how to get your pigeons to break my birds keep spining round and round 5-6 times maybe more how do u get them to break abit faster

[THE FIFER]

do you mean from a race or toss,

[OLDYELLOW]

fly them , get them in don't feed before training them , then there less likely to fly for fun

[irish_mat]

yes race and tosses

[TREBLE D]

i have found when training give 5mins settle time before you let them go, and also if you take them to the same point this also helps but when your birds are in good form and motivated you will see a big differance in the time it takes to clear it doesnt matter where from they do 1 turn and off

Agree with TREBLE D, give the birds settle time before you liberate them. After all that's done with the birds in the transporter at the racepoint. Researchers reckon it helps birds get a 'fix' on their current location -vs- their home location. Would explain the half turn in the sky and bee-line for home you get if you give the birds 10 minutes 'settle time' before you let them go.

Have found it simply to be repetition.

 

SHORT AND OFTEN builds confidence in pigeons

 

There was a wee spell when our doos were doing well from the shorter races.They were more or less tossed twice a day from the same point and all let go at once.When we took them tossing they wouldn't even burl and if it was a nice day on raceday they would come in their 10s and 20s.If it was a stiff day however they'd be found wanting.

 

Going for a different approach these days-kinna fancy myself as a Billy Bigtime
