Welfare of your birds ..  rule protect them they are not fox proof and leaving them unprotected is cruel


 Ist Rule do not panic as if people have been keeping poultry for millenia it is not difficult. Birds need shelter from excess weather ( sun as well as wet/cold). They need access to water and a range of food. Waterfowl prefer sweet to savoury as salt is bad for the in excess. . . . memo do no leave Pims near geese! Also geese get foxed too so protect them also. Buying birds and releasing into the wild seals their death  and does not guarantee freedom
