Nixie, female spar

[Lee Brindley]

Here is Teal's replacement...Nixie. I never intended to fly her, and she has been in my breeding pen with my musket since I bought her earlier this year. Since Teal has got a little run down, I decided to swap them over and have a go at flying this girl. Today she was 235g and jumped three feet to the fist. I got a few snaps of her but most were blurred. The best couple are these ones with her breakfast all over her face....

Nixie was down to 218g today. I didn't think I would have to take her this low but she is still pretty unresponsive. Had a bit of a break through today, I introduced the lure. She was much keener to this than the fist. I avoided using the lure with my last couple of spars, largely because their manners on it were horrible. I always ended up with hands cut to bits, and the spars ended up with trashed tails. Nixie however has impecable manners. Its a first for me to have a spar that has absolutly no aggresion toward me....I just hope she is keeping it reserved for the quarry! :twisted:
