HOW FAST A BIRD

[blaz]

can any one tell me how fast a racing pigeon can fly mils per hour no wind

[Guest bigda]

slugmonkey on here can tell you that one   or he would like to if asked :o ;D

[just ask me]

that  a hard one to answer as birds in different areas have different circumstances as terrain ans such

[john niko]

reading 1 ov slugmunkys commints the other week he holds the record in amreica 4 the fastest velocity i think one ov his birds flew 2500 yards a minute what would that be in speed my guess would be over 80 miles an hour and that is a guess i would like to now iv any 1 nows

[BLACK W F]

depends on type of day also they go a lot faster when percy chasing them lol

cheers Alan

[Guest Vic]

If you mean velocity wise on a straight course. These days I would say 47-49 miles per hour.

[Guest puresoontjen]

i no the answer to that its aplane  ;D ;D ;D ;D sorry mate ..i think only the bird or god will no that its only rough guessing what a bird does

[dkj]

42mile per hour with no wind

[Guest Vic]

i no the answer to that its aplane  ;D ;D ;D ;D sorry mate ..i think only the bird or god will no that its only rough guessing what a bird does

Come on mate! is this  a  wind up or not Read the original question properly. LOL

 

 

[ChrisMaidment08]

anywere between 35  and 60 miles hour

[ChrisMaidment08]

when a bird starts to fly that is its fastest point then from that is cruiseing birds donot power all the time but get into relax comfortable mode for bird to be doing nearly 80 there is strong wind up its *expletive removed*

[Guest puresoontjen]

Come on mate! is this  a  wind up or not Read the original question properly. LOL

 

come on its all guess work there a number of reasons a bird comes back quick i no what ya saying at the top ok i think its doing approx 50/60 and if the bird got good wind up it back side it will do 70/80mph

 

[Guest Vic]

CANT YOU READ. THE GUY SAID NO WIND! SOME DIK HEADS ON HERE AINT THERE?

[Gail J]

No need to shout

[carlsberg]

he 's probably on the sauce as usual

[Guest Vic]

42mile per hour with no wind

When I was secretary in my early days, I didn't need to be too brilliant to realise that the maximum speed of a pigeon was around the 1400 mark with no wind. When one considers that  a pigeon doing 45 mile per  hour is recording `1320. Things haven't really changed. Too many smart arses in the game to-day.lol. Vic.

SAYS CARLSBURG! LOL

 

 

[ribble]

I always work on about 45 mph.

[Tony C]

roughly 48mph

[Guest asha]

Well if you ask Slugmonkey, he reacons his birds fly at least60mph without any wind assistance,but then again,he also recons they grow brussel sprouts bigger than our savoy cabbages,and he also recons they have to use cartons the size of our backdoor to get their kentuky fried in,but i think the only thing big over there is slugmonkeys head 8)

[REDCHEQHEN]

I have looked at birds on the south road and birds on the north road at roughly the same time of day - and their combined velocities have been between 2900 and 3000 ypm

 

divide the two 1450 -1500 ypm or 49 - 51 mph

[Guest Vic]

I don't mind helping out. In fact, I am thinking of opening  my own site. Called:- No P*** when you fish. lol

[Guest spin cycle]

i thought we had this on another thread during the summer...and in NO wind the answer was 1400 ypm

have a look at these speeds.

[Guest slugmonkey]

45-46 is about right
