Hi,

I was visting a breeder the other day to look at some of his birds... He got two birds out the aviary that were paired up and put them into a breeding cage.... before he put them in there, he turned them upside down and plucked out quite a few feathers near their vent area.... I asked why he did this and he said, he does it with all the birds he puts into breeding cages....Im still not sure why he done this.....Does anyone else ever do this ?

 

Thanks

Breeders sometimes do this to increase productivity (better fertility).
