Michael is quite right even training is fraught with danger, I am always envious when I go to other places and see young pigeons ranging the sky.I am very sad to say it but in this area the peregrines have won, I have seen the whole Lanarkshire convoy split and dispersed by on falcon

big cal are you in a housing scheme if so that is some doing 2to3, hours, when we had them in the scheme we could hardly get half an hour hence we had to train a lot

[walterboswell59]

mines do the same here in whitehill chad light feeding and a wee pick before they go out and they go for hours if they dont i flag them till they get the idea m8 but once you start them traning they stop ranging then i make them do one hour with the flag

mines would still go ranging ok but often a good lot dont come back and can be scattered over days with percy but for some reason it dosent stop them ranging again , i hate it when they range along the hills wish they would just fly round the loft for a few hours to be honest .

[geordie1234]

How you feed them and the weather dictate how they fly not if they are in a housing scheme in my opinion.
