Trap Training My Racing Pigeons

Getting the young birds ready to loft fly. Trap training with a bob trap. They went right through it. Give me all your thoughts including corrections and encouragements. I'm learning. One note: I know I need a better feeder and I plan on transitioning to a different feed soon as well.

I use a 10 litre bucket with a lid with 2-inch holes around the outside as a feeder and a cone type in the inside in the center with hot melt glue so the feed falls to the outside

nice color of your pigeon. yes continue your training that is good. that training for the trap door is good. specially for racing time or going back home. 👍👍👍

That was perfect cool man. I still have pigeons and had done same with 3 of my young ones I first push em in through wires few times then let em out with the adults and they follow them readily it only took 20 mins.

What's the brand of that trap door from Amazon? Or if you can send me the link to it

[@darrylcabral9504]

Great looking birds I think you're giving them a little bit too much feed 1 tbsp / pigeon always make sure you have fresh water and Grit. Enjoy the birds they look great man

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

Thanks for the comment! I will work on getting their food dialed in. I have heard overfeeding is the biggest mistake of beginners, and I guess I'm no different :) It is still pretty cold in Wyoming too so I was a little worried about that.

[@g.satterfield9422]

I think you need to let them stay on the board longer and keep them a little hungry so they will trap when called in

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

I wondered about that, I’ve been feeding them once a day and they’ve been hungry enough, they come right back in through the trap before I get a chance to even call them. Do you think I should block the trap for a while so they can stay on the board longer, then open it up and call them?

Hi bro if I was make 2 weke like what

[@darinbrewer301]

Your gonna have to get pigeon food,12 PERCENT at least

[@JCAGLoftandAnimals]

Yes true

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

Yes, that is in the plans for next month. Although, what I’m feeding in the videos is over 12% has soybean meal, flax seed, corn, barley and lentil. But I am on the lookout for something a little better. I might have to order it.

[@Silva_loft]

@@swallowtailpigeons6654 did you ever order something else? I got 50lb breeder mix for my breeders but I’m sure my racers wont like that since my breeders barely even like it

[@JCAGLoftandAnimals]

I will give you a shout out from my channel

[@JCAGLoftandAnimals]

Hope this helps

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

Much appreciated!

[@georgegatti1]

I would give them one ounce per day. Don’t over feed them.

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

That is exactly what I started doing last week. Thanks so much for the comment and the advice

[@moegamatabrahams6773]

That food way too dusty for pigeons..fine for chickens but not pigeons

[@swallowtailpigeons6654]

Yep, I have changed their feed. Thanks for the comment!
