killer catch 18 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 If just had my 1st season with my fmh, I've had a few bunnies with her and it's been going realy well. Up to this point the bird has been 100% silent but since I've put her up for moult she squarks fairly regular. Why would this be and is there anything I can do to prevent it. Thanks Quote Link to post
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) have you let her see you giving her food. if she has she will squark and theres not much you can do about it now. what i do is lock mine in his mews put the food outside then unlock him when he cant see me to eat his food or when i get home late i put his food in when its dark and he will find it in the morning so you could try that. or depending on your weathering design if you cant prevent the bird from seeing you, you could try and hood your bird without stressing her out and place the food down before taking the hood off and leaving her to eat the food in peace, never done this myself so dont know how good it will work atb kyle Edited March 15, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG 1 Quote Link to post
Ginger shooter 58 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Mine started to but she ain't loud it's only when I go in she will whistle and a we squawk! I pick her and take her to the food already on floor when I put her on perch she jumps down and eats! I can leave her in back garden all day and she won't batter a eye lid! Quote Link to post
lor123 12 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 i have a fhh was doing same thing, would squawk when she heard you around the mews or seen anyone. i fitted a shut which was a 5 inch bend pipe the type you get in builders yard. i would go in and out a few times a day and she would sqauwk waiting for food but would get none only through the shute. 2 weeks she stopped associating me with her meal and stop sqauwking for food. dont know your mews design but may help you out.

killer catch 18 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for the replys, I think I'll try the shoot method. She has always seen me feed her but it's only since moult she has started to squak. Hopefully I can get her out of this bad habbit. Quote Link to post
