Oh thank you so much! Love to hear that!

[@loubozzelli4740]

Hey James. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video. I loved the slo-mo effect, it was great but I really like the still shot in the beginning too. What a great idea. Was it planned or did it just happen? Have a great day.

[@RFRP]

Aww thanks!! Glad you enjoyed the slow-mo! I’m going to try and do more of that especially with their flight. As always, thanks for following!!

[@jasal7380]

hello, what line yours bird? its look all very nice.

[@RFRP]

Several lines that I’m working in together: Macaloney, Aarden, Vandenabeele, Nemelka. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Phantomreels_77]

How many days do you have to wait to put the bands on the youngsters?

[@RFRP]

About 7 days, but it depends on their size and how big they are. You have to watch them so you don’t miss the window of time

[@amsongrafil3473]

Good day sir.

[@RFRP]

Greetings! Thanks for watching

[@Melissapondlove]

Hi where do you buy cheaper coconut fiber in bulk ?? I see it in the baby nesting bowls or is that peat??

[@RFRP]

Hi! Good eye--that is coconut fiber indeed. I purchased those nest pads from Foy's Pet Supplies.

[@QbanRockets]

Wow Thing 1 is a determined bird. Good that he can flight a bit. Your pigeon feed is great. Is it for all year round or better when training? Thanks

[@RFRP]

Yes, He is determined!! Glad I saved him! This feed mix is mostly for my Breeders. The young birds will get the same but I will lighten it with barley and safflower.

[@QbanRockets]

@@RFRP thanks for the info. Will read more about feeding. Thanks

[@shahancheema8568]

How many times do you feed them a day and how much to keep them in condition and shape love your content ❤

[@RFRP]

Thanks for the kind words! That's a Great question! The breeders I feed twice a day and typically give them all the food that they can eat. They need to have as much as possible while they are feeding youngsters. Young and old birds that are flying only get fed one time each day, after flying, and I don't feed them very much. You don't want them to get fat. I currently have 12-14 yearling cocks and they get 2 cups of feed per day total. the type of feed is another factor. Right now I've been feeding a heavier mix (Versele Laga Champion), which is great for the breeders. Birds that I'm trying to get into race condition will get a much higher percentage of barley and other lighter grains. Hope that helps!!

Where do you the food for your pigeons?

[@RFRP]

There are local feed stores here in Maryland, but for the past 2 years I have order my feed online at Chewy. Thanks!!

Awsome❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RFRP]

Thanks!! ☺️

[@loubozzelli4740]

Good evening Dr James. Firstly, why do pigeons blink when eating? Easily noticed in the great slo-mo feeding/breeding video. 2nd question is what would you differently with the broken wing bird that you repaired? Cheers from Canada!!

[@RFRP]

I think the reflex of their blinking when they pick up a seed is for protecting the eyes. Pretty interesting to observe; I hadn’t noticed this behavior prior to making this slow-mo. I also liked seeing how they first grab the seed, then stick it to their tongue to pull it back in. Not sure I would do anything different with binding that break. Sadly the beak was right before the joint which on birds most often heals as a solid node. Sad, but at least he can now use his wing to fly up 4-5 feet. Thanks for the questions!!
