I was talking about the decline of their numbers appearing this season, "if it's not avian flu"

@Versa, that is not avian flu. That comes from moldy feeders.

If it's not avian flu, maybe the heatwaves are throwing off their migrations.

I DO know I've seen some sick hummingbirds, but I suspect these are cases of neighbours not cleaning their feeders. The tongue swells up and the hummingbird can't drink... :(

@Versa, yeah it makes sense. UT is known for their water birds though especially with the great salt lake.

The struggle is if it spreads to the flying flocks. Then the bigger warnings go around. It's not that it primarily affects water birds, as much as it is the water birds aren't really interacting with the other species, if that makes sense

@Versa, that is my understanding, yes. I am in UT and you are way over in TN though.

Wolf,
Other than the fit it has thrown, it's... Doing hand things I guess, functioning as I'd hope while screeching about it angrily. LOL

Ahhh, so you were told to worry about water birds probably because that's what's currently sick in your area. Over here, there's major warnings of avian flu going around and it's suggested feeders are taken down entirely. So it's chill over there, currently

@Versa, I thought about taking my feeder down, but was told in my area to only worry about water birds at the moment. I haven't refilled it anyways though since I hardly see any visitors, but that is typical for summer.

Hummingbirds are considered to be low risk for avian flu.

Nah, it's hitting a lot of things... I've had to bleach my brand new feeder three times already because of sick visitors

I'm willing to bet avian flu has something to do with it, sadly.

@Cloud, I just made a post in one of my birding groups on Facebook to see if anyone else is experiencing something similar. =/

I was looking at the LB this morning and saw one of my mares. She is currently 58. This shocks me as her rating is only an EPP.at 58 she should stay on the LB and not be bumped off. Now I feel I need to give her the benefit of the doubt and breed her to a top quality stallion. She is high in Movement and Low in Heart. I could really use some help in matching her. This is going to be hard as most LB stallions have an EEP restriction. Or should I not bother with her? I know Lysander fits well but he has a restriction on him. Here is here link:

The LBs will move a whole bunch once the rest of the horses are bred. This year the mare LBs are different in that if the mare hasn't been bred yet, she doesnt show up. Previously all mares showed up whether they had been bred yet or not.

I would wait a few more weeks before making the decision. There is a chance she gets bumped off.

OK, I didn't think they would move that much. She just turned 5 so she is of that age. I was shocked to see her name.

She probably won't fall off, I checked some of the mares around her and they were all on the LB last year. I would probably try and PM the owner of any stallions that she matches to and let them know. But her production also isn't great so I wouldn't go super out of the way with her.

My matching isn't great.
That is why I thought I would ask other opinion.
I am getting better but still don't have it down completely.
I will wait until RO is closer so I know better where she will land on the LB before speaking with a stallion owner.
I appreciate the help.

I'd be happy to lift his restriction for suitable mares.

I once had an EPP mare who was up to #5 on the eventing LB. She never produced any foals stronger than EPP though.

I appreciate your offer. From what I can see they match up very nicely. I was going to wait untill she had a couple more training weeks under her so I can see what her plans are. LOL
I am still unsure f my matching skill so the higher the training the better I match. I do have another PEP mare that has done well. She is not on the LB but has produce a couple PEE's for me.
As of today the to horses look very good to me. So if they continue to match as they go I would love to have a straw or LC for her.

We're also talking about PONs here. The breed is not strong at all currently so it's easier for lower quality mares such as EPP combos to make it onto the PONLB.

I'm pretty sure there is an EEP stud in the top 20 of the PONLB. It really wouldn't shock me all that much to still see an EPP up there. I do expect some sort of shift though still. Well maybe not at this point but if there is not much.
This is another one of silvers boys I think match well
