Was reading the Bhw this week when i cam across an article that interested me, and thought would make a great discussion on the reasons why. Let me explain, the scribe wrote about having a young bird go astray into a top young bird fanciers loft, with the top young bird fanciers wife letting the scribe in, he caught glimpse of this fanciers young bird loft, where he only had one perch. the scribe asked him why and the fancier said "the pigeon that takes that perch is very special" and thats all that was said. He also stated another top young bird fancier had no perches but a couple of empty paint tins in his shed where his young birds would perch. Was wondering what peoples opinions on this was, and why they believe the above fanciers were on top of there game.

 

Myself personally believe it has to be about terriory where pigeons would always be competeing against the birds trying to overtake his place in the loft, and would feel it would be a great motivation, however just dont feel it would be fair on the birds with all the others sitting around the floor.

 

What are your thoughts?

Very interesting posthttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif I usually find the race birds that dominate and take up the top nest boxes, tend to be my best racers(not always, but almost)http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Myself personally ive always thought that to be a theory, ive only ever had one good pigeon occupy the top box in my lofts, maybe that also has got something to do with the family of birds housed,

i feel that it wuld be a massive motivation thing but agree i would not want my birds on the floor and to be honest the pepo boxs give us enough motivation for our young birds
