I may have brought up two birds to soon, so they went back to the young birds. Thought I could change the short flight. Pulled the Two again and gave them rest,no change . QUESTION How long would you give to try to change this behavior. HELP

This is the one thing that really drives me nuts. I give them a couple chances. I feed them up once, and if they continue they are gone. Usually no more than a few times in a row, 3 strike after being fed up once.

do you give allowance for coming into sexual and social maturity? are these top perch birds, bottom perch birds? how active are they in the kit box?
when you say gave rest? for how long, by what means i.e. isolation, or just not flying them. Maybe you have a case where these two are either having to fight or defend themselves alot???? How big is your kitbox.
How often do you get birds that have short fly times? Are they from the same pair? is their any correlation.

Scott, Take the birds about 8 blocks from home and let them go.Some how it seems to give them confidence... They should be able to find there way back home with no problem... just a thought. Do you fly from a portable loft? Never done that so.... lol

Hello Guys, I also have the same problem. At the time I only had one kit box to share with my old and young birds and now I have 2 more kit boxes in which I can seperate my old/young/lazy birds that need more work and has become trouble-free. And taking them down a couple of blocks has worked.
