clootie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi Gracie, welcome to the madhouse !! We're quite nice really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hi Gracie and welcome . Are they launching themselves off anything (like the cube)? You could try clipping their wings but if they've found a launch pad that won't really help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hiya!! Welcome to the forum As ANH says if they have a launchpad wing clipping may not make much difference. All my lot have clipped wings and so far only Fizz the Bluebelle has made it over the netting...she just jumps over though A bt like one of those planes that take off but just going straight up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmamakeup Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Welcome Gracie. To be honest my girls all have their wings clipped and they still manage to make big leaps into the air. I have to be really careful I don't put our garden chairs on the lawn as they will jump over the fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
