How does moon Effect the birds?

[Guest llcoolj]

Somebody said if you train birds during full moon (Not night off course). they tend to loose their way back home. HOW TRUE IS THIS?

 

 

[Guest stb-]

not true as we would loose our birds every month at that time

i think he means when the sun& the moon are in the same sky

 

yes you can get funny races with that , but thinks its more to do with the clear skies with no cloud as thats the only time you see it,

 

also often in easterly wind

 

 

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

[Guest southern and mason]

a dnt train on a day lyk that a think it nocks them off ther line of flight

[Guest Owen]

I do not know much about full moon and pigeons. But my Father followed the cycle of the moon when he was involved in farming. He did the same thing in his garden. He reckoned that the moon had a major influence on the animals and plants. All I know is that he was very successful at both farming and gardening.

my mate won't train on day sun and moon up 2gether don't know why we do and can't remember any probs!

There was a spell towards the end of the racing season that sun & moon were visible here in the sky together from early morning for weeks on end. I agree with what you say about clear skies because its said the clouds obscure the moon from ourselves during the day, because it is certainly up there all the time whether we can see it or not.  

 

But that's just us, we are not creatures of the sky, and I don't believe for a minute that the birds aren't aware of the moon in the sky 24/7, or the stars too for that matter. But us seeing it during the day certainly seems to shake our confidence.  ;D

if this is what is meant,,, i,e sun /moon in the sky visable  at the same time,during the day,  i have to say ive always found on these occasions a strange race can occur,, why, i honestly dont know, my only guess could be, as the homing pigeons seem to rely a lot, on the sun, for direction,, with both sun and moon visable,, could this possibly confuse them?

[DOVEScot]

The sun and a full moom were in the sky yeasterday :-/

[ritchie1]

sun and moon up together is a bid thing to see no use will loose birds by the dozzens seen it happen just this year

[Guest]

ive noticed that young hens (dont race old hens) fair better on a race day than cocks(any age) when the moon is also visible on a race day? any roundabout flyers any comment on this??                             andy.

[Guest Glen]

A full moon increases fertility,thats what my forefathers and natives believed. They would allways plant crops,pair livestock,and make and decant their spirits on a full moon.Glen.

seeing no one is answering andy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D [feeling sheepish ;D],,,, i would say that in my opinion, young hens usually  race better than young cocks in yb racing  in general , in my opinion , some of these large  young cock  birds take longer to develope,,    but only my thoughts
