Shamo 319 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 If Birds are 'put away' for the Moult do they suffer with fading Muscles etc? What sort of things do you guys do to prevent it and keep a reasonable level of fitness? I will be trying to fly my female through, but my male is 'put away' now. Quote Link to post

Get your bird really fit in the first year, as much hunting as possible, then put it away in an aviary, feed lots of quail and rabbit, and it will be fine the following season. Basically, if you get it fit it will stay fit, if you don't then it won't. The more work you put in the more performance you will get. Don't Quote Link to post
