whats that? never heard of it

Well i once heard of a website that tracked hawk movement. something like a migration website. i did a search but couldnt located it on the internet. someone has to know about this site please help. Symbro

i will be building a short avairy. i will be building it about three feet off the ground with a wire bottom. pigeons dont really like being low anyways. having it off teh ground also allows you to scrap the pigeon crap out without entering the aviary. also mine will be about 4 feet long. so i will have to put two doors on it so i can send the birds back into the loft if i ever need to. birds love to be in the fresh air and sun. also the pigeons will sleep where they FEEL safe. most of the time this is back in the loft. but with jimmy white's discription of his, i wouldnt be surpised if his felt safe in the avairy too. i agree with what someone said about the food attacting mice. but also remember that dark dry places to build a home also will attract.

i only have two sections. breeder loft with lockable pens and my flying loft with all my other birds in it. i dont want to put my hens with any cocks. so releasing them into my flying loft is out of the question.

garlic in a healthy loft? or only in sick? add it to a gallon of water? i have been toying with planting garlic in the land behind my loft. i have alot of weeds that grow back there and either need to mow it or plant it with a low growing fast spreading plant. anyhow if i plant garlic out there can i pull up a clove in any part of it's growing cycle and use it for pigeon water? or only in its dorment state?

there is a guy. i wish i knew is name and exact details... but his loft is litterally a trailor. he spends have the year in Florida? and takes his pigeons with him on the road. if anyone knows this story and has the exact details please correct me. ;D

<wave> look another american! hehe Symbro

sorry i see that the last part of my previous post was slightly confusing. that hen i was talking about should be laying soon. she wont be allowed to keep those eggs. i was more intrested in how i should seperate my birds. they will be seperated for three weeks. so for sure there will be no eggs fertalized until after they mate when i put them back together.

I have several pairs of pigeons that i have been allowing to bond. Other than three who seem to either be missexed or too young, they have successfully bonded. Each pair has been in its individual boxes which are locked at this time. Now this week i need to seperate them. they will be seperated for three weeks. this is so that they lay all thier eggs within the same time. I have three choices in which i can do this. A) Lock the Cocks in the breeding boxes and allow the hens to run free in the breeding loft. Lock the hens in the breeding boxes and allow the cocks to run free in the breeding loft (i dont see this happening since the cocks are rather aggressive, expecially one, and there would be no hidding places if they were loose) C) Throw the cocks into the Flying loft and allow the hens to run free in the breeding loft with the nesting boxes open. to me C sounds the best since that would allow everyone some free run and allow the hens to make thier nests while they wait. This is the first year i am breeding. and all these birds are yearlings. Also i have seen at least one pair "Jump" a few times. so i know the hen should be laying eggs soon. Symbro

i have been using Hawkeye seems to be a well rounded program
