Nice pigeon training daily do practise I hope next time your birds you will be won
Thanks 🙏
Tough luck on that one, especially for your buddy. Survival of the fittest, though.
Yes I hated to have that happen but last year I lost 17 on a similar toss so it kind of has a way of working out. Thanks for watching my friend ✌️
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons you win some, you lose some.
Mike, keep an eye on the birds. I had a bad toss and the ones that came back late (I think) brought some sort of virus. To date, I had 17 dead pigeons. They came back throwing up
I have about 8 dead so far and I’m hearing similar problems all over the country. Thanks for sharing that with me my friend. I hope things are getting better for you now
Young bird disease ? Adeno virus is very common specialy after a hard race for young birds .I give them Yakult ,i mix it with the food and it works great .
Rota virus
Most likely if your pigeons are ybs they are infected with adenovirus once they come home from a toss or a race vomitting and having diarhhea. Young pigeons would not last for a week if infected while yearlings can recover. In our country, all races are prohibited until now to counter the spread of these viruses, PMV, One eye cold and the dreaded Avian Flu. Transport of birds are not allowed and in some areas ranging or releasing from loft is not allowed. Import/Export are also not allowed. Always clean and disinfect your loft. Prohibit visitations from other fanciers and no flying will be the best solution and do not overbreed. Just sharing

It's happened sometimes we don't what they encounter.
Well hopefully you get all your birds back and I hope Scott dose too
Thanks my friend
I hate you had a bad toss. Hopefully you can fatten them up a little and get them back on track.
Have faith rocky I think it's probably Falcons but it happens man your gonna do good brother just keep the love at with the birds and be safe brother 😎
All we can do is keep trying. I think it will work out 👍
Hey hopefully you get them all back.
all but ten and a couple of them I had high hopes for but I guess you never know what happens to them out there!
Hi Mike sorry to hear that but I am glad most are back probably they were attached. One time my friend and I took all our birds for training toss and we had the same experience. One of mine came back after few days with breast all torn. Hope it gets better after this😘😘😘👍👍👍
I hope it gets better, time will tell! There is so much going on out there that any thing could happen. Thanks my friend
🇵🇱👍
😃🙏✌️
If your training the birds to get used to the timing pad why not put it in the loft on the other side of the traps that way the birds get used to it on race days .Here ln the UK you would be disqualified for having the electronic system on the outside of a loft .
I have heard that other countries the timing pad has to be on the inside of the loft but our only rule here is the pad needs to be on the loft. So we put it in front of the trap to make sure that the birds clock in when they go in for a drink. also some birds change their mind on going in after they reach the trap but I still have them clocked in. Thanks for your comment my friend.
Nice video sir...
Glad you like it, thanks for watching
We'll be watching for the update. How many returned? When the hawk came into view we were worried with you. Then the video ended soon after leaving us hoping for both of you and the birds safe returns. Thank you for making these videos. Bill & Sunni
10 didn’t make it home and 5 didn’t make it on the first race. So down to 54. Thanks for watching my friends 😁👍🙏✌️
Good luck my friend
Thanks 🙏
👍
🙏👍😁
Adenovirus!!
Young bird disease!!!
It very well could be, thanks 🙏
Good luck for next week racing Mike.
Thank you my friend 👍
Witaj przyjacielu miło Cię widzieć oraz twoje gołębie, pozdrawiamy Ewa i Andrzej Polska
miło mi cię słyszeć, mam nadzieję, że wszystko w porządku mój przyjacielu
Big losses are always tough, I used to race in the K.C. club kansas city area . I think we have lost all of my old club members , I'm not sure if we still have any racers in the areas . I would to love to get some birds again. I raced and had different kinds of birds for about 20 years
I hope you’re able to keep racing, such a wonderful past time. Best of luck my friend
it's happened sometimes
Waiting for the next update
Thanks for watching
It's a good thing that you got most of them back but in this business only the real Warriors Will Survive and make it back
I hear you Abraham, that is always in back of my mind that the good ones will make it. Thanks for your support brother
Hi Rock, yeah I just wanna ask you a question I just noticed two of my homeless they’ve been flying fine eating fine and doing everything as normal but I know this could be the weather was very hot today. I don’t know, but I noticed that one of my birds Was acting like he was throwing up but he wasn’t throwing up nothing this was this afternoon but I never saw him do it again just one time I never saw him do it again I checked on him before in the evening and he’s fine what you think he can possibly have a coming onto something can you help?
There’s no way for me to tell why your pigeon was doing that but I know some of mine acted that way on very hot days when I used to feed corn. The corn was too heavy for some of them. Other than that just make sure they are wormed and have fresh clean water available at all times. Best of luck with your little guy 🙏
We never want to lose birds but it's better now than at race time!! You'll get most of them back still.
Thanks buddy, only missing 10 now 👍
Oh no my TH-cam friend how many is back on total ?
60 back missing 10-12
Sorry to hear that Mike, hopefully scott get more birds back.
Thank you and Scott is up to 8 👍
Very risky spot under the power lines 🙈 lucky not to get any birds hitting the wires
I agree I didn’t like that release spot at all
I hope there are more to come
Thanks Dirk, Only missing 12 now
Hello Mike
Hello 👋
Is this the first time you have trained your birds with other fanciers pigeons?
Second time
Check out the pioneer pigeon racing in Canada they have 1600 miles under the wing on there third race you should watch there video's
most likly they are racing old birds, young bird training is much diferent. thanks for your comment
I need few birds. Ship me a few to Oklahoma
No problem brother, check out my site you can find a link to it in the description of this video
Don’t see it.

@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons is not opening
I know you were doing a combined toss but if you release your birds in smaller groups like 20 at a time then wait 10 to 15 minutes after they disappear before you let the next group go you will have less chances of the birds in the back of the group hitting power lines and barbed wire fences and they will be less enticing for falcons versus a real big group of course single tossing is king but not everyone has all day to do that or even groups of 5 is good to makes the birds think for themselves that way they will leave the flock first on race day to head home instead of circling and circling with the big group for 30 minutes or more
Thanks for your thoughts my friend 🙏👍😁
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons No problem my dad raced pigeons since he was a kid back in the 60s all the way up until 2014 then he moved and got out of them due to health reasons and retirement I soaked up all the information from him over the years he was a long distance racer he lived for the 400 500 and 600 mile races and won most of them his last 600 mile race he had the only day bird and took 1st 2nd and 3rd
How are they doing in racing
First race is in 7 days, Sunday
How many birds do you need to enter a race?
1
For me to make it worthwhile I like to have at least 35 birds because the entry fee is the same for 1 up to 72 in our club. We can race 36 birds in the a race and 36 in the B race
There is no way that you should ever beat the birds home . A health issue exists my thoughts point to Rota virus.
I feel there’s many reasons why you could beat them home. Wind, birds of prey, over feeding just to name a few, thanks for your comment
Mike just so you know we have a big problem with returns here at the club many members me included have a sickness with birds we don’t know what hit them looking at your birds I can see they have the same open mouth and confused look to them we was thinking it may be a young bird sickness but is beyond that we try different medication the one it work the best is amoxicillin 10 % better 20% in the water for seven days it clear it out slowly I was out for two weeks from the races but I’m shipping tonight Saturday for Sunday .
We had the same problem like you very slow returns on long tosses most come in the next days just passing the info to you something is going on we really don’t know what it hit the birds just to let you know .
We me included lost minimum amount of birds with this sickness have a good racing season.
Yes I have had a very tough time this year with young birds. Lots of sickness and setbacks. sorry to hear you had lost birds to sickness and also I have lost around eight of them. I did put them on an anabiotic for seven days and it seem to help. last year was completely different and never had one bird sick. Thanks for sharing my friend and I hope you do well moving forward
I wouldn’t worry too much about it they will be back anything could have happen everyone is training there birds …..Probably hooked up with other birds along the way and got dragged in a different direction. Have faith bro I’m sure you’ll get more back maybe your losses will be 5-8 if that
Right now I’m missing 11 but like you said it got much better. Didn’t get any today though. Thanks for your comment 👍
Birds are way too skinny, especially the dark check at the end who returned with it's mouth wide open and it's wings draggin. They have no fuel reserve in their tanks to make the trip.
I agree, and that poor bird flew for eight hours. I’m working on correcting that!
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons .. Good deal. Birds store fat for their energy reserves and if they have no fat in storage, as soon as it is depleted during a race or when strenuous flying is in order for any length of time, the body starts using and burning away muscle to replace the fat fuel in their bodies. Hence the reason why you feed distance birds more fat containing seeds for the last couple of days before basketing to a race. You can do the same thing for middle distance as well, it won't hurt them at all and their muscles will benefit from the extra fuel reserves that they store a couple of days before a race, especially if it's gonna be a tough one with a headwind or hot weather.
Probably got stooped on by a falcon and scattered of course I've had coopers and goshawks chase in the air like a falcon too they will probably show up later scattered I've got a sharpshin bothering mine every few days, if you have skinny birds feed them raw unsalted sunflower kernels/hearts or raw spanish peanuts and plenty of good grit especially if you are flying them a lot minerals are very important the more you fly the more minerals they need minerals are the building blocks of the body all health depends on minerals more than any vitamin they get their vitamins from the food, sometimes even play sand is helpful in them getting what they need remember wild pigeons and doves spend many hours a day on the ground picking up minerals as well as food let them eat dirt it's got minerals in it, it won't hurt them as long as it's not contaminated dirt you can burn the dirt over fire or heat it in a dutch oven or any oven to burn off any contaminants before you give it to them my birds love eating the store bought play sand, small gravels from riverbeds works good also. When you do the dark system that takes a lot out of your birds mineral wise
Thanks for all your great thoughts my friend. It’s nice that you share so many tips with me and believe me I listen
Jump too far and their not in condition.
Quite possible my friend ✌️
