Let her rest up for a couple of days, make sure she is well and does not have a sickness,or is not under fed, then put her back up. If she keeps doing that, cull her and check the parents(remate them or dispose of them, or both)

Feed them higher % or a little more food. If it still does it that bird is no good. CULL him

I would hold her in for a week or so and feed her up a bit. Had a few do this and once I did this most of them corrected it and were okay, that's until the bop got them.

kopetsa...Please don't get OFFENDED, but their are some subjects that don't need to be discussed in this room.(too many other ears listening) Maybe you can contact some members to discuss this in detail. Or better yet contact TONY himself.

One thing that I have done in the past is to pluck the tail, I do this for a couple of reasons, one is to detour me from letting the bird up too soon. And the other reason is that it basically gives the bird a brand new rutter. and if that dosen't help, then its not worth my time..

If its an old bird then rest it a few days and feed it up. A young bird you can do the same but rarely are they saved in this manner. As for the tail pulling I have not figured out were that would help other than the rest because rollers use their secondaries for brakes not their tail. I have had birds that had their tail pulled by hawks or me or some other reasen and still flew and could roll with the best of them. Joe
