I have caught the habit from a friend who regularly releases Greys which he does not shoot. Expensive hobby at £5.00 a bird (poults) so i am looking for advice to maximise the chance of them staying and breeding.
I keep them in a coop and attached run with wire and an electric fence around, for the local foxes sake. My land is 20 acres but is not under any agricultural pressure as there are a few wiltshire horned sheep keeping the growth down a bit - no pesticides and no herbicides, except specific hand application when needed. So when released fully there should be some insect life to support them. Any advice anyone ?
