Yes, you're right, they are straight flyers. Tipplers were originally bred for competition flying. The name of the game is who's birds can stay up the longest. The catch is they must be seen at least once an hour or they are DQ. Because of this they stay very close to the loft. and will fly...

Thanks you. A lot of time was spent planning this out. Must thank my neighbor Tim who made it possible by allowing us to use his wood shop and teaching us proper carpentry. Of Course that's what it's for. Tipplers in this one, NY Flights in another and for the third one side tumblers and the...

BIRDS ARE GONE BIRDS ARE GONEBIRDS ARE GONEBIRDS ARE GONE

Wanted to share the kit box my brother and I just finished up. Offer up a way to keep pigeons in a clean and organized manner. We have done the walk in loft style and now a kit box. These would not be useful for show birds. We work three breeds and they all are flyers. We only have on built now...

Here is a video of some of my birds. Contact info is in the video description. Please contact me through (if interested) it as I am not on here often. Thanks.

They will settle in. I took in 9 pairs once and tossed them into breeding. I had eggs from some in 10-12 days which is as early as could happen. You may have a bad egg count first round but give it some time.

Well I have only had birds for about 6 months but mine love superworms! They can't get enough. The three can easily tare through 100 a night if I let them. However I don't feed them the worms daily maybe once a week or so. I am going to get them some Dubia roaches and give that a try.

... I feel bad for what I have done and need a solution. I suppose I got these birds with some ignorance on my part. Now the good news. I have 3 neighbors property who touch mine. 1 is just a corner. 1 who lives behind me who's yard my birds now rummage in late in the evening.These neighbors at...

Not the bird, but rather the way it is bred. Some of these guys push them all year round. Also using pumpers as well so they can push even more eggs out. So I would suppose that wears them down quick.

Good deal, definitely a good looking egg! Yeah 3 years is nothing for most Pigeons. Now for a show breeder it is getting old. I don't show but a buddy does and say they toss them (breeders) at 4 years. =[ They push them many times and will breed them all year long so it takes its course quickly...

That is not what I mean. I am referring to birds that are born and never fly. Not taking a winter Hawk break. I know they can be settled in. In fact that is what my post reads. All I said was some and many will debate this. I am not one of them. I fly Tipplers and not Homers. I am a member...

I would give her a few days to settle in and start holding her and petting and what not.

Hey good deal. I just responded to your other thread.. Yes you could fly the young ones. I would wait at least two months and train them hard and good before letting them out. You will need to take them out in your yard in a basket and such. The old ones are prisoners and pairs so just lock them...

Can it be done? Yes it can, should it? Well some would debate that. Yes lock them up and settle them in. Feed call them and trap train and they will be okay. Do you already have Homers? Many would say that if a Homer has gone 60 days without flying it is too late and will effect it's ability.
