HELLO TO ANY NEW TIPPLERMAN, HEREINAFTER YOU WILL FIND SOME USEFUL TIPS HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BIRDS FOR ALL DAY LONG FLIGHT! Rule no. 1> Never feed or water your birds before 21:00 hour and never more than once/day. First time give them food and after 1/2 hour water, tonic, tea or whatever they need to get at that particular time. Rule no. 2> Never release your birds when they were fed with food and never during the day and never more than once during the day! Rule no. 3> Never release your birds when they are ready for mating with the opposite sex- just the same sex can fly as seniors! Now our story goes through this very simple system, although each Tipplerman has its own system!

1) FIRST PHASE: * In the first phase you feed them with barley only and giving them water 1/2 hour later while once in week water with Epsom salt. * Release birds every second day before night to fly them up to three hours and let them to land in the darkness with droppers or any other signal for their landing you might have. 2) SECOND PHASE: * After they are flying 3 hrs. solid release them 15 minutes each time before, but every third day, while giving them 1/3 barley, 1/3 corn and 1/3 wheat. Water 1/2 hour later. * Do it until they reach flight of 6 hours few times, without been tired or nervous, and then close them in the dark boxes separately for each bird. 3) THIRD & THE LAST PHASE OF THE BIRDS PREPARATIONS- ALL DAY LONG FLIGHT: * Feed them for the next 7 days with canary food, barley, sweet, wheat etc... (caloric food anyhow) but don't let them to bath because they need that powder from the oil gland over their feathers. * On the eight day release them in the dawn and they will fly until the night, as it is what they are used to do previously. IMPORTANT REMARKS: Good quality and healthy birds are your primary guarantee that they will fly. Training and feeding are just of secondary and tertian importance! Cheers m8 and good luck with them! 2012 by David Strossmayer- (Tipplerman since 1976)
