I bought several pairs of different pigeons and doves and took them to my farm... kept them in cages for 3 days, then opened the doors... they would always just hang out and watch me work
I know everyone on here might not agree with this method because they think it will permanently damage their Pigeons wings but actually it doesn’t it just causes them some temporary discomfort that’s all but what I do is pull their flight feathers on one side of the wing then let them out each day so that they can explore the backyard for like about a half hour up to one hour but You have to supervise them during that time because without their flights they are sitting ducks if a predator decides to attack them but You keep on releasing them in Your yard each day for about a month that is the time it will take for their feathers to grow back and once this process is completed their is a good chance Your birds won’t return to their previous owners loft.
Good luck with them. I re-homed several and they stayed after I let them out. I still have a few left but I got rid of most of them to make room for my whites and grizzles.
I'd keep them all together in the same loft and for at least 3 months so their memory of their previous home is gone then just open the trap door and allow them to slowly explore and in their own time.
It’s possible to be home just tried and see just be patient with chronic anything possible pencil how you take care of you no way you take care yourself you’re a good bird breeder good bird hobbyist I’ve been watching you for a while I believe you can do it take your time brother
Let one or two go at a time with your other birds so they get used to where they live . Do you turn the radio on to Marvin Gay tunes😂, you should get the yellow micro fiber bags to put in a shop vact , no dust at all .We had are lot dog and his name was Ruegur . My dad took him to the farm one day to stretch his legs , well , he ran up the mountain and kept running 😂😂 , we seen wanted posters of him for 3 years because he was chasing the farmers cows/horses/ eating their chicken's , the posters said to shoot on site. He was spotted in West Va. , Then PA , and MD. He was a tough Dog for sure 💯 he lasted 3 more years from the last sighting of him. We told are dad not to let him go , he said look at him stretching his legs 😂😂😂 , last time we ever saw him except on posters in 3 states , crazy dog but Smart.
One time not long ago I had a pigeons that I got from someone and I kept them for 7 months, one of them came out, he took off so fast, didn’t even stayed for half a minute 😂😂 i don’t see him anymore !!!il. I guess he was a good bird !👍👍😂
@@abcloft302 a true Homer from what I've been told always go home. No matter how long you keep them up .Always home were they were hatched. My statement was to blunt no harm intended.
I have done it. Pair them up release one at a time see what happens give it some time first about eight months to a year. Let them get comfortable with the loft and u.
I rehomed a 2017 cock bird in a week 😆 he mated with a hen that was already settled... I had young birds never been flown kept them in for 30 days and once I let them out they took off 😂.. I have learned is up to that individual bird if he gonna stay or not ....
Starve them for 24 hours before you let them out. Always work for my dad when we homed racers also have a couple of birds that are already getting out.

I've rehomed a few times
Build outside enclosure and let them go in and out
As they wish after three months take enclosure down all set
I saw the episode when he gave you the black hen at the Lancaster Show.

Let them out gradually, with other birds and they must be hungry. 8 months is enough time for them to be broken in to their new home. 👍
