    Double kit box

    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...

    Double kit box

    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...

    Double kit box

    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...

    Pigeons mating and breeding

    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.

    Meal worms for peafowl

    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 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...

    I need help with a l'il mystery ;)

    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.

    I need help with a l'il mystery ;)

    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...

    3 month old homing pigeons. to old to rehome?

    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...

    new to the game.

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

    Went to pick up 2 female pigeons for $5 each...

    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...

    3 month old homing pigeons. to old to rehome?

    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.

    Fantail Uncaged??

    Unless you just got them, no they should not fly off. However leaving the loft open day and night is not smart. You may be fine at first but something is going to get it. You may think you don't have Hawk problems now, but wait till they spot a pretty little fantail waddling around the yard...

    Random question =)

    Pigeon will stay fertile for a good amount of time. I know of multiple reports of birds over 10 years producing, both cocks and hens.

    Pigeon cage idea?

    Those cages look smaller then 6square feet but even if they are I wouldn't do it. Sure they can live in there and could do fine but it's like you living in your laundry room.

    How's this pen sound?

    Thanks for the replies. This is only to give them a roasting spot at night. By building it 7' high I can provide great protection. The two people I know here with Peafowl don't give them anything at all. They use tall shade fencing for roast. I will think things over and see what I can do. The...

    would there be any point?

    Rollers are Hawk magnets. They appear weak and sick. I would suggest some Tipplers or High flyers. Hawks will migrate and many will probably move a little lower to you. There is also less food. How many do you plan on keeping? Plan on breeding ect?
