2010 Young Bird Training Begins Today at 2.5 miles

They boxed up pretty easy.  I think all of the handling Saturday helped calm them down and let them know what to expect.  I like to box them in the morning - strike that - I like to box them in the dark when they are still.  However, I think it's good to let them sleep in their perch each night instead of boxing them all night.  Who knows.

They were pretty funny.  When I opened the baskets, they just walked out and turned around and looked at me.  I wish I would've had my camera for that!  I thought I was going to have to shoo them, but then they suddenly bolted.  They meandered back and forth generally in the correct direction until they were out of sight.  I was a teeny bit worried since the weather started turning (it 30-40% chance of thunderstorms for the next 10 days) but the loft manager reported it looked like they all came in.
