See, it can be said nicely. Thank you Chickies. I mean, I understand the concept he was trying to get across- and I would never purposely advise someone to do something that I knew would hurt their birds... or even thought it MIGHT hurt their birds. That would be silly and rude and horrible. If your birds shoot straight up in the air at night when you visit, then of course don't visit then. Mine don't, and I didn't know others did or I wouldn't have said anything
I think alot depends on the birds, if you know their behaviers....I have some that will , others never do. Think same thing on peahens taking peachicks, some will others will not....but myself i think it better to raise them ,rather than the mother. lot of danger for those little peachicks, so peahens will lose more than the way i raise them. No not that I'm a better mother
but can drown in water puddles , get trapped behind boards, stuck in wire, not able to get to mom, and don't forget predators and disease.
That one thing about giving advise, not all birds act the same, dealing with very tame birds different , those that are not.
So D&M made a very good point, and don't think he ment to be rude, but just throwed out facts, you should know.
