Nice looking birds.

Nice Blue, I think if I go for another breed it will be the Horsman, they are apparently a quiet breed and very friendly, also nice to watch flying out.     Blue Cheq.

CRACKING LOOKING DOOS, WHERES THE HOOD???

[Guest Jim R Ramsay]

Hi Andy,

          Just fly the pouters out, no other competition, as the nearest pouter loft is 15mls away, Also keep racing pigeons .  

                    Jim.

JIM,

    Thats unfortunate cause Im sure they would do some damage by the look of them. Only got racers myself although there is a few horsemen guys within a mile or so radius at the west of Edinburgh, quite serious competition....

are they good homers?

do they compete with other pouters?

[Guest red67]

pouters arent great homing birds a couple of miles, i have lost birds which are now hanted and flying for a guy less than 3 mile away, although some of the spanish pouters which are now becoming more popular in glasgow are far superior, there is a picture of one of anthony kellers birds on the AFCC which has been tossed out at 25 miles and came home pretty impressive for a cropper

yes seen the pic on there, there are some good links on these birds also,

Graeme,

 

I didnt know Horseman can be trained at 25 miles of Anthony's Horseman, but i though they don't fly on the road training ?

[Glassfeather]

Speight,

 

They don't. These are thief pouters, they are supposed to bring other pigeons home, so the further they range from their own loft, the better, as long as they can find their way home. Some people, a few, train their birds and toss them at a distance, usually only about 5 miles, certainly under ten, depending on how far away the nearest loft is. It was really an accident Anthony found out this particular bird could fly that distance, he was moving house and wanted to find out if his birds would, or could try to make it back to the old loft.

ohhhh , so is this why they are called theif pouters, as in birds? back to the loft?

is it true? & why?

just curious

thanks
