Rose:
Just a little note about RCF's photos. The original building is seven stories( that's what you see in the photos) as you can see it's a little bit of a drop from where Sir Green Boy is sitting. That copper Cornice extends across the east side( front of the building) and around both east and west side for as far as you can see from the photo. Below the wall is a two storey building, the drop there is five stories. Further to the west closer to the nest box wall the drop will be seven stories. So if he should decide to explore the best place to start would be right from where he is sitting. :)

Thanks for the photos RCF, the ledge is lower down than I remembered it ...

Yes & no. As I recall, where he was there was a facade on the other side at about the height of the roof. A bit more to the west (toward the nestboxes) and it's eight storeys to the ground.

Feathers in the eyes sounds irritating, similar to those annoying little hairsnips after trimming ones bangs, i should think.

Supposing the chick is less stressed with the hood in place, is it a technique considered for use when banding younger chicks?
--- End quote ---
It can be used on younger chicks but with the downy feathers the feathers come out end up in their eyes which can be irritating. By the time they are this age, most of the downy feathers are gone (usually just some on the top of the head) and the hood sits on smooth flight feathers.
