I am just starting my journey into pigeon racing. Learning a lot and having a lot of fun. Most of all I love the birds.
Settling and Loft Flying Young Pigeons
I know I don't do everything right in this video. But I'm glad I got all the birds back. They have been flying much better and trapping much faster since I filmed this. However, one of my birds injured her leg on a poor landing. Any advice is welcome.

Trap Training My Racing Pigeons
Переглядів 13 тис.Рік тому
Getting the young birds ready to loft fly. Trap training with a bob trap. They went right through it. Give me all your thoughts including corrections and encouragements. I'm learning. One note: I know I need a better feeder and I plan on transitioning to a different feed soon as well.

Finally got the loft to the point where I could introduce the pigeons. Let me know what you guys think of the birds and the loft. Lots of work left to do with both.

This is the first video on my new channel, Swallowtail Pigeons. I created this channel to document my journey into homing pigeons for racing and dog training. Follow me on my journey and feel free to offer any advice for a newby.
Awesome another Wyoming pigeon fancier! I got started training pointing dogs now I am the crazy pigeon guy in Douglas. They are awesome! Glad I found this!
I love pigeons
Yes, please remove the band from her leg. Get an X-ray to check for fracture. Start anti inflammatory for the swelling and antibiotic for infection.
I love it send me a list of your materials plz😊
do u happen to know exactly everything u used in the video
Keep going end wee n need audatas
Great job man I'm proud of you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Don't stop with what you doing 🎉
Good videos. Interested in how the injured bird got along after the leg injury.
It healed
Don't isolate the bird, their all a family put the foot in warm water feed pink powder to that pigeon only
I use a 10 litre bucket with a lid with 2-inch holes around the outside as a feeder and a cone type in the inside in the center with hot melt glue so the feed falls to the outside
Put a shelf in your loft and use, used 2 or 3 Liter bottles/ clean milk Bottles with a 2x2x2x2 inch hole on the wide side for drinkers to save money. ?????
Hi from D.Ks pigeon lofts, your outside sunning cage will do fine for the birds return bob wires or 45deg/ elbows cover above the inside entrance with wire, I use the hole roof for the sunning cage on my stock pigeon loft that are for Breeding only never fly your Breeders if you done want to loose them to hawks
What's the brand of that trap door from Amazon? Or if you can send me the link to it
Sir i have a question what about mosquitoes

Don't leave there water on the ground brotha.
Welcome to racing pigeons brotha. It's an amazing hobby to have. Best wishes.
👍👍👍 Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
These pigeons are tough. I had one on my team last year after a toss it mustve hit a wire broke its leg on the band side like yours. I thought of cutting it off as well but i gave it some time. I didnt isolate the bird he stayed with the others he limped around for couple days maybe a week most? He healed up and I was able to rotate the band again freely. It was swollen like yours was as well. That bird ended being 1/3 returning back from our final 300 mile race out of what I had left on my team of 12 birds? I can't recall exactly.
A bit late now, but I wouldn't use diesel oil anywhere near the birds. You said it will "gas-off", but in the future, I'd use primer and paint, or nothing at all.
Isolate her and rest for a few days .with food and water . Rest her. So sad .if you do no a good vet then take her .shame wish your birds well
Amazing loft you built yourself!
Very nice I just used wooden pallets for building my loft was cheap as chips lol to build.
That was perfect cool man. I still have pigeons and had done same with 3 of my young ones I first push em in through wires few times then let em out with the adults and they follow them readily it only took 20 mins.

Please, put her in a box for a week with food and water. Don't remove the band for now. If it's not healing take it to a veterinarian. Good luck
Give it a couple days just rotate the band around a couple times a day,
That’s what I settled on and it’s looking better now. She is putting a little weight on it and the swelling has come down. Didn’t want to risk making it worse trying to cut off the band. I’ll keep watching it closely
Cut the band
Hello my friend I'm from New York city!
Birds flying well, I have no advice on the injured bird, I hope someone can give you the proper advice. Good luck and Thanx for sharing.
🔝🔝🔝🕊🕊🇧🇷😎
Very good 9ice pigeon setup bro❤❤👍👍
That looks bad ..get the band off put her in a holding cage and make sure she has lots of nutritional food and lots of water
Don't leave her in the loft she might try to move around and hurt herself more
Good ❤❤
I would give them one ounce per day. Don’t over feed them.
That is exactly what I started doing last week. Thanks so much for the comment and the advice
Beautiful birds and great job on the coop brother
Thanks!
nice color of your pigeon. yes continue your training that is good. that training for the trap door is good. specially for racing time or going back home. 👍👍👍
Good job👍🤝🤝❤
Thank you 👍
Beautiful loft and beautiful pigeon,new friend from Philippines 👍🤝🤝🙏🌹
Great job, Thanks for sharing
Great looking birds I think you're giving them a little bit too much feed 1 tbsp / pigeon always make sure you have fresh water and Grit. Enjoy the birds they look great man
Thanks for the comment! I will work on getting their food dialed in. I have heard overfeeding is the biggest mistake of beginners, and I guess I'm no different :) It is still pretty cold in Wyoming too so I was a little worried about that.
beautiful loft
If you don't put wire mesh on the bottom opening the critters will get any birds off the floor that they can reach.
Yep, it will be covered with mesh. Thanks for the comment!
Loft is awesome from start to finish. I know I'm late and by the time I write this you may have already built and finished the loft but my suggest for the breeding boxes or breeders build them at the end section therefore when you walk in you don't scare or stress the breeders as much verses if you do it in the front or 1st section you'll have to walk through the breeders each time to get to the yb section. Another plus about having the breeders in the end section is they can't or won't be able to just fly out when you open the door.
Great suggestion. I have not built the nesting boxes yet, so I will probably do as you say
Salam ❤
Nice work ❤
Hey I have some 2023 homers baby with pedigree. If you pay for the box and shipping I give you some for free. I’m in Oklahoma. I like your loft man is nice. You made it work.
@Comanche_Loft Thanks for the offer! I would love to discuss it with you. You can email me at: swallowtailfarmllc@gmail.com Or if you have another way for me to reach you, let me know.
That food way too dusty for pigeons..fine for chickens but not pigeons
Yep, I have changed their feed. Thanks for the comment!
