    I have noticed that local Mockingbirds mob and peck at the hawks too. Perhaps putting up a simple outdoor bird feeder may attract these hawk fighters to your area too. The Blue Jays also seem to peck at the hawks. I really like the idea of the raven sound speaker. You have good neighbors!

    • @RFRP

      Yes, mockingbirds, jays, crows, ravens and related birds all seem to exhibit the same hate and behavior towards hawks. Really interesting behavior I think.
      And yes, I do have great neighbors indeed!!

    Nice update! Birds look nice and you got a very nice flock now! What? No hoodie method? What? Lol ... sometimes you get a bird that isn't the best built bird and turns out to be a good racer! My CJC SS Champion YB was never really a model bird but she had the urge to race home fast... so you never know the winning gene my be inside of them. Best of luck racing buddy

      Where are you located? My advice would be to find someone local who has healthy pigeons that you could get a few from just to get started. At first, the most important thing is to make sure the birds are healthy and to get experience caring for them. I'm glad you and your brother are interested in pigeons. It is really fun to have them! Good luck and keep me posted!

      A quality mix of feed with a mix of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Or pellets (for pigeons or chickens). Grit is also very important to have for the birds.

      I may have something available in a few months. If/when I do I’ll let people know in a video. If you are just getting started you may also be able to find a local breeder that can help you get a few birds. Go to the American Racing Pigeon Union website, and then Find a Club. They will put you in touch with a representative with the nearest club. Hopefully they can provide info about local breeders etc

    Nice footage! Birds are flying good... I wouldn't buy from that vendor ever again after their shipping fiasco. They as vendors should know that the vaccine needed to be cold during shipment, but went ahead anyway and shipped it general delivery, screwing you over, even though you mistakenly forgot to select "overnight" They should have contacted you to let you know what you had done before they shipped the order out.. Very sad business practices for sure!
