You can always let them choose their own mates. Several fanciers allow that to happen. Then to answer your second question: it starts in the nest. Before they are even weaned they should know who you are if you plan on flying them. They should be learning from their parents as well, being observant of how to eat and drink on their own. At weaning ensure they know how to take care of themselves. After I know they can eat and drink on their own is when I would start trap training. Once they are good at that I would move to loft flying. I wouldn’t wait to long, they are like children, they learn better when younger.
