Ty once posted he was peeking from under an eave watching his birds fly in the rain. I posted about dancing around a Plum tree trying to keep the sun out of my eyes, while watching my birds fly. Today, I done both and I have to say, both are fun! Sun in the morning, rain in the afternoon and both times, I watched my birds fly! Ain't life grand!
P.S. NO HAWKS!

Hey Steve, My breeders are in lock down but with careful timing sometimes the danger is not as great. One thing I have learned this year is how to fly around the B.O.P. with limited success. :) It's a risk anytime but if they don't fly then, I might as well raise canaries.
Irving, A belated welcome, I am also a returnee, A.K.A. newbie! There are a lot of new ideas, some old misconceptions and change. This is I.M.H.O. the best of the best sites. Any day I can fly my birds is the best of days!

Hey Val, I've been right here just listening. I had a bad year with the B.O.P. but made progress and look forward to next years crop of young birds. I hope things are well with you!
Take care my friend.
