 will discover something is wrong and stop their fighting. Let them 

 stay tied together all day. Trim the beaks of both birds. It is also 

 a good idea when putting strange male birds together, to do this late 

 in the evening, just before roosting time or dark. They may "scrap" 

 a little, but it is soon too dark, and by sleeping together all night, 

 they usually feel more friendly next morning. 



TO PREVENT FLYING. 



If you trim the wings, that is, cut off the main flight feathers, 

 trim only one wing. If you trim both wings, the bird can still fly. 



Interested in each other. 



We prefer pulling out the feathers to clipping them, for the reason 

 that they will grow back and if you clip the wing, it disqualifies the 

 birds for show purposes. Or you may bend a wire around one wing
