[Guest bigda]

often thought the hardest was the  good bird  myself

Most of them will break if you are good to them and they are content in your loft I'm breaking some just now myself and it's going not too badly up till now

I HAVE BEEN TOLD by  a lot of older guys top fliers at that , that you will break a good bird no probs , i have broken birds no probs in the past sometimes you let one out and you never see it again , especially louella old birds as they have never been out to fly and dont know how to land they just fly and fly and dont stop till there miles away.

i think it all depends on if the birds have always been prisoners or have previously flown out

ive found a happy bird thats flown out before then youve a good chance of breaking

one thats always been a prisoner youve little or no chance of breaking

mind breaking a bird when i first started as a young lad,would always go back to original loft just 3 miles up the road.but when it was broke to my loft,was always in the top 5 birds from every race he was sent to.(160 miles - 380miles)great doo.

i hope you are right i have just broke 19 old birds that is my race team for this year

i beleive that good pigeons break to their  new home easier,, if given the proper chance,,,,,,, i beleive this may be contarary to most fanciers beliefs,, but in my experience have found this to be true

 

any pigeon not seeing the light of day i.e louella stud pigeons [old ones] or any pigeon that comes under these circumstances ,, will seldom home at all

the thing is we can never prove this as the birds lost on the break will never have the chance to prove what they can do! an old friend once told me worry about the birds in your loft on a sat. night dont worry about the ones that dont come home  good advice i think!!!!!

I've been breaking a few yearlings the last few days and all is going well just now apart from 1 that has gone awol : :)
