Mr Wilkes 3,062 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 IMO better to give it to some lad (he may phone the ibr and reunite) than leave it to get stuck in branches by its jesses and starve ,check out "the lost bird" post by jsb in falconry section.....Nice pic by the way millet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
