Looks like the micro chip that the government planted has fell out. I've heard this is normal, and generally happens after roughly 500 rds. They have enough info on your travel patterns with this particular rifle that it isn't needed after that.
How much time daily do you need to give the bird? What do you do if you go on vacation? Can someone just feed the bird, or does it need to be able to be out of the pen and exercised daily?
Beautiful bird and very interesting.
Posted this in rimfire as well, but I'll try here. My daughter asked for a .22lr for Christmas and she likes shooting the beat up one from when I was a kid. If you have one in decent shape let me know.
Thanks
