So with the baby 19 days old the parents started another clutch. I’m pretty happy.

Yup, they are poop "aimers" lol. My squabs and brooding parents will hang their butts over the nest bowl in order to poop outside their nest bowl rather than in it. Just goes to show, pigeons don't just poop automatically like many people think, they can control and aim it to some degree! And, they also will move it around when it's in their way or somewhere they don't want it!

... speaking of control,

That’s pretty funny.

I believe that happens with all white or mostly white pigeons.

@Thepigeonguy I love that breed! I'd love to know more about yours. Don't get discouraged, I think you've been having bad predator probs harassing your birds causing all sorts of other problems. What are you feeding and how are your setups?

Well I’m not an expert on them and I haven’t flown them so I can’t tell you much. This website is the best for turkish tumblers. http://turkishtumblers.com/
It’s an awesome sight and I highly recommend it, however it will occasionally have server trouble. If it doesn’t work the first time wait an hour or 2 then try again.

I have lost quite a few birds over the winter I am down to 23 adults. Snowy owls have move in and lay in ambush along with some grey coloured hawks crow size. That have chased my birds but never caught any in my sight.

Loss is part of the pigeon game and it is heart breaking at times.

@laughingdog i didn’t see the last part of your post, I will post pictures of my 2 lofts. I’m feeding them a crumble right now however I want to get a different mix as the birds are not fans.

@Hokun Coco, you cant shoot those vermin legally with fireworks or pepper shot ect? as know you wouldn't kill them.
