I am retired and am able to devote a lot of time toward "MY HOBBY". I find the birds on a good year break even. My market is Moncton New Brunswick Canada and surrounding area which is a population of about 80,000 people.I was wondering if there was anyone else out there that found this business successful
Your schedule is "NOT" ideal for this type of business.
Training and conditioning takes up untold hours of your time.
I have to take that out of the equation when factoring my operation.
Most of my business comes from funerals
"Weddings seem to be in DECLINE near me that is where the money is"
I do not charge for funerals and am a poor business man.
I rely solely on the generosity of the family to compensate my birds. Some funerals I have done for no compensation. I find it hard to give much advice on your situation. No two markets are the same. @sourland mentioned "NOT" to free fly your birds and I am in total agreement with that statement it is not his first rodeo when it comes to pigeons either.
I would like to help you more unfortunately there are "too many variables" in your market to comment wisely not to mention your life style.
I think trial and error is going to be the best teacher in your venture.
My best advice is "NO ADVICE".
I am a believer that great minds think for themselves "NOT ALIKE".
