George IV Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 fairways,In post 6 how long did the pigeon who toured the borders take to arrive home. It looks like it didn't get far away from the liberation point for a while. Like the idea of being able to track the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairways Posted June 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 For the people that have not seen it in action hears how it works You buy the kit from china around £260 with this you get 5 rings and 5 dummy rings the dummy rings are to put on the birds at home to get them used to them You also get all the kit to load into your computer it uses google earth to map themYou set the ring at a time that you wish the ring to be active from this can be hours or days in the future when activated the battery lasts up to 9 hours I set it around the time i expect to be liberating at. some times as in the small picture i set it to early and you can see the car journey before liberation at Carlisle and Gretna The rings cost £30 to replace also i will point out that i had to pay a further £60 in duty to the customs before delivery On return you down load the ring info this tells you distance between lib point and home address average speed- height and distance travelledYou can see on at any point the birds height and speed You can set the logger to take readings at different intervals Hope this goes some way in explaining how it works Abetter more in-depth explanation can be found on youtube got to ALOHA PIGEONS he shows you and explains very well how it works and how to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neila Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 My mates got that system , found his birds tend to stick close to a main road then they seem to start to make for his loft at a large roundabout so they flew a L shape rather than cutting the corner, I wouldn't have believed it unless he had showed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
