Possibly the treat of attacks from Birds of Prey, if attacked at the lib point, youngsters will go to ground and stay there. JMOhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/scotland.gif

Are they being watered in the crates? If the water has any disinfectant/steriliser in it, it needs to be completely emptied and refilled before each race or the birds won’t touch it. It can go acidic, well so our last driver told me.
