I lived in the country, rescued a pigeon with a broken leg. Kept her all winter, in the house. In spring , drove 30 mins away to release her where she came from, the city. Fast-forward a few months, I moved to the city. I started feeding the wild pigeons and one day she showed up. I know it's her . Her leg is unmistakable. She was a yr old when I released her . She's 5 now and still comes every day, with her mate, and last year her young one. I hope yours come back. ❤️🇨🇦

Whow!!

[@Muhammad786]

You should never force pigeons out and before you let them out you need to trap train them also never fly breeders

[@nickistevens4328]

Well I fly my breeders but I no not to fors them

[@abcloft302]

Yup 👍 never force out . Also some stay and some don’t is the game

[@ebibby7039]

@Caleb Niko you don’t deserve a girlfriend

@Marlyn Mascioli your literally such a creep you don’t deserve her

[@princess_glitzy424]

@@ebibby7039 what?

[@justinemonte6735]

After you caught all of your pigeons you must put them in a cage in one month after one month you can release them and they will come back if they have a babies to feed don't push them to go back to the cage they will go inside on their own and you must feed them every day and you must watch them and talk to them your presence in the cage will be very important because your sense is they map for them to come home if they have go further distance this is my advice because that is the routine we do here in the Philippines thank you

[@whitemewhite4281]

Hello I just bought two big pigeons fully mature at what number should I start flying them

[@ronherman6033]

On adult previously flown birds...I have cut all the primary feathers on one wing on birds. Kept them in loft for 2-3 weeks and then let them fly. 90% of time they stay on loft or on house...and have had 50/50 luck on them staying around. The last two ended up disappearing after homing for 6-8 months....one first and then other...think it was a Coopers Hawk. So this time got 5 never flown young birds....to try.

[@seamus6994]

I was going to comment the same thing. When they have babies, they always return. Same with the same noise when feeding time comes. Make the noise, (Whistle, shake a feed can, whatever) and they come back.

[@easyrider3903]

I put food in a cookie tin and when I feed them I shake the tin every time. Then when you fly them make them hungry and then shake the tin they will come back.

[@Johnny-WaIker]

Oh no Bobby. You should never force them to go outside the coop, instead at least just let the door open and let the pigeons decide wether they go out or not and that way it's up to them if they gonna come back or not.

[@northshoreireland1074]

Love the pigeon vids. Just a few tips Bob, feed the birds about a tablespoon each bird for three days then on the fourth day open the door and let them be and then in the evening call them with the same whistle or call you normally use and feed them. Keep them slightly more on the hungry side and try to fly them more and more often they will be flying better in no time.

[@teddysniper5573]

You should have never force them out!!!!

[@nathanbrowne2800]

A general rule is if there not back by the third day there probably not coming home . You should make a nice big flight pen on the top of your loft . This allows the birds to see there surroundings in a relaxed state . Good luck for the future.

[@billedwards8861]

Add a landing board at front of loft going in where double doors are than they'll land on it walk into loft

[@killintime8431]

This was a lil sad 😔

[@jaredhaylock6945]

Never force them out, just leave the doors open, they normally go out a few at a time at the start and they know it’s safe to come back the way they left

[@olegkozyniak2703]

Do not keep them closed. Open the door and let them fly on their own. Now that they have come back they will stay and fly around.

[@christrella3134]

The only thing I can add to this is stuff that has been said. Keep them hungry, NEVER force them out. Yeah, if they've never flown outside? They get winded easily. Definitely make a fly pen/ screened portion that they can see in all directions before you try again. Hopefully, you got them all back and keep letting them out. Even if there's only half back? Those are your foundation birds. Good luck!

[@aerla6576]

Get the birds used to a grain bucket ! Here in Turkey we fly birds all the time and when we need the birds back in the coop we just shake the bucket and sprinkle some food in and around the coop/loft they go inside almost immediately

[@taeandresan1752]

just a tip if you want to fly your pigeons yuou need to condition them then put a little colored flag on your loft then make a trap door for them to enter after flying so you can close the door of your loft and still they can enter thru the trapdoor

[@natspencer5799]

You are literally the worst pigeon trainer ever. HAHAHAH! Luv it!

[@mantis_monk]

Awesome piece of land bro. I love our rooftops in NYC but, this is my dream...

[@kristinabliss]

I learned from president of local pigeon racing club. Build a vestibule platform enclosure around their one-way entry that you can put them in hungry until they figure out how to go in and eat. Design it to fold down in front of the one way entry to function as a platform where they can land. This way, they know how to get back in their home well before they fly.

[@maryblountchow8406]

You have to make a trap on the loft than trap train them to a signal

[@DOVEBARKADZTV]

Wow nice loft 😁

[@Oasis_Desert_Rose]

In Egypt we let them out only 30 minutes before sunset so they sure come back before dark... we also put up a flag as a marker...

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

No worries Man. You'll get some more.

[@ebibby7039]

So he can lose them again and let them die out in the wild. People who don’t do research before doing risky stuff don’t deserve animals at all

[@devinmiller2179]

Bob why did you let them out they are homed to your other loft and there is a trap on it you need to train them to it

[@myclips55]

U should breed all the birds in the lofts

[@myclips55]

That might be confusing to read but I meant to say the pigeons inside the loft aka the ones who returned u should breed

[@WebfootNwildfish]

What you should have did to make homing pigeons is you don’t feed them for like 3 or 4 days then you let them out and throw food then they know where to eat and they come back

[@MohammadIslam-kl6tz]

Late to comment but i have at least 10-15 different types of pigeon black, white and brown. I let them out but first before you let them out you chuck food on the floor to show them that you care and that even they go out that you will feed them and hopefully they should come back to you and in the cage as my pigeon the fly and come back to the cage all of them.

[@shelbydishon9746]

Keep Tristan around, i like that guy

[@outdoordoug8588]

It’s ok if not all of them come back. Only the ones with good homing instincts will come back so you cAn breed them.

[@sunshinecoasttrailcam]

If you let your cocks out only, the first few times, 8f they have mates, they quickly return. They will show the other birds what to do. I leave my lofts open unless to windy, always. Breeders are trapped but, they can leave, babies cant. If they are mated and happy, they will always come back. They put themselves to sleep before dark, like chickens. I close traps later and fly my teams, no breeders. (If im using fake eggs, i fly them)

[@taivaj8303]

Love the videos. Might have to pluck a few feathers out enough for them to move around in the coop. And then let them step outside in and out til they know where to exit in and out.

[@southernoutdoorsmen1243]

Got behind on videos, binge watching all of them now😂❤️

[@BobbyGuyFilms]

that’s awesome

[@michaelpurvis4019]

Good luck, i only put my birds in the coop fot 2 weeks and then opened up the door. They all came back. This has always worked for me.

[@williampaiva7296]

I really love all your videos man!!! I live in Massachusetts in a small city so I have no hunting out here but I do magnet fish! Kinda jealous to not be out there in the country like you

[@madan8921]

let them walk on the ground for 2-3 days and train them to go in and out of loft while taping their wings

[@bignature42o]

I feel you shouldn't have forced them out next time let them fly on their own and don't feed them that day until they come back then feed them so they want to come back

[@65FullMoon83]

I agree with this comment totally. Never overfeed & keep them hungry. They're much easier to train if kept hungry as well. Only reward them with some food when they return.

[@bknight6396]

You never let of them out they come back for the mate ....that is the only real incentive

[@Gravity222]

When you let them out for the first time, DO NOT, DO NOT chase them out from your coops 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 . They may never come back !!!! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@davidkemmerling6107]

love the vids keep it up by the way I don't care to much about the magnet

[@David-xv5hd]

Love it . Settling pigeons to the loft . It's a mare . U should have kept the food off them for 24hrs . That way they'd have come back in for food . Then opened the door and let them come out and do their own thing . Chasing them out was the worst ucould have done . The ones that came back are settled . NEXT TIME . Open the door , walk away and let them come out on their own . Get them straight back out there. Nice try though Bob . Good luck . Love the vids 👍👍

[@jasonwhite7641]

Bobby if it was released June 1st id already have it! lol Can't wait for July 1st when the DUX all meat seasoning comes out!!

[@hamradiobatteriesnotinclud2562]

Right I thought that's what he said and in Jordan's vid he said July 1... lmao!!

[@bennystropicalswimmigwolf8691]

very good looking pigeons

[@irvingramirez1071]

The way they threw them out 😂

[@dogs734]

Before you let the out to fly, make sure they do fly on an empty stomach. They will fly & exercise better & they will enter into your pigeon coops when food is available for them. Trap train them also, so that way they will be able to gain entrance to the lofts. Always fly them on empty stomach then call them in with food. Lovely pigeons by the way & a good loft setup.

[@Flicxk_Ghost]

Never force the birds out let therm go out on there own and don’t feed therm the day before you let therm out

[@aamin5084]

If you really want to enjoy flying get Tippler pigeons & also you have to train them properly have to have a aviary so they can look around get familiar with the area so they will come back good luck

[@Sean-kg7vh]

So I’ve been thinking about getting a pigeon and I heard that noise while I was driving and thought it was your pigeon calling. I literally said well fuck I’m not getting one of those. Relieved to see it was just your friend. Thanks for great video.

[@cnt7596]

When you are letting birds fly for the first time you don’t want to force them out let them go by themselves.

[@Sebas-rt8pf]

I love the videos! I hope you read this to help your pigeon loft, I seen a few mistakes you did by rushing the birds out on there first time out your posed to let them out by themselves some bird might not be ready for to fly out some take there time and you recently moved the pigeons probably didn’t get a good chance to see there surroundings and still could be used to your old house as home or the other loft they came from so you put your birds in a cage few feet away from the loft so they can see all there surrounding for an 1 hour each day if they young birds 3 year olds or less 2 weeks doing that would be great the older the bird the longer you might want to do it maybe for 3 weeks or 4 I have successfully loft Federal pigeons and racing pigeons, I hope you do too! I hope Jordan see this too and try it would be amazing to see 200+ pigeons flying together around the barn 🤘

[@hokahey6230]

Hey bobby.. 7/1 1230am central time.. order 3 dux seasoning.. can't wait bro...

[@SYEDENAM100]

If you starve them before letting them out they always come back

[@tburg60]

Hi. I saw your video and thought I'd send you some ideas. First, somewhere, on your coop, build a landing board up high and with no legs to the ground as racoons will climb them, get in and eat your birds. second, using traps just like you have on your trap on top of the coop, cut a hole in the side that just fits your traps and then put the traps in the hole. Now you have a doggy door type entrance for your birds. Before you release them, build a little 2'x2' cage with one side open and place the open side against the coop where the traps are that you just put in. Put all your birds in the cage and then put food in the coop. Each bird will eventually navigate the traps and go in. Do this 4 or 5 times then when you let them out they have a door to go in and they know how to go in. After that, you just let them out and hope for the best.

[@robertgonzalez-bringas5932]

Add a trap entrance where u r keeping the birds, so they can enter but not leave and can’t fly away when they wake up

[@sprayandprayhunting5711]

Love the vids bud late today,went spearfishing all day

[@fanofwizard101]

Good luck in getting all your pigeons back bobby btw how's fred doing?

[@seangere9698]

The Adults will go back to where they hatched at if they are or have homing blood in them. If not they are gone for good. They done flew the coop. If you want to keep them from flying back out you need a one way door. Basically a small door that they can push open when they come in but can't push back out. And easy one is to use a series of vertical metal bars about the thickness of chain link fencing and have a swivel point at the top. Have them spaced far enough apart that they can fit their heads through and they will push through. You may need to train them a little first by hand. It also works for doors on traps. It's used quite a lot here in Germany. Also you should use slide down doors just big enough for the birds to get out. You just open the doors and let the birds go out on their own and not push them. Once they are all out just shut the slide doors and have a small perch for them to land on with the one way doors there. They should be side by side or they may become confused and just fly back off and not return. Guess I should've waited a little more. The swing door like what's on the trap, lol.

[@miljannikolic509]

Your big mistake is that you caught pigeons, you didn't let them come out on their own!

[@fakiinaaman848]

[@renezboja4282]

If your want pigeons to go out you cant push them to fly they must go out by them self

[@deanguando1335]

You live and learn.

[@A7MEDB24]

Done everything wrong trying to fly those pigeons. You have breeders don't fly them. Try the babies yes . They won't go anywhere as long as they see pigeons "on floor" . Try to watch how Egyptians fly the pigeons you'll learn lots of tricks. I wish I was close to your state I would love to spend some time with you guys and explain more of how to fly pigeons . I had pigeons since I was 12 years old back in Egypt. You guys would love to have some of Egyptian pigeons too . Good luck

[@thetalkingdevil2501]

You don't ever fly a bird that you trapped, they most likely to never come back. You keep them as breeders and fly their babies that are born in your loft.

[@landinbehrends2233]

Hey Bobby it is July 1st for the dux season

[@bobahchannel2289]

Bobby, make a vintage for the pigeons, like we do. This is a simple cross-shaped shelf for pigeon landing. On this perch they will land after they have made a fly-by from the dovecote. And you will always control them. Other hunters won't shoot them!

[@everetthobbies2062]

Where I’m from if a pigeon lands on a different house or a place it’s not supposed to they teach them to land on one place and that’s it if one lands on different house they pluck their feathers till it learns

[@ofcourseitsking6038]

And also you can tape their first four feathers on each wings and release them. They won’t be able to fly, that way they will get use to the area

They are wild birds they probably just flew away! But the ones that stayed behind have some homing ability which if you keep breeding them, you should have some nice homing barn pigeons.
