She is an imprint, as for method fed by hand not a dish flown to fist not to lure thats about it
cant really say to much as every bird is different but that method worked well for me some people do it different which works well for them.

DAZ if you know anyone around your way with some old horse bits with big stainless steel rings on them nab them mate thats what I use, I went to a saddlers but I wasn't going to pay £24.99 for a bit just to cut in half
Ok Jasper cheers
the other thing that I have found out is if it gets wet it tends to mark the feathers with an orange sort of colour but that must of been the coating
Derek I am not getting involved its between you and him but get the story straight first. I dont care if you are a convicted egg thief good luck to you but Im not going to let somebody abuse the system by not telling the full story. This info is only trying to clear your name you dont care about anyone else your just trying to get one over on Neil Hunter as he was the one person that was a witness against you and a police officer at the time.
Again this is hear say Neil is a good friend of mine and was a respected member to all the forums he belonged to. There is only one reason you what his name plastered over all the forums. You know the reason Derek.
At the end of the day there are some good bows and some bad bows, you have only got to look at the bows they use in the USA they are some funny shape's but do they get birds that get tangled?
the problem here is this will defeat of the object of having a Indoor Bow by adding perminant spikes . I had this in the past with bows and used long tent pegs or caravan awning pegs to pin the bow down.
The other option DAZ seeing that this is composite piping is you could drill the end of each foot to allow you to push a spike through incase you need it, I think I mentioned to you about a real old Bow I have here with flat plates for feet! I just blasted a good drill bit throgh the feet to allow me to pin it...
Jasper
I made 1 with flat steel before instead of tube all I done
D.A.Z great stuff mate have you got spikes or something on the bottom of the bow ?
The reason I ask is Im not knocking your workmanship, you have done a good job dont get me wrong but I have made a few bows like these and the problem I have found is no matter how much weight I have put in the tubes the bird always ends up dragging it around the garden, all I done is got some 10mm bar and cut it in to 3"-4"lenths and welded 1 to each end of the tube so it digs into the ground.
GREAT JOB
