When real time gps is available then lots of new fanciers will begin racing pigeons. It will bring people back to the sport. It will be amazing to watch live racing .
I also have skyleader. Remember, it's like drawing a dot-to-dot puzzle, and appears like a straight line. However, the dots are actually time intervals. So, if the dots are close together....something has happened to slow down the birds. Maybe they got tired going uphill, maybe they circled an obstacle, maybe they stopped and rested or got a drink. It wont draw curves. Only straight lines. Check at each dot, and it will tell you their speed at that point. As you dig deep, you can tell where they are slowing down. Hope this helps. It's the coolest pigeon invention yet. Thanks for sharing.
That is very helpful information!! Thanks for sharing that with me! I agree, and how cool will it be when the house tech is in place for real time gps tracking; that will resurrect the spot
Really nice to be able to see all the path of the birds... See the choices they make. Fantastic video man... I'm a subscriber from Brazil being inspired by your videos.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am amazed by pigeons. I've flown birds for many years and I've always wanted to track my birds route. I will have to get some of those. Thank you again
There is a screen on their website that will show altitude. You can see altitude with very detail. If they're grounding/drinking you should be able to spot it.
so the lesson here is to pick the release points for training directly in line of path of the actual race release points to the loft (if you know the race release points). it would be interesting to know if the 2nd bird also took a detour to the training release point instead of flying in a straight line.
That is how I do my training, but maybe others do it differently?? And yes, the second bird did detour to the previous release site! It went slightly more north toward my loft location though. Thanks for weighing in!!
You should take flights in small aircraft, see what the birds see at thousands of feet. Probably be amazed at how far you can see from those heights, what stands out, etc. Considering that your birds detoured slightly is interesting. Might want to work around that. Thanks for uploading. Cheers
Hi James, they did well didn't they. It must have been very hot, it had shook them up a bit. The GPS rings are brilliant. Well done James. Now you have got the rings you can find the breaking point. It looks like it's a bit lower down. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND 🌟💯👍👍
It was hot indeed! Yes, I want to do a toss with another loft and have a ring on one of his birds and a ring on one of mine. Could be really valuable info there! Kevin did a good job! 😁
Excellent video buddy would love to see if you could show Kevin and max's flight paths on the same screen as they arrived at diff intervals so must have made a diff choice in the route . Just a thought but love the videos hail hail from glasgow scotland 👍👍
Hey thanks James!! I know there is a way to do that, but in this video I was still fumbling about the software, figuring it out as I went. They solid take different routes as you pointed out. I will try to have that together for next time. Hey my roots are Scottish🏴!! Thanks for the comment and support!
Wow this is fantastic James. I’m still in my first week of loft flying and I had 2 birds that didn’t come home yesterday. Man how it would be awesome to know what happened? Where’d they go? What path did they take? Etc. I hope it serves you well. Have a good day
Oh man! Sorry you have 2 birds MIA! Hopefully they will find their way back. Each year I lose a few the first time out. The earlier you can get them out on the landing board the better! Good luck and let me know if the 2 make it back,
Robertson Family Racing Pigeons (James), Really Cool Video! Started following ya for a little bit now and enjoy your videos! Hoping to get some Birmingham Roller Pigeons soon! Would care and breeding be about the same for racing pigeons as Birmingham Roller pigeons? Also what part of Utah as you mention in the beginning of the video? Utah Viewer here!
Hi Mike! That is great to hear! Rollers are awesome; that’s the breed I started with as a teenager in Provo. Basic health and care will be essentially the same for all breeds of pigeons. Going from rollers to racing pigeons is an easy jump my friend. I think you should add them 😁😁
They do at first but then after as the race progresses the stronger ones tend to break away from the main flock. By the end the birds tend to arrive in small groups, and sometimes one at a time.
@@RFRP let's watch this video out !! They are the Best Long distance birds in Europe!! What do you think about it? My friend.! th-cam.com/video/sSazMDLHrQ0/w-d-xo.html
How do we know MAX didn't cheat and stop at a gas station for shortcut directions? PS - I hunt very close to where you tossed them... Beautful area! It would be great if they made a tiny lightweight go-pro with gps. That way ypu could see what they're seeing, along with a popup screen so you ould watch their POV and their progress on the map at the same time.
😆 Shoot! Maybe Max did! 😆 Hey that’s cool you know the area! Where are you located? Yes, I cannot wait until technology like you described is available. How cool will that be?!!
@RFRP I've lived in MD and VA my whole life. Lived in Hagerstown, Frederick, Forest Hill, Overlea, Parkville, Perry Hall, and Lake Ridge, VA. But I really enjoy Western MD. Beautiful country, and good salt-of-the-earrh people.
Hi sir, how are you, I m from India, my friends have lots of pigeon ,his pigeon playing racing tournament, n his pigeon 700 km in one day, so can you guied us about gps, how it's work
Thanks for the comment! 🇮🇳Great to hear about your friend’s pigeons! I’m going to do some videos about GPS rings in the next couple of weeks, so please continue to follow
Great question!! Elevation data and the wind direction would be really interesting!!! The bands do track elevation data, I just haven't pointed that out in the videos yet, but I will do that next time. I'll try to get wind data as well. Great suggestion, and thanks!
Haha! I scrape half the floor daily. The sections under the perches get cleaned out periodically and fresh wood chips get put down. I am behind on my deep clean obviously, due to being down with Covid for nearly 3 weeks. Thanks for watching-next time hopefully you’ll see some fresh wood chips down. 😁
How fun to know you’re from out my way. I flew racing pigeons during my growing up years with my father in Brigham City. I have fond memories of spending time with him and flying birds. I just recently started up again, but I’m having a terrible time with the raptors. Almost every time I loft fly, the Cooper Hawks are attacking them. I’ve lost so many to them. It’s very discouraging. I haven’t let them out for over two weeks now. I’ve tried keeping them in for two or three days hoping the migrating hawks will move along. I’ve also tried letting them fly at different times of the day. I don’t want to give up yet. Any advice is welcome. The GPS bands are so awesome! My father would have been so excited about this possibility.
That is awesome! Brigham City was our first race station. Hawks: that sounds super frustrating!! I would stop flying your birds for the next few months. Winter is notoriously bad with hawks. Start letting them out again in the spring. Good luck and keep me posted!
Here you can see a pigeon that traveled over 950km, crossing the Carpathian Mountains, being attacked 3 times by a hawk th-cam.com/video/nO8lDl-m36I/w-d-xo.html
This could be a interesting way to scam people by selling them and telling the person that it’s allowed to free fly and will come back by whistling and at the end of the day you get the bird back and some money 💀

Do the pigeons flock together when in race?
They do at first but then after as the race progresses the stronger ones tend to break away from the main flock. By the end the birds tend to arrive in small groups, and sometimes one at a time.
