Droppers

[BANDIT]

What birds do you use as droppers..........i had figuritas years ago but they flew to much...anyone use fantails.

havent raced for a few years but always used fantails, also kept a couple with young birds , hopefully racing this year, think the fantails settle young birds,

Ive never had any fantails do they fly about or stay about in the garden.

I'm just starting in racing,yb's this coming season. If you are use a dropper pigeon that will sit about the loft,won't that encourage the bus to sit about instead of trapping. Or has the dropper been trained to come in at the rattle of a food can.
