Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 every day till first race then3times week mon tues wens then round loft thurs Is that what u do with your pigeons.
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 when i was raceing yes and no it was hobby to me and never put heart into birds when i did it was much better and birds were much better for it but i got into polertics ;D ;D ;D so gave up
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 every day makes um work then they get fit and when training i never left them out you need to get them to trap as soon as home so adjust feed so they know when they arrive its in loft they soon learn and you know if you take them they will be in loft safe when you get back
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Is their a technique for getting young birds in quickly.
Guest spin cycle Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 every day till first race then3times week mon tues wens then round loft thurs weather permitting ??...i've heard of flyers who train whatever and twice a day on good days...and it seems to work. the trouble with training ybs is that your whole team is 'in the air'...if it goes wrong you are finished for season...perhaps next. established lofts can stand this hit but starting up is different. when you start with ybs concentrate on surviving for next year ...again JMO
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 yes starve um they will be in like bullets then feed in loft do not throw corn around out side if one dont come in it gets no food training thats all they soon learn

Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 if youer birds are out round loft in rain they can train in rain i have seen pigeons sitting in the rain with their wings up so i don't think that they will fly
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 they are having bath mate and will fly unless its ping down
Guest spin cycle Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 if youer birds are out round loft in rain they can train in rain but i thought that at least a 'chink' of blue sky was needed to orientate. the golden rule (i thought) was 'you can't choose the weather race day ...but you can when training'
Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 let your birds out in rain they will get used to flying in it and if they come across rain during a race are more likely to fly through it after they have exercised in it round the loft they will lie out and bathe dave
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 is it ok to train when the rain is very light but their are dark clouds are where the pigeons have to fly through
ChrisMaidment08 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 if you want good birds then they fly throw rain not sit on field or roof till it stops
Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 when training i only liberate if dry and the sky is bright i dont worry if their going to hit rain on the way home once they get going a wee drop wont stop them dave

PATTY BHOY Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 In my opinion, many people do not have their pigeons ready to be road trained for many different reasons but I believe the greatest reason the pigeons are not ready is because the pigeons are not as healthy as they should be! I am sure I will have many tell me that they have all sorts of programs to make sure their pigeons are in 100% health but in my opinion, many of these programs may be doing just the opposite of what is intended. We do not feed antibiotics to our children on a preventative basis so they do not become sick but instead we wait until there is a problem and then the antibiotic is administered. The reason for this is to allow the immune system to develop the antibodies required to keep us in a healthy state of being and anything we do that can alter this state of being will generally have what we know as "Side-effects". When we turn our pigeons loose so they can loft fly both to learn their surroundings and also to develop muscles also needs to be done at the proper time of the day. If the conditions are not proper such as too high of temperature or too little sunlight, etc., then the pigeons generally will not exercise freely so then we get excited and begin to push them to make them exercise. Imagine trying to teach an exhausted or sick person how to swim. If you put them in deep enough water, and their ability to do what is required is lacking, then they will go under and eventually be lost. It is our responsibility to begin easily and allow our pigeons the opportunity to develop BUT at some point we must also realize that some will never have any special talents or ability and our entire flock is better without their presence. All lofts have a certain number of pigeons which is appropriate for the loft and until we get down to the proper number, the loft will always be fighting and unable to reach best form and condition.
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 When i was training my pigeons i sent 20 birds training and i lost 8 of them from 10 miles and it took them 2 hours for the first one and they weather was perfect so what do you think i done wrong to the pigeons.

Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 if they were fit and healthy before confinement of a week they should of managed no problem just look at national birds sometimes held in baskets that long then fly home sometimes 700 miles
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 if they were fit and healthy before confinement of a week they should of managed no problem just look at national birds sometimes held in baskets that long then fly home sometimes 700 miles they are fantasic pigeons they could do 700 miles and then do that again the next day
Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 think you have picked up wrong only fly 700 miles once after being in baskets for up to 7 days
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 thats a long time 7 days in baskets
Guest pigeonboyno1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 would would you prefer a young bird race or old bird race
