I love your "how to breed..." videos, and I have a question because of it. Can you make a video about saddle pigeons genetic ? I'm very curious about it
Nice to see the lib committee giving the birds their best chance by coming back a bit and delaying. Good to see your excellent returns continuing, so you must be doing most things right and you were still in front of some good flyers on the fed sheet.
We do not see everything that happens in a race I like swindell of NI any bird that comes back even weeks later is welcome to stay things happen out there ? Maybe they had to detour around bandits 6 o'clock high - who knows
@AdamArcherPigeons watched kurts videos was raining in wa also. Interesting to see if you both could make super pigeons. With a combined breeding programme
@Rev792 You make a very good point. I had a look at the Federation results for the 8 races so far and 7 of them were won with 2nd place behind by between 1 and 27 seconds, according to Par Time. The Gunning race on June 8th had a win with 5 seconds to 2nd, 7 seconds to 3rd and 22 seconds to 4th, according to Par Time. Gundagai Sale Yards race, also on June 8th had 1 second PAR Time from 1st to 2nd and velocities of 1855.939 and 1855.78. Those 2 fliers were some distance apart on different sides of Sydney. If I remember correctly clubs get allocated a loading location on the truck, so those with a lower loading location could have a 30 second advantage over the top row. I don't think this issue is new and it is perhaps better to have an incremental safe release rather than a simultaneous release with possibility of injury.
Two comments: 1, each club is allocated COLUMNS on the truck, not rows. This means the top and bottom positions are equally distributed between the clubs. 2, if you've ever actually attended a liberation you'd know that the birds do not leave instantly. It takes at minimum 2-5 minutes, and the birds from all baskets group together before leaving. This staggered release over 30 seconds is for the safety of the birds and prevents injuries from clashes in a mob release.
@@AdamArcherPigeons Thanks for the explanation of the current loading allocation as well as the liberation video. The time spent by the birds faffing around at the liberation point is not taken into account in the velocity calculation and will always benefit the longer marker. Perhaps that might be another reason to calculate from when the all the shutters/doors have been fully opened, but I suspect that's all too hard. Seconds do matter and I remember I queried my velocity one time from an Old Bar race and the race sec had calculated with a clock loss rather than gain. Upon recalculation I ended up with a card and cash.

Ma Sha Allah very nice ❤
Really love your birds man
Oh bugger! I know you wanted to keep within the top 100 each race weekend. Keep tossing so they hopefully don’t overfly.

Tidy I can see the condition on the birds from here
They are in extremely good condition, I really can't explain why they were so late this week. Hopefully the extra distance next week helps!

Keep trying .......🙏🙏🙏
I get to Sydney with work a bit it would be good to call in & see ur birds & have a good talk about racing pigeons
They only know there flying home ,they don't know there racing
Up to next week
380-400km next week
@@AdamArcherPigeons Succes
The wind changed they over shot the loft..
Cool thanks mate
How did kurts pigeons fair in race?
They didn't go, they had short fligh feathers. Hopefully they'll be ready this week. If I sent them I would have pointed them out.

Sorry man , they probably were attacked
If races are won by seconds, then 31 one seconds for a full release is a problem, in my opinion.

@@AdamArcherPigeons I understand now ,
You need to invest in some better stock birds, Adam
Absolutely nothing wrong with the stock birds, it's the training. I didn't train them well enough to pull out in strong tail winds.
