Hi,

 

Curlews at Mulligans again!.

 

In my email of 4th April I was not referring to imprinting. That is another issue. Imprinting occurs at an early stage of development and allows young to be attached to their parents.

Imprinting is not for life and does not mean that young raised with foster parents will only subsequently mate with the foster species. In most cases birds will, as adults, mate with their own species.

 

Chris
