What Happens to Lost Racing Pigeons

*Watch in HD* We had all but one pigeon home after the last race. What happened to it? I also go all out on the training this week to try to improve our results after languishing in the bottom half of the time sheet so far this season. Will it work in time for the weekend's race?

[@thesquirrelyprepperlifesty5523]

@@howtotrainyourpigeon I caught and called in a bird 2 days ago. The bands caught our attention so I just googled birds with bands. Amazing, 2 hours after reporting the bird was picked up and I met some great racing guys.

Hello, did you consider using a multicolored picket type fence on the loft roof

❤❤❤❤

[@Don_Loft97]

Love the videos!

[@dwartaitken8893]

4ANGELS LOFT.. Great job on that race.👍🏿

[@johnhunter871]

Yes mate when they flying very high it's because there's a hawk around, pigeons fly high to get above any hawks in order to stop hawks diving

[@alanwindsor3224]

With the widowhood system pick one out that suits you and follow it as best you can .if its a proven system it will cut a lot of the guess work out .good luck mate

[@scot7367]

If you get yourself a drone you can keep the birds off the neighbours roof, plus could be used for footage for your videos.

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

I use one occasionally for filming but reckon the neighbours would have questions 😂

[@richie.carroll]

It would do no harm to leave some old birds or stock birds out with your young birds. I do it with mine it's saved me loosing a few over the years.

[@Pigeonlover-69]

Loveing the vid and im only started

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

Glad you liked it

[@tjschannel1532]

Great result stay positive

[@DaveysLoft-jv7fz]

Do you fly from different directions ?.

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

No just north road

[@DaveysLoft-jv7fz]

@@howtotrainyourpigeon Ah ok well if ya try different directions it gives em a look around ta find the line!

[@owenjason7075]

Nice 👍

[@StephenGlencross-yg4nt]

What happens to lost racers . Well some end up on farm buildings some go to town centres many get killed by b o p and some go into other lofts so it is a hard life for pigeons but if we put our bit effort in they often can be better pigeons we must work hard with them if they wont fly at home round loft no worries change corn to 80 per cent diet mix and 20 per cent racing mix and train them at least four times a week don't need to go to far either good luck with them .

[@BoSSLeVeLs]

one turned up at my house this week dropped right next to my dad who was visiting He use to race pigeons hes in his 80s now its been back 3 days in a row even tapped on the window at the Mrs lol

Zoolander sounds like me haha, cant get a girlfriend, the silver fox hahaha

[@keithhannah1234]

Less than 6 hours on the wing you should race them again the following week. My pigeons will race the first 10 races straight. 20 birds go every week, the rest of the birds get training tosses.

[@DaveysLoft-jv7fz]

They are trapping well😎

[@petersymaeys6067]

Enjoy your racing

[@Boy-k3s]

I'm from Philippines we train our pigeons 800 miles away from home for the competition I wish you all the best sir!

[@ChiefHamza]

Ship me some birds to America.

[@christophersherratt7299]

I USED TO STACK 3 BOX HIGH WITH ONE ROD HOLDING THEM BACK SO THEY ALL CAME OUT SAME TIMES

[@christophersherratt7299]

I NEVER LET OR TOOK MY BIRDS ANY WHERE ON THERE OWN LET OUT WITH GOOD OLD FAITHFUL BIRDS UNTILL THEY COULD GET HOME FROM 50 MILES THEN IF THEY GOT LOST GOOD RIDDANCE NOT WORTH KEEPING HELPED WITH NUMBERS IN LOFT OLD SLOWER BIRDS FIRST THEN THE FASTER ONE'S

[@chickentony]

Who ever told you you font need to train old birds once they are racing is wrong. I bet they are training thier own birds.

[@navenpillay504]

I would suggest a wire basket on a pole in front of the loft to help young birds for trapping training

[@leeallam4627]

The trouble with V perches the pigeons are a pain to catch best have individual box perches much better easy to catch them 😮

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

Completely agree

[@desburke7786]

V perch BOX perch POLE perch WIDOW HOOD BOX HEN BOX standing on the floor, doesent matter what the bird is standing on, if you handle them enough daily from a young age and not grab them real fast, they should stand there and let you pick them up and hold them gently with out them needed to be squeezed and them resisting you, when you watch all of DAN'S videos you can see he doesent handle them much, and when he does hold them, he looks like some1 who only started in pigeons a few weeks, very novice like, very awkward even, only pigeons that should be a handful is stock birds because there not used to being handled anymore after being stoped racing a few years, yes you will allways get 1 or 2 baby's and yearlings and 2/3 year old that just don't like being picked up and handled, but not the whole team, BOX them f0r racing and training the way DAN does that's fine, but between that they should be handled daily 2 see there OK and haven't any lumps or bumps on them especially there keel bone or wings. As baby's a few peanuts allways does the job 2 gaun there trust and not be nervous when you step into the loft

[@GF-pt3jp]

Once your birds are used to widowhood they will trap easily. I have not had pigeons for years but I flew on widowhood cocks only and one good bird won a lot of club races for me, biggest problem was keeping him going week after week which I never managed

[@stevez7854]

I don't like v perches, I use flat perches mostly due to the pigeons ability to "lay down", on them getting full rest that way

[@hedleycrick7373]

Are you sure it wasn’t a peregrine as they were shooting all over the place?

[@howtotrainyourpigeon]

What I saw was a sparrowhawk but apparently there's a pair of falcons around so could have been

[@Andy-groom]

Sparrow hawks won’t bother them in flight. It’s the peregrine that chases them.

[@sumodvs17]

👍🏼

[@anklewis68]

Anymore young birds back ?

[@mattwright3768]

Go in every loft on the allotments get chucked out of every loft on the allotments without any one bothering to report it because 9 times out of 10 the owner doesn't want it back.

[@derekupson4489]

Why keep so many birds twenty is plenty for club racing, very good loft position for NRCC racing so instead of making a hobby such hard work give the birds a chance to prove themselves the obviously that's not going to happen until the numbers and the food are cut down.

[@christophersherratt7299]

DID YOU NOT FIND A HGV DRIVERS TO TAKE YOUR BIRDS KNOWING THAT YOU ARE STRUGGLING FOR TIME KIDS + FAMILY £25 A POP FROM 100 150 MILE OR FERTHER WOULD COST MORE IN JUICE
