i have a 08 turner/plona bird that has been flying for a year now and shes a fast spinner with great controls..she does around 10 to 15 ft but is not frequent or consistent..just glides half of the flight but when she rolls she one of the best one up there..is it b/c she is still a young bird?..should i giver her more time or is it a cull??..sort of new at this since i just really got into the hobby...

man,
i hate birds like that,
they come into the roll super hot,
but after a week of comming into their roll, they go stiff, super stiff!

weird, i just posted something but it deleted.
but here goes again. Are the tail feathers spread when in flight? Mine werent. seemed like they had a broken butt bone or something.
i've had 4 birds that were rolldowns in the past 2 years. 2 were hens and 2 were cockbirds. the hens didnt produce eggs anymore. the cocks didnt seem to be fertile anymore either. i culled all 4.

Steve, when that happens pull the tail feathers, or exercise the tail by spreading and gently rotating around for a weak or so until bruising goes away and bird can spread the tail on it's own, don't fly until it can open and close it's tail on it's own
