Josh123slater Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I've had the young birds out for a few weeks now, they are flying for an hour then trapping very well. But they only circle just above rooftops and don't go very far from loft maybe a street over either way. Any ideas why this could be? I'm starting to get very dizzy watching them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Chequer Pied Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Mine do that when the peregrine is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryngwynt Lofts Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Mine do that when the peregrine is about. That’s what I was thinking,a sure sign.Staying low and close to roof tops,nice and safe on roof tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dal2 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 It used to be an old fanciers tale that the birds needed wormed if they flew tightly not far from the loft......as I say maybe just a tale.....but if you ain't wormed them then maybe so.ething to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I wouldn’t worry if they are flying over an hour and not ranging, if they been doing this 3 weeks or more it would be a respiratory treatment and in the basket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.massey Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I’d say either hawks about (mine do it and they see it before I do)Or maybe respiratory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 It used to be an old fanciers tale that the birds needed wormed if they flew tightly not far from the loft......as I say maybe just a tale.....but if you ain't wormed them then maybe so.ething to think about I also think if the birds don't do just one circle or half circle and go from a training toss it's good to worm themIf they fly around 4 or 5 times from a toss they could well need worming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenlands Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 They're babies they'll range when they are ready. If anything I've found canker to be a problem especially when training and not leaving the lib site right away,that or BOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
