Training birds to break!!!!

[Guest Grasshopper Lofts]

How can we teach our birds to break for home or isnt this possible

[b.massey]

Think training them from a place that you think the batches cross over is a good start. I train from a place where you first see pentland hills and believe that training from this point a few times a week helps as when they get to this point they could close there eyes and find home quickly

alot depends where you situated in the fed  if on line of flight no problem , birds just drop out

if your well off line then its harder as most birds are like sheep and will keep going , untill the batches break up a bit

[Guest]

the best way ive found is after they are well roaded

train with someone from an area a couple of miles from you or more

(preferably around the same distance from lib point )

by puting them up in pairs or 4s 1 or 2 from each loft

they learn to break from the other lofts birds

and will get into the habbit of breaking at a certain point

G'day Grasshopper,

if you haven't got it already, make it your business to get hold of a copy of Ronnie Bigwood's 'Cracked It' volume 1 and digest, then re-digest the information contained within and just when you think you can digest it no more, have another nibble!

 

It is the BEST 'how to' video on the successful training and racing of young pigeons in my own humble opinion.  

 

Ronnie Bigwood also formulated 'System X' for the reknowned Spence & Nicholls partnership, he knows his onions alright!

Well Ronnie tells you so on 'Cracked It' Ryan, so anybody who has seen it would know  

 

The reason I mentioned it was more for the benefit of Grasshopper and anybody who may not have seen it yet.
