THE FIFER Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 health and motivation agree but would like to add u also need the birds.
PIGEON_MAN Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 health and motivation I think the motivation part of this answear is what i would of said,the more you can get the bird motivated i think the keener it it will be to get home hopefully at an increased speed.

carl Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 wish i knew : : ;D ;D ;D cant get my bird motivated at bedtime!! ;D Your doing it wrong then pete :P
peterpau Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 If only I could help. Can tell you how to put 'em out to 5/600 miles and get 'em but as for speed?????????????????????????????????
madmaxlofts Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 health and motivation think this is the key as well as feed
peterpau Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 So if health and motivation is the key to speed. do you think they don't need to be healthy and motivated to fly for 13 hours plus???????????????????
Beanz Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Peterpau, I would most definately say yes, even more so than land to get a pigeon to keep coming for 13 hours plus it must be healthy and the motivation for it to keep going also has to be there otherwise it would go down.
westy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 strap a rocket to it ;D ;D (only joking)
stevebelbin Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 strap a rocket to it ;D ;D (only joking) There was a bloke in our club (packed in now like), and its not as extreme as a rocket, but he used to strap weights to the birds to increase there muscle when exercising LOL LOL LOL!!! Didnt make a blind bit of difference to his performances ;D ;D ;D, but it was funny!!!

birdman55678 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Hi Guys, Im a newbie and asking for VETERANS suggestions..... How can I increase my birds speed??? Thanks in advance....! batusai! Batusai. This is a good question and one that I am sure everyone would like a cut and dried answer to. Alas here goes with my ideas. To start with you don't need great birds to increase the speed, its very possible though that the increased speed may not do any good if the birds can't get over what ever your normal YPM is. What I would suggest is adding GOOD vitimins to the water or feed on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of your race week, also add a minimum of 1/3 total safflower to your feed program, one other thing I personally do is to give the birds a couple drops of alderberry juice down the throat before basketing. I am sure there will be those that will disregard this and maybe even try to discredit it, but I would suggest giving it a try and answering the question on the clock. Guarenteed your speeds will increase, that is unless your already doing this. Good luck either way. Ed
mO Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 What about breeding pearl to pearl, my thoughts are that was the way to breed faster pigeons, fast as owt but cann't find there way home. any other thoughts on the eye for speed? yours mO.
birdman55678 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Hi mO. Yep your right, white to white will increase your speed and possibly that is the answer he was looking for, but beware when doing this as it also tends to decrease the birds homing and intelligence in the majority of the birds, its best to always stay with the yellow to white or even yellow to yellow rather than yellow to white. But thats my thoughts and I am sure everyone has different ideas. Ed
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Like this can you buy these rockets for your birds ?
