Good job my friend they not going nowhere its like a baby taking his first step walking.....your young one's are looking very beautiful 👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks so much my friend, I might be getting to attached to them lol, but I agree they are doing just fine.

[@Smokey.954loft]

That's how my young ones was acting the first day they wanted to test them wings out every bird was going every different direction but they all came back until they get used to that pattern of flying together it's going to be okay they ain't going nowhere they know where home is at

[@RichOnLife-1]

A whole better then my first time this year! Great job, your birds look great.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks Rich, I had trouble last year but I didn’t put them on the roof like I did this time so maybe that had something to do with it. The ones you have left now are real smart so there’s always an upside.

[@jaylee2016]

Oh wow, I love those black in the second round. The sky is so beautiful bro, the birds loving it.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

[@franchisefred4066]

You might need to cut down a few trees to clear up some space for flying. Arcee took down one tree in front of his loft and it made a huge difference jmho👍

[@flyersforjimmywhitedoverel7405]

Good looking birds. Great that they all came home.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks Kenneth, I was very happy things went well. It’s a little nerve-racking 👍

[@flyersforjimmywhitedoverel7405]

That's why we do what we do. The pigeon keepers adrenaline rush. LOL

Beautiful birds and beautiful video

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

[@pizzaaria]

Hi Mike nice video. The first time is always scary. They do crazy things reminds me of the first time going to school 😀 I am hlad you got them all in before dark. After three four times they should start flying and reacting to your calls. Good luck. Thanks 😘😘😘👍👍👍👍

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for watching my friend. All things considered I couldn’t be happier with how they did. I haven’t been able to let them out again yet due to weather. And now they really want to fly! 😃

[@pizzaaria]

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons I know weather has been crazy here also and on top of that hawks. The birds look great 👍

[@firebirdloft]

Great job young birds! 👍🏻

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I will tell them what you said buddy lol 😂. I hope everything‘s going well for you man sorry to hear you lost one bird from a hawk.

[@pirrgang]

It’s funny watching them try to land. Luckily my first time letting birds out ever was only 12 birds. Soon I will be letting my young birds out and it will be too many to count. Fingers crossed.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Best of luck my friend, I hope you can get some video of it. If you can get them in a cage and put them outside for a while so they can have a look around. I didn’t do that last year and my results were terrible. Best of luck🤞

[@burakloft568]

He did really good. At least you didn’t lose any birds. I know it’s really nerve-racking when your first let them out for the few times. But you and birds did great.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks for that and all the advice 👍

[@pilotmike7569]

I'm sure they were pretty excited about their first flight!😀🕊️

If I was to build a door for my Loft I've already got one as you know mike, but was thinking of building a sliding door for my Loft only issue that I can see being a problem is how to Seal the door so no Rodents or critters can sneak in for a meal?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes thats always the problem, Just can't have any openings over 1/2"

[@douglaskruger2698]

Very good idea.Keep up the good work.👏

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thank you Douglas 🙏👍

[@justinxiao9098]

I usually pull the birds out of the nest when their feathers under their wings have fully grown. If they still have pin feathers, I keep the young birds in the nest. Though the way you do things seems to work for you and I'm happy for your batch of babies.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Thanks 👍

[@yellowloft2116]

Nice are they all young birds ?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Yes they are all about two months old.

[@402killers5]

I was wondering how you got started with pigeons and who you got them from. I’m 15 started flying last year but a ferral cat climbed through the trap and killed all of them and now I can’t find anymore around here for sale.

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Plenty of carbs and fat

[@kevinnorton7759]

HI MIKE, I WOULD KEEP THEM TO THE SAME TIME FOR A BIT LONGER, WHILE THE HAWKS ARE NOT AROUND. IF THEY FIND OUT WHAT TIME YOU ARE LETTING THEM OUT THEN I WOULD CHANGE THE TIME. GOOD JOB. 🌟👍

I always like to train my young pigeons before they could fly teach them the traps and leave them outside on the loft for a hour or so

[@bennettgracesosito2757]

How much my friend? Do u have pang out?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Hi Bennett, I'm sorry but I don't understand your questions! How much for what, and what is pang out? Sorry my friend just let me know what you are asking and I will be glad to answer. Sometimes when you talk to the microphone it doesn't dictate correctly. If you want to email me you can, thanks [e-mail]

[@alandtinaperez5614]

Mike, Why would you not some of your senior birds out with them? Wouldn’t that increase the chance they would all home better?

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

I don't believe it would help because the young need to build confidence at this point and having strong fliers go up with them would frighten them especially since they won't fly in a flock for another week or two. Thanks for your thoughts 👍

[@rowesloft3476]

Great stuff mike! They went awesome, don’t let them get into bad habits of landing in trees, that’s my biggest downfall

[@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons]

Good advice mate, thanks

[@rowesloft3476]
