Great to see an update from you Sean! Been a while since the last update, but its nice to see that your 2018 young birds are well on their way! Looking forward to more video updates. And hopefully an update to your hand-raised bird👍

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks! The hand raised bird is doing good will be in one of the next videos. Aloha, Sean

[@torimarciel2919]

Thankfully you and all the pigeons made it home safely. That was pretty crazy. Good luck throughout the racing season!

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thank you!

[@pascuafamilylofts2262]

I love watching your video Shaun but let me tell you , this is the roughest pigeon training I have ever seen. Hehe. I actually got sea sickness. Can't wait for your next video. aloha. Noel, CA.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Lol, yeah, this is how not to train pigeons. Thank you!

[@LuisManuelHdez]

Wow! Dont go overboard and get stranded out there!!! Dangerous pigeon training for sure.

[@bradygamble214]

I look forward to all your videos. Best pigeon info and amazing content can't wait to see you release more videos

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thank you very much!

[@dewaynegibson467]

Keep the videos coming, enjoy seeing your loft and your training methods.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks!

[@bettawhisperer3119]

SEAN!!! R U F#(KN CRAZY!!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??!!! YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!! Ok, for those who watch this video... Ive seen this boat 1st hand and it is as small as it looks!! Sean, pls for the love of all things that fly, just take them to that point on Moloka'i. Don't risk that channel again. Although i have to say i do feel a little bad as well because you did ask me if you should take them there and i said any experience the birds can get is a good thing, i also forgot how treacherous that channel is. Again, for the benefit of those that dont know, the water is almost always like that because the wind gets funneled between the islands so is always blowing hard. I must say Sean, this years team looks way better than last years does. Pretty much all the way around. Looking forward to your future vids.

[@andrewbelfort2977]

You almost fell Sean! come on man!!!. lols

[@alohapigeons9440]

Yup! A little sketchy being out there that day. Aloha, Sean

[@Ruckercouplings]

Hey Sean, I was getting sea sick watching but nice job! Love your passion!!

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks!

[@gregthornthwaite8011]

Shaun, Im betting a lot of your birds are Gaby Vandenabeels ....?? All the best from Australia.

[@abdelillahelmar4578]

i'm a pigeon fancier from Morocco and i love your videos.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@leardi58]

Why did you stop making videos. New to the channel and like watching especially the ones with the GPS

[@kingziemac2859]

GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS SHAUN!! I WAS FEELING SEA SICK JUST WATCHING THE VIDEO!! LOL SINCE YOU ARE DOING YOUR SEA TRAINING YOU NOW HAVE A GREAT EXCUSE TO BUY A BIGGER BOAT!!LOL AND YOU FORGOT TO PUT ON THE PIGEONS LIFE JACKETS!! LOL AM GLAD I DONT HAVE TO SEA TRAIN MY BIRDS!! MY FEET ALWAYS STAY ON DRY LAND!!

[@808SunriseLoft]

wow 😯 that was unreal, 😝, glad all went well with your overseas release. Your birds are looking great 👍🏻. Keep those updates coming I really eant to see how your birda do this season.

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

Dominic Lapinig unreal uhhhh .....

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

The most interesting and best video on pigeon toss I’ve ever seen. Sean, took it to the extreme. I would loved the ride out. Even it was a little bumpy ride going out. And yes, why did you do it again. It seems it was a little risky trying to steer your 14 footer ( you need a bigger boat next time ) adjusting your camera and of course trying to carry and handle your bird case. Almost went overboard . All at once. Great video and info once again. Look forward on the Molokai toss. Hopefully they will do well. On GPS tracking birds seems to follow same path as previous tosses. On 54 birds release did you have some old birds accompanying YB's.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks! Out of the 54 released today, 2 were old birds. Bigger boat for sure. Time is ticking away and I need to get the birds to Molokai so I kind of rushed this training when I had time off from work. I canceled the Molokai training tomorrow because I was advised it would be better to wait until the military rim pac training concludes this Thursday. So maybe Molokai toss later this week.

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

AlohaPigeons certainly a good idea .... Life jacket ?

[@alohapigeons9440]

I had a life jacket in front of my seat.

[@strefalotow9153]

Proszę o więcej filmów związanych z trasa przelotu ptaków z systemem GPS!!!!Cool...!!!!

[@joshking1721]

Hi aloha pigeons, love your videos. what is the name of the gps trackers you use with your pigeons? And where do you get them from?

[@alohapigeons9440]

The company is Skyleader. You can contact them directly through their website or purchase through Amazon or eBay. Aloha, Sean

[@joshking1721]

Thank you Sean 🕊

[@frankrivera4479]

Hi Shawn has any of your young birds from 2018 that you released from your 60 mile toss come back yet.

[@carlonoell6831]

Maybe a bigger boat next time? Haha I was getting nervous seeing you struggle like that especially when you were releasing the birds! Anyway, nice video as always. Goodluck!

[@alohapigeons9440]

Yup, bigger boat would be nice. Thanks

[@danielherman4588]

I would like to see the route they take from some of the other islands. Hope you can put the GPS tracking bands on for tomorrow! Keep up the good work. How is the conditioning going with the trapping ques? Have you noticed quicker entry into the loft? Thanks, Dan

[@alohapigeons9440]

I had to cancel the first release from Molokai a few days ago but tomorrow we are back on. I have heard there have been a lot of losses this year for those that have just gone to Molokai. The birds are trapping wonderfully now so that should not be a problem on race day. I will have a GPS tracking band on one old bird and one young bird tomorrow so assuming they make it home I will include the data in the next video. Aloha, Sean

[@danielherman4588]

Good Plan. It will be fun to see the route.

[@danielherman4588]

How did it go today with the Molokai release. Can't wait to see how the route looks from the GPS bands.

[@alohapigeons9440]

54 released on Molokai this morning about 3.5 hours ago. I just got home and zero have made it back. They should be back by now but hopefully they will show up this afternoon. If not, that was the season for me. Wish me luck!

[@danielherman4588]

Any tracking info? Can you tell before they get home or do you need to wait til you have the band in hand?

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

How's it going hope every thing is fine. Just was thinking about this crazy idea. Most flyers would be training on a land line. I wanted to give birds a little more. Give them more sight and smell of the ocean, land and know where West is. Release areas would be Lagoon drive, Magic island point, Hawaii Kai boat harbor and Sandy beach later in the afternoon maybe 4:30 - 5:00 pm. Maybe too a good motivation factor. Hopefully they would sense the ocean and not get to shell shocked. When there released from the neighbor islands.

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

Have fun doing Molokai fly. Lots of losses now that is a concern. I'd hope before one would try Molokai fly. Birds should be in some flying condition and have milage under there wings, before one attempts to fly that route.

[@alohapigeons9440]

7:00am flight to Molokai tomorrow! I'm nervous. Could lose all of my birds. Birds are in better shape this year than last year so hopefully that means they will do okay.

[@arcee33]

Exciting and crazy at the same time. Next time take a fishing pole with you since you were out there.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Yup!

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

Sean, how does it look .... Hope all birds made it home ....

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

On your scheduled training season. How many weeks and days within a week do you train birds.

[@alohapigeons9440]

As much and as soon as I can. I would train on Oahu every day if I could.

[@tingruiguo9677]

Hello Aloha,I am a pigeon fancier from Taiwan. It's interesting, i like it.

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

Tingrui Guo Do you race birds in Taiwan. Very tough races to compete in. Need to qualify and qualify and finally real race. Rain and stormy weather you folks fly birds. Must have a lot of good birds that don't make it. Maybe should be there at sea plucking birds out of the ocean.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Taiwan, that's great! Thank you!

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Great video as always.. Aloha! ;-)

[@Dannyracingpigeons]

great video I love watching, You are a class act!!!!!!

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thank you! I enjoyed reading your ebook!

[@Dannyracingpigeons]

I also thank you.

[@heavyhitter1579]

Great job

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks!

[@keeganmorehen1152]

Well done sean..😉 You enspire me

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks!

[@arrowheadlofteast9863]

Great video as always!!! I hope I can get as many followers and views as you!!! Keep up the good work...Should do a video on how you got started recording and posting your videos!!!

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks! I think I got a lot of subs when I was uploading videos more regularly, like one upload a week. I think KZbin promotes your videos more once activity on your channel increases. The thumbnail is also important. Music is always a help too. I'm terrible at editing, but hopefully I get better over time. I like your channel! I just subscribed!

[@arrowheadlofteast9863]

AlohaPigeons awsome thanks!!

[@arlensanchez9927]

Oh man! Glad you made it thru !

[@alohapigeons9440]

Me too! Thanks

[@alohapigeons9440]

[@zeedoido]

Hello friend, very good your videos, you can show this feeder that uses to feed pigeons. thank you

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thank you!

[@awakaning2-dot-eu]

Your vids are so enjoyable dude, why not try to post more often, I'd definetly will watch, one thing that I feel its needed is a proper introduction for the pigeons like what race they are and what not, if you have done that already, I'm sorry, didn't watch all of ur vids, gl brother

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thank you! I hope to upload more often. Aloha, Sean

[@StreetFoodHDp]

Hey body we missed you

[@alohapigeons9440]

Thanks, lol!

[@hana-houswif-ters9433]

Be positive my man .... You did it last year .... It can be done again ... I believe they will do well .... It's in there blood lines ....

[@jmayes36]

Good effort, but at 2.50 you very nearly lost all the birds to the sea . I think you were right on that one being a bad decision. Better next time . Great content as always.

[@alohapigeons9440]

Definitely a bad decision. Luckily that crate I had to drop was already empty. Not going to do that again. Don't want my obituary to say cause of death was training homing pigeons, lol.

[@prestonjarred6994]

I like the video✌
