TRAINING

[alec guinness]

WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND THE CAR WAS THICK WITH FROST ANYWAY AT 9.30 THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT TO THE LOFT IT WAS ONLY 2C ALTHOUGH WITH BRIGHT SUNSHINE BUT I NOTICED PEOPLE TAKING THEIR PIGEONS TRAINING? WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT'S ON TRAINING ON A COLD MORNING THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON?

 

PS...JUST IN HALF AN HOUR AGO AND THERMOMETER IN THE CAR WAS SHOWING 6C

 

i always pick a wee team alf of about 10- 15 birds and these are trained during the winter months on good days,only short distances and will send these to the first few races.dont see a problem alf except the cold east winds,have won the first race before in a snow storm. :) :)

if you set your stall out for the distance then no need to train in this i wont be training until its right but dont hold it against any one who is training now every one to their own all the best for the season to all

 

seems to me a very fair comment,,    rather than a silly arguement ;D,, every one to his own,

 

but  just a few  miles from me at leadburn [the lothians] theres is still large snow drifts at the side of the roads and the hills still well covered in snow , in my opinion just too bad for training,, no matter what races,, jmo but its completely up to the fancier , they are managers of their own birds :-/,,,but  lets hope the weather improves ,,, for us ;D ;D ;D lol

Is there any difference to the flying round the loft for 40 mins or an hour to flying home from a 20 or 30 mile toss?

[Guest frank dooman]

when they are flying at the loft they can put down any time they want ally also if they dont head stright back as they sometime do in the early toses i just dont think it does them any  good  JMO

in my opinion a big difference ally,, birds exercising around the loft will do it at their leisure,,in fact enjoy it,,,  and take nothing out themselves,

but a 30 mile toss in this weather [in scotland anyway ;D] they change gear, in flying home, it is easy to see what it takes out the birds,, then more easily noticed in results  later in the season
