jasper65 6 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 things are a bit slow here with the new male at the moment but the proven bird will be on the pad as soon as I put my hand through, I'm holding him back for a good week before I start to get him going. females are bang on track and looking good but then again they're well proven and can be read like a book, here's the HG female coming in which is always ahead of the rest .....

I spoke to Andy a few months back to tell him I have moved, he's a top genuine lad is Andy and pretty much out of the birds now. stick with the male and go in building a nest with him! all is good with the bonding. he might trash it a few times and then again he might now hardly build much at all but it doesn't matter to much if he is receptive to you and copulating . cheers Jasp Quote Link to post

Once he find a technique that suits him they generaly get into a steady rythum producing in the same area, there's a spot on my pad my old male hit virtually everytime . I'm sure he'll come good in the end Bullet... Jasp Quote Link to post
