Mad flippers
What's your take on mad flipping? My first round is starting to mimic but they are flipping a ton. Born in May 2024.

We are finally up and running again after a long Winter/Spring lock down. The pair of falcons and multiple pairs of coopers have been brutal. We survived here with a decent team.
Rebooting some old videos

Falcons locked me down. Can't fly at the moment so I am reloading older videos into a higher frame rate for smoother looking videos. 1080p60!
The second yb crew again
zhlédnutí 378Před 9 měsíci
Today, we had the second yb crew out. Some days they are just banging it out, good depth with quality rolls. Then there are these days, just straight up tumblers. This is why I don't fly ybs in competitions. They are not reliable.
Main yb team again
zhlédnutí 503Před 9 měsíci
November and 60 degrees in Minnesota with no wind. What better way to enjoy another great day on this Earth than to fly the main yb team. Come with me on this journey to get the ybs back in shape.
The main yb team
zhlédnutí 205Před 9 měsíci
Another day out. We will see how good they get with more air time. The best of the 2023s
Let's go, it is November!
zhlédnutí 296Před 9 měsíci
First time out in a while for the main yb team. Let's go! They come down hot, need to get that roll out of their system. My birds take a few days to get back on track but this is the team to beat next year.
It's November - youngest yb kit
zhlédnutí 329Před 9 měsíci
Yay, I can finally fly again. I will be updating clips of what I have left in terms of teams. This is the youngest yb group. They are starting to come into the roll. A few in there still squeaking. They should turn it on any day now. The next calm day, I will film my backup yb team. They are fun to watch so stay tune.
YBs in September
zhlédnutí 339Před 11 měsíci
From 90 degrees to 50s. The cooler is here. That means the Fall migration is not far behind. This team should come in by November.
The 2023 movers, shakers, and rollers
zhlédnutí 554Před 11 měsíci
I have been focusing on flying yb teams. Moving birds around to make a performing team. Birds range from 2 weeks of air time to 3 months. Definitely some still squeaking. Sorry I haven't been flying my main team much. I am trying to get a rolling yb team before the snow flies. I hope every one else is having a better season.
Training my second round.

Letting them explore and calling them down with the feed call. I have been using a red Frisbee as my feed call for over 10 years now. This is to avoid any extra attention from the BOPs and neighbors.

Phone video. Just wanted to show the depth on some of the deeper ones. Nothing compared to the camcorder but was not trying to capture quality of roll this time.
Into July we go!
zhlédnutí 332Před rokem
A relief from the heat made them roll like energizer bunnies. Cool, little to no wind, and huge thunderstorm from the west called out for the perfect conditions to see the most out of the birds.
😮wow family is that them some fast. Birds quality is real nice deaf is real good I see some 40 footers.
Ou
Amazing brakes nice big kit braking make it rain 🌧️ 💯💨👍🏾
Thank you. I hope they get faster and deeper next season.
@@MAlofts Best of luck my brother hope to see them with the rest of our fellow subscribers 💯👍🏾
Do you ever see them come out of mad flipping and become good birds? Thanks for the video
@gabeglenn1164 a few of my breeders developed like so. Yes, most do become great birds. The heart to kit has to be there.
@MAlofts do you ever find some of those hard workers that have the heart to kit as young birds give up on kitting after being held over?
@gabeglenn1164 always a chance for birds to fall apart next season. Let it be a mad flipper or not. Most mad flippers turn out to have normal frequency as they age.
My papaw is Carl Hardesty. I saw where you made a video about his rollers. Very interesting
@StephenHardesty-th5cx do you have rollers too? That video was produced and sold by the NBRC back in the days. I just uploaded it for all to enjoy. Classic!
Awesome birds MA lofts. Long follower
@jorgepena1218 thanks. The birds are still young and have a year or two to go before they get to that point where we all want.
Niceeeeee 🔥
Nice as always. Are you flying them close to dark or is it just a cloudy day.
I usually fly them around 7 pm daily. There are times that I kicked them out around 8 pm, like the footage here. In this video, both would apply. I flew them right before sunset and it was cloudy.
WOW ALWAYS A JOY WATCHING YOUR BIRDS
Thanks. They should get a lot deeper and faster once they turn 1 years old.
I am fortunate to have birds that somehow come from this loft. From my uncle dao, to joe emberton, to arnold jackson, to cornell norwood. I am totally blessed this man existed and influenced the birmingham roller to what it is.
Pretty good 👍🏼
Thank you for your service and beautiful loft and birds.🇺🇸
👍
Good quality birds rolling very fast what blood line is this ?
These are mine. I bred out of the best rollers from all over the USA to make my current stock.
@@MAlofts o okay u sell them too ?
@@happysihaniya4491 can not ship. Local only
@@MAlofts o ok something u don’t ship or state don’t allow?
@@happysihaniya4491 work
Fire 🔥
They can be decent on those overcast days. Thanks
Nice birds
Not yet but with more air time, hopefully some will be.
Looks good brother. Were you able to get around the glitchy conversion to mp4?
No, this is probably the best I can do for video quality wise. It is crazy how smoother looking the videos are when uploading from 1080 to 1080p60.
Always great watching your video's. I am going to have to drive to NC.
NC is halfway across the country from me.
@@MAlofts Oh, all this time I thought you were in North Carolina.
@arcee33 maybe one day. As of now, I am still stuck in Minnesota battling 5 foot snow drifts every Winter. Check out this podcast if you haven't. czcams.com/users/liveZcjPnCHowkU?si=OUUoAe00v9ugfQJn
Your birds got some Heat!
When I can fly, they can put up a good show.
Nice
Guess it's better than feeding falcons at the moment. Thanks
Beautiful to watch 😍
Looking good buddy
Thanks, hopefully some will make the cut and survive. 2 falcons got me for 3 birds this evening.
Very nice! Must be a joy to watch them.
Some days they are. This day, they decided tumbling was what they wanted to do. A lot of decent rollers in this group when they get up to a good height. When they are flying to low, they turn into tumblers
A lot of fluttering going on, a few of your darker checks/ blacks are balling up! A lot of action, if falcon doesn’t take half ,,good luck 👍
@crappiemikecrappie8211 yeah, just babies doing babies stuff. I swear a few in there are still squeaking
jeeeeeeeez
Nice
much better. Birds looking very promising. Can't wait to see how they develop next yr👍
Probably be cooper poop before next year. I fly my birds too much
👍
Nice again, had my eye on the black that is still growing his center tail feathers.
where is the 200 footer on film? alot of individuals????
I only fly tumblers, so they are individual rollers
Hey bud, looking good as always, when you have some to let go let me know I would love to fly some at my place so I can see them in person.
If you could find some one to ship, they are yours. Haha. Out before the post office opens. Get home right before they close. Yeah, shipping birds will not work. Wish i could. I would love to send you some to try.
The best procedure for using fosters. (When should eggs be pulled, what to look for to know if they will be good parents to the eggs.)
Nice! Very active team.
Who are these and what strain are the birds
Beautiful rollers chino les
They are not rollers yet but hopefully soon. Thanks for watching
Looking good, I always enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks. Just a look at how my ybs develop into the birds folks have been seeing. My birds have a lot of roll, even as ybs the activity can be overwhelming
This the flipper team?
Yep, they flip every second too. Haha. Got some starting to add depth but that wasn't what I was aiming for...videowise
Looking good.
I got a tree that's driven me nuts.....my newbys are kitting well homing and trapping well but after every fly the take a 10-15min break in this tree bfore they trap in...... tall oak tree. I cant even reach em with a tennis ball??? #flipnbirds
I have a few trees to. The ones here are cotton wood. They are closer to 100 feet tall. I don't scare my birds so the feel safe landing on my roof. I do get the occasional roller that is scared of it's own shadow. Those birds tend to land in a tree once in a while but the coopers don't play around. They pick those birds up before I can cull them.
@@MAlofts see that's what I'm worried about. They only been flying about 3weeks and thus far the hawk has not been a issue. I have a coopers and a red tail in this area. (Since it's been hot) but the cooper did kill one around feburary.... new bird. Slipped out over my head and before it could land on roof the cooper snatched em..... all of 6sec escape and he was dead. Blue w/Bronze bar baldie I had for 3days.
Hello rick my name is lan birkett from uk .we met in Middlesbrough northern england about 1992 or 93 your freind joe bob was with you if my memory serves correctly.i was an absolute novice at the time but visiting Middlesbrough and meeting people like peter harper ,les bezance .maurice hole ,george kitson and others spurred me on to try and become a better flyer.i doubt you remember me i didnt havemuch to say but i certainly dida lot of listening i was like a sponge soaking up as much good information as i could.flew pure peter harper stuff for 27 years no outcross no weak youngsters or curly feathers .in your post you show the hen joe bob flew for you and talk about her being a front pigeon and setting the team up for the breaks .this combined with work rate and not being too deep wouldbe my ideal roller as long as the actual rolling was good quality and kitting was 100%.mid 90s had a powder blue cock with all the above attributes front pigeon.slowed team down setting the breaks up fantastic kitter very good roller .used him a lot in stock bred me some good stuff that 25 years later is still producing good stuff for some uk fanciers winning the big flys.dont hear much on here about fanciers building a kit around key pigeons all same family maybe some dont know how ?.any way did me good seeing you on here brought back some happy memories of good times had .good luck with the birds .reply if you wouldlike to .lan birkett
Looking good!!
Thanks for uploading. Some good birds you got there.
Wish I had better to film. Thanks for watching. Acouple of decent ones in there. Will see how good they get as old birds next season.
Nice kit bro. Where you located
Minnesota
What the fuxk is that breathing like that....he keeps sayn "dont get to close" must be a tasmanian devil or some shit???
Mane i heard about this long ago when I had pigeons as a kid. Concept is pretty simple but I can see that it takes alot of training.
Nice. They're responsive to you and you seem to have the feed amount spot on. You have them trained to a frisbee tap instead of a can? Of course, there always has to be one at this age that wants to piddle around on the roof! I have his buddy in my first round kit right now. Of course, it happens to be the one I liked the most when they came out of the nest! LoL
Always gotta to have one knuckle head in the group. Yes sir, Frisbee is the only way over here. Too many BOPs to use a whistle call. I never liked the feed can call. Sounds don't carry far here in the city. Birds can see from hundreds of feet away, so visual feed call is more effective for me
@@MAlofts Do you think a whistle call actually attracts the BOPs? Or... ?
@kerbyjackson88 I don't know if they do or don't. All I know is the quieter the call, the better off I would be at attracting attention.
@@kerbyjackson88 I do want to add that the feed call is usually only used until they get the route down. I rarely call in my old birds. They know that once they land, they need to trap in. I would find it strange if people still called in their old birds.
@MAlofts I'm in the position where I really don't have old birds anymore. I'm down to four 2022 birds out of 135+ courtesy of the Peregrines. But back in the days when I could actually keep them around in large numbers (late 80s/early 90s, I guess), I think I always continued calling just because I'd done so much repetition that it became a habit. Another factor is, for whatever reason, when I first started out, I did not use traps and just called them in and out the door. Needless to say, it tended to necessiate keeping the commands up. A couple of years ago, I had traps put into the current kit loft I'm using, thinking it might help against the Cooper's, but with the Peregrines pushing the Cooper's out, I don't use them and still basically fly the way I started flying 40 some years ago.
Nice looking second rounders. I didnt think you bred that many in a round. looks like from maybe 12 pairs.
I usually breed out of 10 pairs with another 6 pairs of fosters, making 16 total. This year I bred out of 13 pairs and 3 foster pairs
Do you have any bird's for sale ? I am living in Florida .
Where are you located at
Minnesota. No I don't have any extra birds. Thanks for asking
Nice, all day..
It literally is. I do try to fly them every day. If they rest too long, they can get real dangerous. I had some go 100 plus feet if locked down too long
Good stuff brother. Hope you're able to add more birds to the main team. Most of my deeper kit birds have had accidents or are afraid of the roll. Will just have to keep going and see what I have left at the end of this year.
Should be fun once I move some rolling ybs in. All the ones that were afraid of the roll, culled themselves last year. The ones left can be flown daily.
Awesome Birds my dad is a big fan of your birds he is always watching your videos he was wonderful if you ever thought of selling some he is very interested in buying some off of you ?
Wish I had extra birds. BOPs are pretty bad here. If you guys are ever in the area, drop by to see them live. The footage gets diluted pretty bad from the original files. It was a longer video but that day they just wanted to show off
