End of week three. Birds are good, had to add more water, and will probably need to add more feed before the release.

Here is a link to a YouTube video of a birds eye view

Once released did the birds covey call and covey up? I'm interested in how the birds reacted after being released? Great thread.....thanks for keeping us updated!

From what I saw when I released them. They kinda scattered out then called back about ten yards from the surrigator under a cedar. I can here them calling when I go out and listen for a while.

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay in the reply. I released the birds last Sunday. And I have a little bit of video from it. This release was a bit slower from the last one. I put the divider down so I could keep a few birds to work my dog on.

How many did you lose?
I work at K&S outfitters and its ridiculous how much is put into those pens to keep them alive and how many still die. I would have thought all of yours would have died compared to our setups but looks like you definitely know what your doing!
