@ Danny.
What else could you think when I have already stated that the curlew was a "she?" More

Precisely, Jay was definately referring to me, not your silly bird.

I have two hen curlews, hate each other, One is kept in a large planted aviary (10mtr X 10 mtr, half of which is pond) with 9 mandarin ducks, 2 amherst pheasants, 2 regent bower birds, 10 new guinea ground doves and 2 scarlet honeyeaters.
The other hand raised one is kept in another planted aviary (10 mtrs X 8mtrs, no pond) with 8 N.G ground doves, 2 green-wing pigeons, 2 Peking robins, 2 bulbuls, 2 satin bower-birds, 2 regent bower-birds, 2 musk lorikeets, 5 metallic starlings, 2 white headed pigeons, 4 silvereyes, 1 hen noisy pitta, a male song thrush and a spare male bleeding heart pigeon.
No problems except when I had splendid wrens in the aviary, when they bred the 2 young disappeared one day after fledging, so the wrens were removed to another safer aviary. The curlews will catch and eat mice so a young wren is too much of a temptation.
I don't have lapwings (yet) but I think you will find Danny does.
