I think Nuggets ready to start eating by himself! He’s been picking at small bits of things on the blanket I have him on, as well as buttons on my phone

Still waiting for the darn check to get to the breeder. The mail is so slow these days.

Pigeons had a great training session today! They go insane for peanuts. They are instantly in the air when I whistle (I learned, I learned!). But... they also like coming before I whistle. Anyway to fix that? The pigeons had a great time, but my arm did not

The pigeons don’t like flying out more than five or six feet, and they become lazy and just fly to the ground. So I call them back in to my arm and put them back on their ledge. They don’t havd the nest landing skills either, often overshooting or landing on each other.

don't give them the treat if they come to early. this is the hardest part of training, I think.
