Tethered

[CityHunter.uK 12]

Tried a hood and cadge and it baited like a on that damaging primaries, it also scratched its sear trying to remove the hood. The bird boxes fine now no hood. I prefer boxes to cadges so that if stuff falls over the bird is protected I use my van for more than just carrying birds.

Sounds like a very poor fitting hood to me as that's the classic sigh of a bad fit

Well it fit snug around the beak and did not come off with the scratching. There were no signs of dampening where the eyes are inside which would suggest a bad fit. The bird just doesnt like being hooded the guy I got it off had kept it in an avairy for a year and he got it off some other guy who claimed he flew it but judging by the weights I was told I think he was talking out his Still I wanted a perexprarie and will get it flying and see if that helps settle it down once its molted. Did for another bird I had that was a bit wild and batey. Once flying free it was a different bird.
