really enjoyed your video. found it very educational use to keep them myself a long time ago. inspired me to start up again now my family all grown up. thanks for posting.
Thank's for the great vid. You did a excellent job on your kitbox. I used too fly Homers but have been out of the game for sum time. I think I'll build myself a double kitbox and get sum rollars. It will be nice too relax in the backyard on a lounge chair and watch them fly. Your a luckey man too have the carpenter skills to build such nice kitboxes. Hope too get sum update videos of your rollers. I live in Ohio and there are quite a few guy's who fly. All the best from my house too yours.
dale lima Thanks Dale glad you enjoyed it, I now have 40 young birds and the eggs still sat on will take it to 46, more than enough for this year. Some of the birds are really coming into the roll since this vid was made so will be doing an update very soon. Cheers.
Nice Birds and believe me your birds know the hawk is there pigeons have incredible eyesight that may be why those 2 birds don't want to come outside Good Luck
This is why i like pigeons, theyre the only bird i kno of that u can let fly out in the open n they come back on their own. Plus theyre cute! I want some
The first few baby's seem like they take for ever .every spring I wait and wait for the weather to break . Then finally a set of eggs or two. By the end of summer I'm putting wooden eggs under and wondering if I will sell them all. Great luck to you and keep enjoying them.
680ecks Yea know what you mean mate, seems to take forever for them to get out of the nest and flying. splitting up the birds soon anyway, should have enough young uns when this round is done. cheers.
Birds are looking great mate. I don't suppose u live any where near mold north Wales do ya rollers ain't that easy to get old of over here lots of homers no rollers lol :)
Jason Bentley Thanks Mate about 55 mile form Mold but I do travel to Widnes a fair bit which aint far from you. I'm going to be getting rid of some young birds quite soon. Planned on breeding 30 ish because I thought not all of them would be good rollers but as it turns out they are pretty much all very good and getting better the older they get, ive now bred 50 !! which I have decided is way too many to keep as the boxes are getting a bit cramped and it takes ages to manage them all. Got 70 birds in total with the older birds so its got a bit out of hand lol.
+john coelho Thanks John, you join a club to fly in comp and a fee to enter the flying if you decide, winners get trophies and other things I think the top flier does get some money.
Can I ask what the wires are for around your garden fences? Are they to stop the pigeons landing on the fence or to keep cats out? I love your idea to use the wide plastic down curved pipes for the trap. I am going to try that with my birds!
Jason Kinnear Hi Jason, The wires are strong fishing line and i put it there really to stop the sparrow hawks when they are flying low over the gardens hunting. I have had one try to take a bird off the roof before the line was put up. If they home in on a bird on the roof they will get a surprise now and if they spot the line it will take away the chance of them taking a bird. And yes it also stops the birds sitting on the fence. The pipe trap for the birds works great as well, as soon as they go through once they use it all the time,you can just leave it open if you have a bird out on its own too.Cheers.
I really like your birds they look awesome nice colers I would really like a pair or even some young ones when you have some maybe in a month or two please if possible thanks alot
Thanks assh, I dont know much about the high flying breeds mate and if they are supposed to kit together like rollers, But most pigeons will fly in a group if they are flown together day in day out, it takes a while for rollers to kit tight together but its just patience and keeping to a routine with them. Cheers.
Nice layout, I'm planning to raise quails, rabbits and pigeons in the future. How do you get your pigeons back in their home? Do they go inside when it's dark?
Jamie Holloway Hi Jamie, Its a nice hobby to have, With closed rings the birds are rung in the nest around 8-10 days old and the bird gets that ring for life, but you can fit split rings to birds at any age. If you join a club you use their rings with the club ID and the birds number which is recorded by the club and if it goes missing then found the club will know who's bird it is and contact you. If you intend to fly the birds in competition you need a club ring on the bird. You can also buy your own id rings online with your initials and a number for instance, That's what i did when i started. I also fit split rings to my birds with my phone number on them and its worked a few times now when birds got lost people have found them and called me.
I used to have pigeons when I was a child in my country, ( I lived in countryside). I'm wondering if it's legal or acceptable to have a large group of pigeons in your back yard when we live in cit and pigeons might be pooping on top of everything. I really don't have to get neighbor complained.
***** I'll try to have a group of them. They're very loyal and never leave us. Even though we don't feed them enough food they fly away to find some food and come back every evening.
It's funny when I was a kid it was 6$ for young pair 10$ for old pair. No one wanted to start young pairs. Now for some reason people want young birds. Then they get two sets of eggs and split them. Got to let them go about 8 sets to see what your going to get. 2 ndc year the pairs do the best.
680ecks I was planning on letting them have 4 rounds each then see what kind of birds they produce, sunday I was given a pair of older stock birds from a top flyer and one of his stock cocks, these are also now paired up and im letting other birds rear their first round of eggs so should get 4 rounds or more from these also, Didnt want too big an age difference between the young birds this year mainly the reason im going to stop after this round with some of them.
+john coelho I have i suppose 2 kits one all female on all male, they would be better as a mixed kit flying but i split them to stop the egg laying and breeding.
ricky hepburn Hi Ricky I wont have any young birds to trap or train this year mate but I could do a short video showing the process and how I do it if thats any good.
hello, my name is javi, i´m from asturias in the north of spain, i woud like tou buy you two couples of your pigeon if you , they are incredible, coud yu send thems from spain¿ And i would like to know too, the measures of your dovecote, i would like to make one like yours its looks so good
+javi alvarez Hello Javi, It would be very costly to send birds to spain, the measurements of the box are roughly 2 metres long by 1 meter high and wide. Cheers.
As a kid we used to call these birds TUMBLERS, does anyone really know why they actually tumble. I take it that the word TUMBLER and ROLLER, Is a local name. Not too many lofts around these days, great pity, my old man kept racing pigeons all his life, actually they were his life, sure he thought more of his birds than us, was a full time job for him
George Edwards The rolling is a result of cross breeding over many years kind of a defect really, tumblers and rollers are much different birds in the UK. A true roller will fly for up to an hour and hopefully roll frequently and quite deep,and in time with the rest of the birds. A tumber usually just does flicks and the odd roll but flys for much longer being a bigger bird. Some guys aim to have them flying for 24 hours at a time. My grandad also lived for his pigeons as did his mates who visited him, there where at least 10 lofts along our road when i was a kid. I think only 2 now.
كل دول اجانب مش هيفهمو كلامك ده في السعوديه والخليج بيقولو عليه قلابي وعندنا في مصر اسمو شقلباظ بس بيبقي ليه شربات وفيه انواع تانيه زي الباكستاني والشامي كل ده بيلعب
هذا حمام قلابي إسمه برمنقهام أو البرمنقهامي وبوجد أنواع حمام قلابي أخرى مثل التركي والشامي والعراقي والباكستاني وأكثر ثلاث أنواع موجودة بالسعودية هم العراقي اللي هو القلابي العادي المعروف والباكستاني ويوجد أيضاً برمنقهام مثل اللي بالفيديو أما التركي والشامي فهم قليل بالسعودية وأساساً هم قليل حتى في بلدان منشأهم وغاليات ثمنهم عالي وربما بالمستقبل يكثرو
I actually had my own pigeons when i was 10 years old also spent alot of time with my grandfather who had a passion for his, so I do know a fair bit about them, its not that one year old birds are not old enough to breed more the cocks are inexperienced at treading the hens and you end up with hit and miss hatches.
***** Oo, sorry, I must have come across quite harsh, sorry about that...I don't doubt you know what you're doing at all. It's simply how much my group talks about not letting girls breed till they're ready.
+Average Teen I started with 8 birds which were all related and i have bred off these, I later got 3 more pairs but all related again off the same breeder. I have not bred mother to son or father to daughter or brother to sister so all birds are cousins etc you can breed close like mother son but not too many times as you get problems with the chicks being weak and malformed. thats why ringing birds and keeping records is a must so you know who is related to who.
+Average Teen write down parents ring numbers and when you ring their chicks write them down with their parents then you know they are brother sister mother son etc. just like a family tree, the next year you can cross those young birds with another pairs young or the young of another pair to a different older pair, thats the way i do it. thats why its important to keep breeding records also you can note down the number of really good birds when they start flying and rolling so you can see how they are related and if they are not brother and sister you could pair them up and probably get good birds off them. that works the other way too, if a pair produce not very good young birds dont breed them together again swap them around and pair them with other birds. once you find a pair that produces great birds you have reached the place that all pigeon men want to get to. They will become your stock birds and should be looked after really well.
I love the look of the bold headed black birds with white flights mate real nice
Love your set up. Your videos are encouraging me to get a kit of my own, keep up the good work. Greetings from down under
Даниел Прентов Thankyou, all the best if you decide to get some birds.
Great set up and I like your birds colours.
really enjoyed your video. found it very educational use to keep them myself a long time ago. inspired me to start up again now my family all grown up. thanks for posting.

Nice Birds and believe me your birds know the hawk is there pigeons have incredible eyesight that may be why those 2 birds don't want to come outside Good Luck
i know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Briggs Jefferson I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Myles Zayd yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since march myself :)
@Myles Zayd Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!
@Briggs Jefferson you are welcome =)
This is why i like pigeons, theyre the only bird i kno of that u can let fly out in the open n they come back on their own. Plus theyre cute! I want some
SAMMIsLIFE yes great hobby to get involved in mate.
how do you get them to come back? if I buy a pigeon will it stay with me?
keep them in for a while and put a cage on the front so they can see their surroundings, My latest video on trap training should help you. Cheers

do you have to pay to go into competition and do you win money or a prize for the best rollers in competition. great cvideo
+john coelho Thanks John, you join a club to fly in comp and a fee to enter the flying if you decide, winners get trophies and other things I think the top flier does get some money.

Nice layout, I'm planning to raise quails, rabbits and pigeons in the future. How do you get your pigeons back in their home? Do they go inside when it's dark?
+Jahed Ullah if left alone yes they would go in before dark, mine go in because they know that is where the food is served.
They get used to the time that u feed em I shake the food and they come straight away Down this way it will train them
The destroyers.mm.... bbbbbbh
This might sound a bit stupid but I want to start keeping pigeons and I was wondering how u get them tagged

Alot of people in citys keep pigeons Will and if you train them they wont be sitting on other peoples houses causing problems.
***** I'll try to have a group of them. They're very loyal and never leave us. Even though we don't feed them enough food they fly away to find some food and come back every evening.

Your main problem is you're allowing them to breed too young. I understand you're experienced so I may be talking nonsense.
+Rex888dA yes i only had mostly young birds when i first started, they are better if 2 yrs old.
***** Ah, I guess you've learnt then. Sorry, I'm part of a pigeon rescue page, they're quite pushy about responsible breeding and contraceptives.
I actually had my own pigeons when i was 10 years old also spent alot of time with my grandfather who had a passion for his, so I do know a fair bit about them, its not that one year old birds are not old enough to breed more the cocks are inexperienced at treading the hens and you end up with hit and miss hatches.
