Electricbarbarella Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 they can't free range so i have to get him to come to me really as I can't get inb the cube easile and I certianly won't be able to get out with chook in hand. I have about 1/2 an hour before dh comes home from work to take him back dh is really upset so i think it would be less of a blow if I have already caught him.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Can you stretch a long handled broom beyond him and kind of push him towards you? Grapes or mealworms always work with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolky Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I would open the cube door and hold out some dandelion leeaves, he will come over to inspect then you can catch him. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickcluck Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 has he gone back cause you are pretty sure he's a boy?? What have you replaced him with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricbarbarella Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 He is deffo a boy, I was really sad but apparently they have a little girl and she was so happy to see him back, the breeder promised Maugan that he will stay there or go to a nice home, we have an amber link called fizz, she is lovely, although it is difficult to tell the difference between her and the white star who has poo on her wing.
