What a nice, well done video. I really enjoyed it. That was a really unique wooden house.
Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed the video but was surprised with the "drink of water" for the chicks after banding....this seems dangerous to me...why do you feel this is necessary?

Hi Duck!

The water is a reward for being interrupted and it is a boost - it makes them frisky and refreshed. No danger at all.

Peter.
