That bird was being a prisoner for sure 😂
I remember feeding chicken pellets and corn too! nobody believe me because I was winning. great video! Ad schaerlacken said the least thing you worry about is feed in pigeon.
Great tips about food 👍👍👍👍❤️
.. The feeding of racing pigeons is an art.
💯🙏👍😁
The birds are looking great as always brother and flying like race horses. God bless and good luck with your breeding.
Yep seems to be working out well so far my friend. Email me about the HVR…. rockyridge0725@gmail.com
Hi Mike so happy that your bird is back home. It feels so great to see that. 😘😘😘👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹
🤩🤩
Hi Mike, I'm very happy that your pigeon returned - it's awesome news!😊 Take care👋
Thanks and keep up the good work your doing with the hurt ones
going to start feeding my pigeons pellets after seeing this.
Very nice looking birds

Thank you my friend, glad you like them 👍
You’re right,, we can learn more just watching them ❤❤
A little observation goes a long way doesn’t it my friend.
Glad to see your bird returned. I agree with you Mike, as for me I like to keep things simple for me and my birds. Do what works for you and enjoy the hobby 😊
Yep, it’s all about enjoying the birds if it ever becomes a hassle, then kind of missing the point of having Pigeons. I’ve been there and you ever want them to become a job.. Hope things are going well with the breeding. Be looking for an update.✌️
Congrats on the return! Birds look great!👍 Someone keeping your bird could be unintentional. Not everyone that has birds pays as close attention to the birds as others. Had a guy in the club show up to basketing night, handed a bird over to a club member to scan, it wasn’t even his. It had a chip ring on it and he thought it was his, it was from another club.
Yeah, it’s hard to believe that people have that many birds they don’t know which ones are theirs. I know the moment I have a different bird in my loft but you are correct. It’s happening to a lot of us. Because everyone lost so many birds this year.
Thanks for the feeding tip Mike! I’m going to get some layer pellets and corn this weekend.
It will take them a few days to get used to the pellets, but a little hunger will help a lot with that. Good luck. I hope it works as for you as it has for me.
I learnt a thing or two with this video today. Thank you so much Mike, for sharing with us ❤
Thanks my friend, I’m no expert, but I’m always happy to share what I’m doing with my Pigeons.
The birds look wonderful 😘😘😘👍👍👍
Thanks my friend
Mike your birds always look in great condition.
Thank you, Arcee. I hope all is well, my friend.😁
I like your videos thank you Mike.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the support.
WoW‼️That's neat.
Thanks for watching 😃
See, this exactly what I’m talking about t, that bird returned from the race you sent it to, and it looks like it was in some one loft , something fishy going on with whoever brings them from the club to release
Really nice video Mike keep on keeping on with your regime it's working 👌
Glad you like the video, different things work for different people and I believe it’s because pigeons are very adaptable. Just don’t want people to go broke buying those expensive commercial feeds. Thanks for watching and commenting.
incredibul
Thanks buddy
Its crazy we lost a bird nd found a bird more less the same days
Corn and pellets is great but in racing it makes them super thirsty and hard to get light in weight , but like u said everyone has there own method, u might toss and fly more then I do ...
Absolutely, everybody has a different take on what works and what doesn’t for me being thirsty in a race is a good thing. They will come home sooner or more likely to take a drink from the truck and you know that always helps. Keep up the hobby, my friend👍
Exactly you watch them and you will know what is happening. Keep it simple and you will enjoy it. I feed chicken pellets also we don’t have any feed store selling pigeon feed so I found out pellets work great. It has all the vitamins and minerals also 👍👍👍
Yeah, you know it must be healthy if they are giving it to chickens to produce nutritious eggs. Pigeons can make the best of any food but when it’s easily digestible like that and a complete diet, what more could we ask for?
Mike I've been feeding my pigeons pellets since 1992 and a healthy and they fly great
It takes some of us a little longer to catch on my friend. lol 😆 but I’m glad to hear it’s working out for you all this time 👍
👍👍👍
✌️😁🙏👍
Mike your feeding plan sounds awesome! Whenever you can take overpriced Chewy out of the picture is great IMO.
Yes these commercial feeds are way overpriced and gimmicky.
It’s amazing how sometimes it takes a while for birds to return. I agree with you though I believe she was in someone else’s loft. Good luck with your breeding season.
I can’t see it being intentional someone holding my bird, but it certainly does seem suspicious. When there is a strange bird in my loft, I know it immediately! That bird was gone just about two months Very surprised it showed up. That’s great Homing instinct
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons yes I have had it to happen before. It’s very strange when it does.
I lost a young bird of the loft .It returned fourteen month later.
Crackcorn can damage the throat causing cranker, atleast thats what ive read a decade ago
Cracked corn gets moldy easier Aflatoxin
Oh, OK, that makes sense. Thank you.
Mike, have you used layer pellets for when they are feeding offspring? Curious to hear.
Yes, I started that about four months ago with my black eagle Loft and aside from the droppings being a little bit loose. The young birds are thriving. Just a great all-around alternative.
That’s interesting about the red grit. I have been giving my birds a grit mix and they pick out the red grit. Do you feed the same to your rollers?
I feed the same feed to all the (Rollers) except the ones I am flying, but I am about to experiment with that and see if there is any changes in their flight times and performance. Thanks for asking.
That's right Mike, these are the easiest birds to take care of. They really just need to be approached like a dummy and stop over-intellectualizing them. If you need weeks and weeks to learn a method, then I can assure you, it hardly works and if it makes any difference is it makes the birds worse lol I love it when a bird arrives from months of being AWOL. I always reckon they were on their own. At times from a race they might join up with another breakaway flock and end up in another fancier's loft, but I prefer they get "lost" or go fly-about on their own and learn to survive. When they come back, they really know what's what. yeah I been a subscriber since the days of the white pigeons. I started dominating races in my region when I started asking myself one very obvious question: Why should the pigeons fly hard and fast to my loft. What is their motivation? You think they know you want them to come home fast and nearly fly themselves out of breath over all the other birds just to come to loft and "win a race?"They don't even know they are in a race lol lol That's why I can't win a one loft race, but club races and combines, those I can do something about (when the wind is not out to get me lol) since they are flying home to the loft where something is waiting for them. Something limited and something they all want and something they know if they get home first, they will have most of. I have two feeding calls. One feeding call that's just normal like everybody else and another call that they learnt to associate with raw peanuts. ;-)
Thanks for the great comment my friend, great information. I never thought of a separate call for peanuts, but they’re definitely smart enough to differentiate. Continue winning them races, my friend 👍
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons When they know what that call means, you make it when they are loaded in the back of your truck and make sure to pour that peanuts in the feeder. Drive. Let us see if they have their own reason to race to the loft huh?
Crack corn is no good that 50/50 is perfect i had birds for 15 years i am going to start up soon looking for a house with a big yard so i could build a loft
Yeaup, you are a fancier. You are moving for the sake of the birds. I found at least an acreage out of town to be super fun. Especially when the acreage is not downwind from the city or town.
@@Grootman yea bro i had birds for over 15 years i cried when i had to gave them away i loved to raised and fly them have over a 100 closed to 150 won races but i had to move to USA and where i live i can't build 1 so i used you tube as therapy hope your birds do u well
@@cleavonmclean8103 I think my results are great, but hey, I think my stock needs new blood or maybe just old blood from the old world that has been getting improved for hundreds of years. Too bad about the move. I can't even moving that far out.
Great tips on how to care for Homer facts chino les 👆
Thanks for watching my friend
*PromoSM* 😡
