RE: levi delivered his first bird to hand today, 91/2 weeks old
That's good news for sure! And a great age to start getting a pup "birdy".
Here's a piece of advice though. From now on, don't let the pup have any birds that are any smaller than pigeons. Small birds (starlings, quail and the like) are VERY TASTY to a pup, and can lead to problems like eating them, munching them and crunching them. This can be a very difficult problem to try to correct in the future.
