Kat 3 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd be inclined to put some carpet down or a large piece of astroturf on the slabs He only has to bate badly or land awkward and his keel will be smack down on concrete Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'd be inclined to put some carpet down or a large piece of astroturf on the slabs He only has to bate badly or land awkward and his keel will be smack down on concrete The birds talons will resemble a bull terriers toe nails after a 200 mile walk on concrete , give the bird to someone who knows what he is doing and for fooks sake get a differant mentor .
