Subject: Flyers only look 'fat' to me when they're ....

(Flyers only look 'fat' to me when they're ....) sitting in the 'smiling Buddha' pose --- and my two oldest flyers, Mike Robe and Iota, both look 'fat', compared to the others, here, so don't worry. If they climb on a wire cage, you'll be able to see if the teats are in use, no matter how chubby the momma.

If you're giving good veggies and fruit, and they get plenty of room for exercise, don't worry too much about the flyers' weight. It doesn't seem to worry them!
