One trick to help settle older young racing pigeons

Watch to see one method to help young racing pigeons settle and not fly off too far the first time they are let out. When young racing pigeons / homing pigeons get to old there is a higher chance that they will get lost when let out for the first time. Here is just one trick (of several) to help young racing pigeons settle and avoid being lost.

Hi again James after looking at your video again I can only see 4 screws holding your brackets on and should be a simple task with a pair of extra hands or just extend the one you have onto the young bird section. birds are creatures of habit. once (you) get them into a routine and stick to it. you will see a big difference. I don’t know what intentions you have with your birds. if you need any information about racing pigeons I have at least 25 yrs experience if you need any info. all the best James good going 🍺

[@Marvinbayani1979]

Add white vinegar and salt wit the water and soap you use this is the best cheap way I ever heard and use of some fancier I know by the way beautiful loft u got there

[@RFRP]

Do you have HOA in your neighborhood? if yes what they said about the pigeons.

[@RFRP]

I do not have an HOA. I specifically bought this house for that reason.

[@user-wx5be1wx2j]

Will it hurt the bird if the soap drys?

[@RFRP]

Not at all. In fact, after a couple hours you'd never know you had soaked the bird in soapy water because the bloom produced on the feathers is replaced quite quickly.

[@Zouhair449]

Thank you Sir, What about the city? Would that technique be effective for those that live in the city

[@RFRP]

I don't see why it wouldn't work in the city. But remember that this is a temporary fix just to slow them down for a couple of hours.

[@windelrey0137]

Amazing day….

[@RFRP]

Thank you my friend!! Take care!!

[@ranjit4382]

Hi dipping them in soapy water or shampoo.. will it not poision them while they clean the feathers.. I'm a new subscriber 😊

[@RFRP]

Good question. Unless the soap has unusual, harmful chemicals in it then it will be fine. Normal dish soap or animal shampoo will not harm the birds. Good luck!!

[@ranjit4382]

@@RFRP ok thanks for responding 😀

[@Silva_loft]

Hello sir looking to get into racingn flying birds, should i get a pair of breeders or should i just buy 4 youngsters to start with??

[@RFRP]

That is a great question!! I would recommend starting with 4-10 youngsters that you can train to fly. Then next year you could breed from them. Good luck!

[@alysamir7558]

I’m in Ga too in Statesboro, what is your location?

[@RFRP]

I used to live in Athens, but now I live in Maryland

[@cloishowell8298]

Is the trap open to them when soaped?

[@RFRP]

Yes

[@ralphbarba1742]

How many times will this process, before the birds are settle?

[@RFRP]

This method assumes that you have first had them out sitting on the landing board several times for an hour or two each time. Once or twice is sufficient

[@janikagagnon9178]

I got 2 pigeons and i didn’t have them at the same time. Will they attack each other’s or pigeons don’t do that?

[@RFRP]

There may be a little fighting but that’s normal. If it is two cocks they will fight especially if they are confined to a small space. Every time I introduce a new bird to the flock there is a little fighting that happens as they establish and re-establish their territory

[@ahmerrizvi]

I would say wish me luck.

[@RFRP]

Good luck Ahmer!! 🍀🍀🍀 Keep me posted on how your birds do, and thanks for following!

[@ahmerrizvi]

@@RFRP thanks for wishing me luck. I was referring to phrase you use the most. 🙂

[@RFRP]

😆😆😆 Oh that is funny!! “wish me luck”. Haha, I definitely say that a lot, maybe even more than the phrase my siblings pointed out! 😆😆😆 Great guess, but that’s not the one they mentioned.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stevehughes6287]

As l said before James you will do a lot better if you moved your landing board onto the young bird window 👷🏻‍♂️🕊🪟👍

[@RFRP]

Hi Steve! I was just thinking about your comment yesterday!! I agree 100%. Im just trying to decide how to do it. It’s one of the best suggestions I have gotten from followers of the channel. Thank you!

So

[@RFRP]

Oh that is very true!!! I always say "So..." That's not what they mentioned but honestly I'm sure I say "so" more than the phrase they pointed out! Haha! Good one!

[@jacksonakt]

Hi sir, I am from india if any possible to export birds from us.

[@RFRP]

I wish there was, but there current is not a reliable way to ship pigeons to India 🇮🇳. Thanks for following!!

[@oscarzaman4172]

We can bend wing's them up then they don't fly

[@RFRP]

Oh that’s interesting!! Thanks for sharing that method here!! Cheers!

[@oscarzaman4172]

@@RFRP ur well come I use to had high fly pigeon they can fly front of u 24 hours day and night u can look at them night too one over did fly 36 hours on cup

[@RFRP]

Wow!! That sounds awesome!! How fun! I have heard that about high flying pigeons-incredible that they can fly so long, and in the dark too! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lewingsloft]

Will this work for older birds like prisoners

[@RFRP]

If they have been in the new location for a long time and have been able to be out in a fly pen then this will definitely help the first time you let them out. Most of the time prisoners are your breeders and are too valuable to risk letting out ever. But if you want to rehome an older bird to fly at your loft get in on some youngsters and then try this the first time you let it out. Chúc may mắn, bạn!!

[@Lewingsloft]

@@RFRP Cảm ơn nhiều! 👍

[@bobdale2842]

They said you talk to much? Naw. Not at all.

[@RFRP]

Haha! That is a good guess, but they mentioned a specific phrase I say a lot. Thanks for the guess!
