He's going the extra mile to protect and entertain his birds

He's been feeding the birds apples, carrots and pumpkins left over from Halloween, so the birds can keep occupied by foraging, preventing them from getting distressed or into fights while they are cooped up inside. "It is quite a confined space compared to what they are used to – they’ve been outside ever since they were little and came in two weeks ago."I was genuinely scared that they were going to start fighting and scrapping – males can be quite aggressive when they start flashing their crests. If anything they are quite happy – while they are foraging it is keeping the males and females occupied.
He said a lot of farmers had come out of turkey rearing because of the flu outbreak, adding: “It’s getting very scary and hard – it’s the full flock at risk.”There have been warnings of shortages of fresh birds, with around a third of free-range production directly affected by the disease, the British Poultry Council said.
