We had a bird from Canada with us for a couple of months vacation ended he then went home! Yes the hail storms and wind sheer are very hard on the birds. We had one show up with a french band on ?? Never figured that one out!
The last two yrs have been very hard on the birds for whatever reason. Birds that have been flown for 4yrs and won from 300/ 500 miles away have gotten lost?? In Europe two years ago an entire race flight failed to come home ???
My husband has been racing pigeons for decades. If you are taking a trip or know someone who is send this guy. He should go home from the new release.How far are you from the birds ex owner and what direction is he from you?? Go at least 50 miles towards him.If you wish to keep they do share...
