hi sue, a door bell? is this what you have trained them to trap to? i think ken uses a whistle if i remember correctly, and also some of our other members do too....i tried it but couldnt get the hang of it so went back to shaking the corn tin....lol

hi david, yes i get my youngsters to trap using a door bell, i used a wirless one first but the battery's went flat on a race day so changed to a plug in one, the main reason i use the doorbell is the hubby uses a whistle and if we have birds come together in a batch mine drop to the noise of the doorbell works great lol

you dont want him trapping before you sue.......... good idea.

why dont you just give them a key instead of ringing the doorbell

they cant turn the key

Here u are Sue a Mealey i once had in stock
Ken

he looks the part and looks like my yb cock i bred this year from the hen in pic

Lol yes he did look the part, but could never hold onto anything from him Lol
Ken

my brother in law has the same problem with mealys he looses every yougster i seem to keep mine and the reds

I gave up in the finish much to Elaines dismay
Ken

my mealy hen breds 1 mealy and 1 red each nest, then the red mealy i have, breds 1 red and 1 cheq

Wish i could have held onto one or two, but ill have to make do with my blues and blue cheqs. as mealeys and redsand me dont seem to get on Lol, i had a friend who used to win out of turn with them, they were van reets, he brought a cross into them and they nosed dived, last i heard he had only one left of the reds and mealeys and hes about 15year old but what a prolific racer he was
