But make sure the birds are locked in their boxes or the feathers go everywhere when they flap about as you remove the grill  ;D

[Guest Owen]

The best tips I know are:- Do not let your pigeons control you, you must always remain in charge. Another; never have your birds sit on the house. Never loose your temper with any animal or bird. Never stare at birds or animals. Maintain a routine. Select your birds on their performances, not their looks. Test your birds in the basket before you breed from them. Teach them to come when called. Teach them to trap quickly. Never grab them. Enjoy their company.

There are loads.

[Big2bees]

Feed only AFTER flying instead of feed before flying, otherwise they will have no reason to go inside the loft as soon as they go down.

[Big2bees]

Give only the amount of feeds your birds can consume each time.

 

Avoid leftovers laying around. (Unless they're feeding youngsters)

 

Refrain from using antibiotics as much as possible.

 

Be considerate with neighbors who don't like pigeons on their roof

[mcclaff]

feed birds b4 given water.  They can have as much as they want but won't overeat. Remove leftover feed b4 putting drinker in.  If you don't the birds will go back for more after they've had a drink.

 

When breeding i use osteocare liquid in the drinkers - extra calcium, have eggs like pearls. Also baby feed(sma or similar) on feed with garlic oil.  If it's good enough for babies then it's good enough for squeakers imo.

 

Widowhood- sometimes i have a mirror about 6 x 4 inches that i put in the nestbox.  Some cocks really do hate themselves

maybe another tip comming up to mating time, yearlings cacks   be very akward in wanting two boxes,, if one persists in going into the other box, tie a short length of string on the stubborn cocks legs,, , itll soon be thrown out the wrong box ,,by the right cock

[Tony C]

Coax your pigeons, never force them.

[jimmy white]

could poss come under tips

, a sure sign of one eyed cold  is small BUBBLES ,, on the inside of the lower eyelid,, many fanciers often blame a pick in the eye,, but these bubbles will prove one eyed cold ,,a  pick in the eye might cause a watery eye ,, but without these tiny bubbles

[Guest bigda]
