the fancier controls his birds, dont let them have bad habits. They get them from you, if you control them from babies with food, or rather lack of it they get into a habit of coming in for you and thats it...however sometimes you always get an odd bird who will do it no matter, they are bad trappers and usually when they are goin to win. You just get on with it or get rid of it. |

| just my opinion phil, but maybe sometimes could happen with broken birds not being fully used to your system/setup.........i will fly to the open door so each time my birds are exercising i let them go in and out of the loft getting familiar and feeling safe doing this, maybe once she gets the hang of your layout and system she might be ok...... |

| its all down to management and routine phil, once you teach them as young birds they should know as adults, maybe the person you got them from had this same trouble with her.

| Some good advise there Phil, but for me try and get some trelless work on the top of your loft running a long the front and also keep her a little hungary to make her trap on arrival home |
