Young Birds

[frank-123]

Just had the ybs out for the first time since tuesday after keeping them in and sticking to a routine that suited feeding at the exact same time and measured amounts each burd

 

The differance is unbelievable as soon as they saw me coming out the house they were all down like bullets and through the trap is was such a gd feeling having the control over them and not having them sit all over the buildings and they are all flying well

 

I also noticed aswell after feeding that some are starting to show or trying to but they are fighting aswell is this normal

 

just normal youngbird behaviour good to see your a bit happier with your birds

Good to see the optimism Geo, yes the fighting and squabbling is perfectly fine, they are sorting out the hierarchy within the loft, they will sort themselves out, but will STILL fight over just about anything. :D

Tell me about it 3 of mine nearly got blown into a house yesterday

[JohnQuinn]

Its like bleedin March out there, its just no givin up!!

[geordie1234]

got mine out when i came home from work and glad a did it was the first time the 9 of them were all up together they were like dots in the sky higher than ever before they were up for 15-20 mins and straight as soon as they landed on the house roof a took them in for there feed im trying to get them not to even land on the house roof so everytime they do there flying and land do you think its best just get them in insted of sitting about then eventually theyll be flying a lot longer and bang straight in

[geordie1234]

or do you think its important for them to get time out the loft rather than just doing there flying then in

[geordie1234]

Thought about it but I only got the first ones 3 weeks tomorrow so as I don't really know the sport a didny know if I've got time to get them ready race any thoughts on this would help

 

The initial plan was to keep them through the winter take there ybs and race them next year but would love to get tore in

[jonl6280]

if you don't feel you can catch them for the first or second race then you will defo get them in the comeback race

you will find them advertised most weeks in the BHW, and yes you can fit and remove them as you deem necessaryhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif
