First let me complement on how informative your videos are awesome job. I've always been interested in the homing pigeons and was thinking about trying my luck with them. I live in the north GA mountain region and I was wondering how well they would do in this terrain. Do you have suggestions or can I train them the same as if I lived in the plains states?

[@albertwalta5193]

@@johnproper2337 You can fly and train Pigeons anywhere some places have more hawks and falcons than others and once you efficiently train yours they will mature to know how to out fly the predators you will lose some always in training to predators to some illness but definitely read up on the care and health of the Pigeons to insure your success and theirs as well.

[@Aro2220]

I wish I had a mountain and I was on it and I had a buddy who was at the base of it. I would also get a radio license and set up some gear between us so we could talk to each other. And I would probably work on making a drone that can carry little messages back and forth. I would, of course, also do the carrier pigeons and try to get those working since it's the ideal solution (pigeons are autonomous, quick, rather intelligent, very manoeuvrable, can eat trash to fuel themselves, are self-replicating from a population as small as 2, can heal, and in general are cute). I'd probably have the carrier pigeon get used to carrying a little microsd carrying case on their leg that's permanent. Like what they did for the little scrolls. Except that microsd card could have like a gigabyte of encrypted data on it. I don't know if anyone knows what a BBS is from the old days, but they used to work the same way. Each BBS was an autonomous node that you could call in directly - but they would all call each other at night and transfer messages to each other so users on one bbs could communicate with users on another bbs (eventually). Compared to modern day internet it's totally quaint... but that model could be hybrid used to build a kind of offline internet that doesn't require wires or anything. Just people passing along sd cards... and setting up carrier pigeons to do so to send the nightly update. Every morning you take the freshly made microsd card out, put it in the pigeon's leg carrier, and send it to your friend at the bottom of hte mountain. hell that could be doubly cool because you could use the radio to gather messages from the area and then put it into that card and send it around the city. btw, i don't really think anyone will ever be able to read this messages so I'm quite aware how all over the place it is. but it was fun to think about this stuff. the world is made up of people who want to train pigeons to create a new internet, and people who don't.

You are an ultimate exploiter of these sensitive beautiful domesticated birds, what if the birds that didnt make it were you and your family, its easy to be light when it’s someone else pain and suffering. Why dont you train your child to find their way home, see if they make it or not? That might be inhumane right? Why is it ok for you to exploit them just because you can?

[@fabricdragon]

as a note: older birds very often will not "re home" i have a breeder who got out of the loft, and despite having kids (and having raised a set already!) took off and flew back to his old loft. however there are some good videos about using hair mouse to temporarily inhibit their flying ability so they cant go as far, which may help

[@JaimeBlackBird]

Most of them don’t make it back! That’s why Pigeon Palomacy exists-they help find homes for all of the pigeons who aren’t killed by wildlife, dehydration, etc. When the pigeons are found & the “owner” is contacted, they don’t want the bird back-they’ll often “cull” (kill) those who are returned. I know this because I have a rescue EX-racing pigeon. She now has a wonderful, safe, happy home.

Make sure to get a good grip on them when handling them, they're very susceptible to wing damage or injury, be sure to grab them from the back tucking in their wings with your finger tips holding their belly/wings, they look pretty uncomfortable the way you grabbed them, cool vid

I have been involved with racing pigeons from being a child and one of the first things you do is learn how to handle them so to help them feel calm and relaxed with the owner and you shouldn't ruffle the feathers up. Your handling your pigeons like a bunch of flowers. These feathers need to last then until they next moult. Also your likely to damage the primary flights which are very important to them to be a successful flyer.

The first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to pigeons is Harry and Marv

Nice video except how you hold the birds. Best way to hold a pigeon is to slide your hand underneath them gripping their feet and tips of the wings between your thumb and index finger. The belly rests on your palm. Properly done and the pigeon wouldn't move even if you loosen the grip.

Thanks for the comment! I have learned so much since this video!

Can anybody assist me on how to purchase pigeons in bulk? I am in GA. Thx
