I fail the string test. I dropped mine . You’re right , putting the bands on the holder is nerve recking and not to be taking lightly. Birds look great 👍🏼

[@RFRP]

I have failed that test many times 🙄😆

[@Don_Loft97]

😂😂 same here brother

[@fabricdragon]

Saaaame. But i trained on stone bead strings so you would think I'd be better

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Babies looking good! Hopefully they get to growing so you can get a few sent out.

[@RFRP]

Grow, grow, grow!

[@fabricdragon]

they sure do go through the minerals and grit. every day of breeding season i am regretting not buying more at the show when i could skip shipping fees! let this be a lesson to all of you, minerals are HEAVY- take full advantage of any shipping deals!

[@RFRP]

Very true about the shipping costs $$$

I cleaned my nest boxes yesterday... Funny, each of the day to day task around the loft that you have gave warnings for- I think I have failed each. Dropping the bands is a different level of frustration. I love the individual breeding lofts. Looks great. I bet they give you more motivation each day to get out to the loft.

[@RFRP]

Dropping the bands is frustrating indeed 😆 Thanks for the well wishes Jeff!!

Nice baby !!

[@RFRP]

Thank you!!

[@zperformanceloft]

Looking good boss man!

[@RFRP]

Thank you!! A slow start but we are gaining some momentum

[@zperformanceloft]

@@RFRP haha do you feel we will have a major disadvantage since our yb will be one of the youngest to the races?

[@eydelolmos489]

I put wire floor for my nest and they keep them nest dry and dropping get dry faster to

[@RFRP]

That is the best way to do it!!

Whoa! Controversial statement of the day "birds do not have teeth". Fact checkers will be checking your statement momentarily. Babies all looking good 👍

[@RFRP]

😆 Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure there are a few modern day birds that still have remnant vestigial teeth. 😬 Thanks my friend!

[@jasonjordan9101]

@@RFRP 🤣 quit making me have to search "which birds have vestigial teeth?" That then leads down a rabbit hole and I have no plans to use that information in my day to day life.

[@Razorloft8802]

I always thought geese had teeth lol

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@@jasonjordan9101.. No need too.. There are no modern day birds that have teeth. Some do, however, have jagged ridges along the edges of their beaks, but no actual teeth... The last bird known to have real teeth was the "Ichthyornis".. Follow me for more Ornithological advice! 😂

[@KarimsPigeonLoft]

Where did you buy this grit from? It's looks good. Can you tell me please.

[@RFRP]

I bought different elements at different places. Maybe I’ll make a short video on it

[@fabricdragon]

Please do! ​@@RFRP

[@KarimsPigeonLoft]

@@RFRP please, it will help us.

[@stevenspainhower5493]

You made me laugh today!

[@RFRP]

Ha! I’m glad! 🙂

[@icc64]

Stay blessed. I raised pigeons when I was a kid . A lot of cleaning .love theme even now . Beautiful birds 🐦

[@RFRP]

@@icc64 thank you!

[@fabricdragon]

that black with a white head that is "feisty" and maybe going to california? let me know if they become available, although all of them look great

[@RFRP]

👍🏼 Thank you!

[@edluciano504]

How big are your kickboxers reason I asked I got a small driveway and I want to get a couple of birds in

[@RFRP]

The individual breeding pens are 36" x 34" x 29". Good luck!

[@Don_Loft97]

I let go of the string 😂😂

[@RFRP]

I’ve done it more than once!!

[@andrewyoung9276]

Knocking and saying housekeeping made me laugh

[@RFRP]

☺️☺️☺️

[@icc64]

Beautiful pigeons but so dirty. Eating and pooing all day and nite of course. , but Beautiful pigeons ❤❤❤

[@RFRP]

Thank you!! Ha! Yes, that is what they do!

[@dirkvoges6218]

I would be afraid of rats or raccoons biting through the outside boxes.

[@RFRP]

Predators are always a risk. Notice that I put two layers of wire underneath for that very reason. the wire layers are separated by nearly 2 inches.

[@dirkvoges6218]

@@RFRP I meant the door, it just looked like tissue.

[@RFRP]

@@dirkvoges6218 Oh! I see. There is a heavy gauge wire front on the door. The plastic is just an interior curtain that keeps the birds from flying out when I open the door

[@fabricdragon]

baby nests are HORRIBLE dirty messes.

[@fabricdragon]

Mine are much worse than yours because they INSIST on being floor nesters

[@RFRP]

Yes indeed!!! 🤢

[@ranahasan5266]

Hi How are you please give me one pair of racing pigeon

[@RFRP]

I occasionally have some for sale. Where are you located?

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@@RFRP ... Overseas obviously.
