Your right Oldtimr my mistake as I never noticed exactly how short his flight pen was going to be.. He really needs to cut back on the number of birds as well as install some roosts for them.. At least here you need to have roosts in your pen. I do not recall if he was going to or not.. The birds need to get off the ground at night..
