Letting birds out

Do you let them out or keep them I'm. .We try to let ours out every day weather permitting. The reason we do this is because one time we kept them in and it was the hardest thing getting them going again .so we keep them as active as possible

We still let them out Ray, not flying for long at the minute but we let them go anyway, if they want to go out they go, if not we don't force them

Ours still go away as well which surprised me

Mine are separated. Different lofts for some of them so all locked down. Raptors starting to move through. Normal course of events out whenever they want. Not this year.

Our bird's stay in now till next March not worth letting them out to feed the raptors.

case of having to keep em in, have to move y/bs to lofts down garden so they have to get used to that for 4/6 weeks, also gonna put hen boxes in and see how they go next year, all good fun tho

usually lock down once October comes too many raptors about

It's a shame by the sounds of it mist keep them in incase of attacks .but if that was not the case would you or not

i would have them out everyday if it were not for hawks and falcons theirs a spar hawk hen about my area this last two weeks and a few piles of feathers hanging about so looks like she been busy already with the local wildlife

Frightening to be honest. M it would distroy me that having to deal with that

mine are on lock down at the present , due to moulting ,but I will fly them out on good days ,, now and again , I do not do it every day nor do I let them out at the same time ,as that is when you are most likely to have a visit from percy, they soon work out the meal times , you must get them out for some exercise and keep them street wise ? I live in the country and believe me there is plenty here , all kinds ,just do what you have to and keep it to yourself ?.

Keep mine in to get through moult and rest until March each to there own though
