Young Birds

[sapper756]

mite sound like a daft questions but how do you manage to get all your birds out at once when i opened up the sputnik tonight 7 flew out and one was left in and by the time i got it out the others had disapeared so it didnt fly much then back dowm

 

 

I chase them out using a piece of dowling, however always be wary when a doo refuses to fly out, check it physically to make sure it is not injured from a previous fly outhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

young ones flew for an 1hr and tens mins getting longer everyday but on a bad note that wee dafty pigeon that keeps wanting to take its time getting in and flying away is kipping outside the night again ive tried no feeding it twice and sleeping out yet it still wants to stay oot

[geordie1234]

can anyone tell me what makes a pigeon trap as soon as it gets home from a race yet when you have them out they just go there fly then sit about the loft what stops them doing this on race day

[geordie1234]

Hopefully they are simply having a good look around and will return, however, you should always make sure there is no racing birds due to be liberated or fly over your loft, even on a Sundayhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Thanks mate cheered me up a thought there was something wrong

[geordie1234]

Can someone explain the natural method as I think this will be the way I will fly until I gain knowledge in the sport is it basically just kepping the oldbirds together and not splitting them

Aye the basic "natural" system is racing the doos paired to stages in the nesting cycle-chasing,eggs,youngters etc.

[Guest joshdonlan]

would still split the sexes at end of season though
