Flying in the smoke


  Hi all as you might have seen California is on fire 820 wild fires they say. We have 5 within 50 miles of us some even closer as you can expect it is real smokey here. Any way it cleared alittle this morning so I let out my team of 10 for's. They did not go real high today maybe 400 feet and I got the best show so far. They were up about an hour and were performing the whole time I would say three to four performing at a time. It was some sight to behold. Even the two young husbands were up and performing they are only 8 weeks old.

Hey Bob,
   Just came in from watering my raspberries to read about you dealing with wildfires.Quite a contrast in environments.Good to hear your birds are doing well,but I hope the fires don't get any closer to you.

 Vaporized hemp I did not think of that maybe that's the reason I could not walk a straight line. LMAO

See if they got the munchies when they trap in or if they're real paranoid about a hawk attack. emoticon
