It's so great to see all the birds up and flying the later birds are catching up to the older ones just fine.....Thanks for all the work you put into these birds.
What an incredimazing video, Tom! The best one yet.. Love seeing the birds flying and divebombing to the runway! Birds are doing great. Keep up the awesome job that you are doing.. Kevin
Great stuff! Glad to see my birds catching up well from the looks of it. Hopefully by the end of this next week youll have them all flying together 🤞 will definitely make it easier for you haha
Every 3-4 days bath in the morning. After the bath let them dry off and relax. Once they look dried off, hype them up for the fly. Just like how you removed the cage and they just take off. I clap my hand to hype them up to get them into the alert / joy mode that they want to fly. So like I was saying the bath is most important. Get them hydrated and clean so they focus more on their flying. You can hear the difference when they fly cleaned. On the feeding part, the pigeon only eat a few in morning. They don't like food weighing on them. They usually eat more when roosting. Eating more when roosting help them maintain their body muscles, so their muscle tissue don't become catabolized after the flying. Feeding more when they go to sleep to help maintain those muscle. Whole corn help the digestion to become slower so the food / body last through the night to build muscles.
Andrei's birds are hanging out on the roof. Won't be long and they'll be hanging out on a roof down the street because Jason & Adrian's birds have taken them too far routing.
@@andreitamas6808 Talk is cheap. I’ll wager a pair of 2024 babies vs a pair of your 2024 babies, one of my 2 beats both yours overall average speed. Winner picks the parents. 😁
Really great stuff Tom, can’t wait for the next video. Was thinking about the ridge of the roof… perhaps mount a slinky up there… it would be safe and would definitely deter them from landing up there.
@@littleloftonthehill love the sport but can’t participate at this time so living vicariously via youtube videos so thanks to you and many others for your contributions and responses to our comments.
Thanks! The stand is repurposed. It was a plywood ramp used to get a wheelchair up a couple steps. Plywood with a couple 2x4 runners. It is sitting on two cheap sawhorses from Home Depot. It can really be anything, a garbage can with a sheet of plywood or even a piece of cardboard could work. All the best!
I really like it. It is pretty open. I couple pro labor get by with two or three holes. I built it big to fit the opening. I am going to rig up some type of tunnels the birds go through before the drop trap. Because my back bottom is open coopers think they can drop in there and then get out. I would hate to have that happen again. I think second race last year, had the first place bird and a cooper trapped in the loft with it. My birds were hesitant to trap for a few weeks after that.
Nice to see them all out! By the end of next week they’ll all be routing together. Well done!
Thanks James, we are having fun with them!
Awesome Tom!
Thanks!
Heck yeah 🎉🎉

I am really enjoying the process! We should see them all group up this week.

They are all doing great, I am sure they will be grouped up by the end of the week, they did great this morning.
Fantastic update as always. And just when we were crashing from last week's high 😁

Sounds good!
Congratulations the birds are doing very well and no losses . Enjoyed as always the video dislike the background music .
Thanks! They are doing great!👍
Great kit there Tom.
Thanks!
Great video and beautifull pigeon... watching from philippines
Thanks for visiting
Man...really like that way you trap train...I will add this to the way I do this from now on thanks! 💪
It is a little slow for some I am sure but they are doing great!
Brilliant . 👍🇬🇧
Thanks!
At 1:12. I like the part where the pigeon slides, I can hear it saying weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
🤣😂They only do that a couple times before they figure out they can’t land up there
Wow I am glad here it made it back. I thought Hawk had got the one bird. Great job on the video
I need glasses, misspelled your name on a heading or two, it is all on my phone and too small. Your birds are both doing great!
Great video!!! Andrei's birds are catching up fast 😮. Jason and Adrian beware.
Andrei's birds are hanging out on the roof. Won't be long and they'll be hanging out on a roof down the street because Jason & Adrian's birds have taken them too far routing.
They couldn’t catch a cold. Settle down! 😂
@@jasonjordan9101 hmmm. I think you have mistaken. Not to long untill my birds dust yours in the races.
@@AdrianP_loft😬🤧

Slinky is a great idea! Thanks!

Nice your flock is looking good..think it's getting time to extend the landing board
👍The table will be the new landing board, just about done with it.
@@littleloftonthehill Excellent will be handy when your whole flock starts to trap all together
@@littleloftonthehill glad to hear that!
Hi Tom, awesome videos quick question where did you get your stand to train your pigeons at? thanks

@@littleloftonthehill thanks
How are you liking that style of drop trap? I have the bobs but I’ve been contemplating changing because some of the birds get Bob shy still.
I really like it. It is pretty open. I couple pro labor get by with two or three holes. I built it big to fit the opening. I am going to rig up some type of tunnels the birds go through before the drop trap. Because my back bottom is open coopers think they can drop in there and then get out.

@@littleloftonthehill yeah with my style aviary I may be safe with a drop trap and then I’ll copy your tunnel system 🤣🤣
Nice place 💯❤️👍👍👍
