It's stopping them that's the problem
They are expensive, i payed £45 for my 1st two birds, and they turned out to be both males and hated each other
the first few quail i got and paid for turned out to be cock birds, must of had them over 12mths before i realised and im a gamekeeper so should of noticed long before
nearly everything that is purchased from shops around here end up dying, still get the occassional tears from the lad from when his parrot thingy died a few months ago but he dont give txo hoots if i dont come home with a terrier
