trappa 518 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Nice looking bird mate. I dont bother with leg bells bud, tail bell is ample sufficient imo. Quote Link to post

jasper65 6 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Looks a nice size bird scotlandforever ... I wouldn't count the weight when he had food in his crop mate but would record it the next day When/If it had cast and empty, he could well of had a good Oz of food in him or more. weigh him on a 24hr period, no need to weigh him every so many hours... either way he looks very nice Jasper Quote Link to post
