i just wondering if anybody has the same thing with their y/b when are exercising and training them when they come back they are panting i dont think its respotory as birds been done for it could it be heat and that birds are only 15 miles away and doing it in good time

[THE FIFER]

some birds do pant in this weather m8, if they are exersising and look ok, then just the heat,

You must live in the South East, they wouldn't be panting with heat over here in West Wales

anybody

[frank-123]

was told it was just a natural thing they do to cool down when it is warm

[just ask me]

dont worry about it mate there just flying hard

[THE FIFER]

probably like a dog,they sweat through their mouths

[OLDYELLOW]

pigeons dont sweat so they regulate there temperature by panting , however it could be the birds are over weight and canker can also have this effect

[Guest redlad24]

mine were doing this about 3 weeks ago, hadnt them out in three weeks and they'd only fly 5 to 10 mins land on the loft like a brick and panting, they were just over weight and not fit, put them on a lighter mix and they are grand now

Mine do it when they are young and excited at flying the first few times, but it passes and the only time they do it is when it's hot and humid, i think the Humidity is a bigger factor when they do pant, i never concern myself about it cos i know they are fine. ;)
