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.

    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 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

  • @THEFALCON58

    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

    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.

  • @tomherbert6792
    @tomherbert6792 Рік тому

  • @RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal

    Very nice I just used wooden pallets for building my loft was cheap as chips lol to build.

  • @RollerCanarysByDaveyGeeNewZeal

    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

  • @antoniorodrigues5176
    @antoniorodrigues5176 Рік тому

    Give it a couple days just rotate the band around a couple times a day,

    • @swallowtailpigeons6654
      @swallowtailpigeons6654 Рік тому

      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

  • @FloridaHappyHarvestGarden

    Cut the band

    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

    • @swallowtailpigeons6654
      @swallowtailpigeons6654 Рік тому

      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.

    If you don't put wire mesh on the bottom opening the critters will get any birds off the floor that they can reach.

  • @huexiong2624

    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.

    • @swallowtailpigeons6654
      @swallowtailpigeons6654 Рік тому

      Great suggestion. I have not built the nesting boxes yet, so I will probably do as you say
