I would rest her for a week and feed her up,then a day or two before you fly her again cut her feed back!!!
Just a thought!!!

San,
This time of year many birds are still Molting out there last primary feathers. These are sometimes called blood feathers. Anyway, when this happens, it can be very painful for the bird when it spins and it might stop rolling intel those feathers are grown back in.

After feeding I would keep and eye on her she might have a mate in the kit box. Most likely its what Ray said missing flights.

she probably just needed to shut down for a while. the good ones seem to do this so they wont burn themselves out. i sometimes check the fly and performance records of the parents to see if one of them did the same.
keep em flying and they'll teach you a lot.

San,might have something to do with health.I would seperate her,medicate[maybe a worming],feed up,some baths.Worms and respiratory love this time of year.Some birds just cut their frequency down to next to nothing after a year.I call it" not holding up ",it happens.....Aloha,Todd
