I tried flying 11 today but #64 decided not to leave the loft, just watched everybody else fly off, turned round and walked back in :confused:. The other 10 flew well then the neighbour released his pigeons and they all flew together! I'm not sure if this is a good thing but it is keeping mine in the air longer! They all came back after about 30 mins. I didn't do a lob though as the weather has taken a turn for the worse. Just a question for all, how bad would the weather have to be before you didn't fly your birds? Obviously I'm not gonna fly them in heavy rain or a hurricane! But how bad would you leave it?

Maybe 64 just wasn't in the mood for a fly? :idunno

I have let mine out in a light rain thinking they would just sit on the roof and enjoy the shower - they took off and flew, not as long or as far as usual but still:confused: A few days ago there was a group of about 8 from the feral flock that briefly joined up with mine before pealing off to their home in one of the lumberyard buildings across the street. So cool you have a big group flying now! I believe I know how you feel seeing them.:D

It is great watching them fly. I'm not sure what my neighbour thinks! Effectively now, my whole loft flys apart from humf. I'm not sure how to deal with him. I may leave it a couple more weeks and let him out with #64. He nevers flys too far away. The one with the broken wing is still in a cage in my living room. She looks so sad. I want to let her out in the house but I don't want to risk her wing breaking again before it's fully heald.

I feel ya! Doba is still in a cage alone and every day I tell myself I need to try her in the loft. But the back of her head and neck still has a scab and no feathers so IDK. Did you have a squab scalped? If so, how long did it take to heal?

Squeak got scalped. I never took her out the loft though. I don't think it was as bad as what doba is. It took about 4 weeks to heal completely but she did have a feather that was stuck straight up for ages after!
 
Speaking of baths, Java looks like he had a long one.
