it will cause the young ones to fly the 

 same time and as they get older they 

 will of course naturally improve. But 

 if they are trained with a kit that only 

 fly one or two hours the young ones 

 will fly the same time, therefore it is 

 essential to give them first class train- 

 ing as it all depends on the birds they 

 are trained with. A good kit of birds 

 are the fruits of a good kit of young 

 ones. 



At this time if the young ones are 

 bred early they will have had sufficient 

 training and the old birds will not fly 

 so long as the young ones simply 

 because they will be bad in the moult- 

 ing and lose their flight feathers 

 Sometimes they will drop two or three 

 feathers from their wings at once 

 which will completely stop them from 

 their daily exercise. It is a very 

 good plan to keep the old birds in 

 while they are moulting their flight 

 feathers as they are liable to strain 

 their wings at this time.
