Day 4

Had a great day with zoie today. I got up at 5am ( 1080 grams) and had her out for 45 minutes, feed her 18grams of washed beef heart and then had to head to work. I Got her back out at 6pm and she was down to 1067 grams. The session lasted all of 5 minutes she was bouncing all over my hand and looking for some place to bate too. I put her away for 2hrs and got her back out at 8. I wanted to use a spray bottle on her to damp her down which didn't seem to bother her in the slightest,she bated once and returned to the fist correctly. She then settled down and i started to feed her on the fist again, gently stroking her feet, legs wings and chest. if she reached to far forward i would move my hand away. I learnt how to palm the meet in my hand using my two smaller fingers and then as my two front finger were on her breast i would drop the meet onto my glove. I also introduced the whistle tonight by the end of the session she was waiting for the whistle before taking the tidbit. She ate another 45grams. I decided to end the session on a high and put her away until tomorrow. Pretty pleased with how things are going and I'm hoping to introduce her to an indoor perch tomorrow. Steve my sponsor will be here so should all being well be a good session.
