We start training our birds at a very early age to return to their loft.
Nobody really knows.
Although not clearly understood, their ability depends on breeding, good health, and extensive training. There can be a lot of creativity in the timing and location of your release. The specific time of day is flexible, but we never release birds less than two hours prior to sunset. For Acts of God such as rain, snow, high winds,we reserve the right to cancel the release. If you have decorated cages also, the release portion is only refundable.
