Do you have any concerns about the relatedness of all the birds?( as PP themselves do about the wild Cornish birds) .

The imprinting problem is interesting too. Is it that strong with other hand-reared species? And how can you possibly minimise it yet still be fully supportive (company, food, attention etc)?
