- Watch our 2021 racing pigeons navigate home through a mountain pass from 40 miles. The training toss was tracked with two of our 2021 racing pigeons using the Skyleader GPS ring set. This is a game changer when it comes to training racing pigeons homing pigeons and determining the next step in your road training regime. Really cool product.

Hey please share your email address
Glad I’m not the only one that gives the coach pep talk to the birds before letting them go! Much love from Texas
Haha! That makes me laugh! Thank you my friend!!
When real time gps is available then lots of new fanciers will begin racing pigeons. It will bring people back to the sport. It will be amazing to watch live racing .
Agreed 100%!!! It will invigorate and revolutionize the sport for sure. Can’t wait! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for following!!
I keep mine as pets, way too afraid to let them go out in the wild
Really nice to be able to see all the path of the birds... See the choices they make. Fantastic video man... I'm a subscriber from Brazil being inspired by your videos.
Thanks Eduardo!! Really appreciate the kind feedback and your support!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I also have skyleader. Remember, it's like drawing a dot-to-dot puzzle, and appears like a straight line. However, the dots are actually time intervals. So, if the dots are close together....something has happened to slow down the birds. Maybe they got tired going uphill, maybe they circled an obstacle, maybe they stopped and rested or got a drink. It wont draw curves. Only straight lines. Check at each dot, and it will tell you their speed at that point. As you dig deep, you can tell where they are slowing down. Hope this helps. It's the coolest pigeon invention yet. Thanks for sharing.
That is very helpful information!! Thanks for sharing that with me! I agree, and how cool will it be when the house tech is in place for real time gps tracking; that will resurrect the spot
That's a straight line. Great review, thanks for sharing sir. About to jump the fence lol.
Thanks Al! Appreciate it buddy!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am amazed by pigeons. I've flown birds for many years and I've always wanted to track my birds route. I will have to get some of those. Thank you again
My pleasure, Bob! Glad that you enjoyed it, and thank you!
Cool stuff. The old time breeders I knew as a kid never could have even envisioned it.
Thanks!! Yeah, it is fascinating!! Thanks for the comment!!
Beautiful first day watching this type of stuff
Welcome my friend! So glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant Footage ! Thanks for the great content !
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback!
Wow awesome. I would like to get some of those gps bands one day.
That’s was great to watch
Thanks my friend!! It’s pretty amazing to see where they go!
Im so excited looking at the map.. love pigeons
Isn’t that cool?! Thanks for chiming in ☺️
Nice gadget, that's invaluable knowledge. I want one of those, maybe next year's investment. Great going, your first two birds are already champs🏆
Thanks my friend!! Yeah, so far it has been fascinating!!
Good idea
Many many thanks!
so the lesson here is to pick the release points for training directly in line of path of the actual race release points to the loft (if you know the race release points). it would be interesting to know if the 2nd bird also took a detour to the training release point instead of flying in a straight line.
That is how I do my training, but maybe others do it differently?? And yes, the second bird did detour to the previous release site! It went slightly more north toward my loft location though. Thanks for weighing in!!
I went this one sir
@@GaneshKumar-dg2ku Look in the video description for a link to this product plus a promo code for to get a discount. Best wishes
You should have a different color for each ring, so we can get a different assessment of each bird
Yes!! That was the first time for me stumbling around the software so I wasn’t sure how to do it! Next time for sure!!
Really nice from Philippines 🇵🇭💪👍
Thanks Kenneth!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
There is a screen on their website that will show altitude. You can see altitude with very detail. If they're grounding/drinking you should be able to spot it.
... very minute detail*
Oh that is good to know!! Thanks for the tip, Bob!!
Hi James, they did well didn't they. It must have been very hot, it had shook them up a bit. The GPS rings are brilliant. Well done James. Now you have got the rings you can find the breaking point. It looks like it's a bit lower down. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND 🌟💯👍👍
It was hot indeed! Yes, I want to do a toss with another loft and have a ring on one of his birds and a ring on one of mine. Could be really valuable info there! Kevin did a good job! 😁
@@RFRP Yes that's a great idea, you will find the true breaking point if you let yours and someone else's go together. GREAT JOB. 🌟💯👍👍
Pretty cool
Agreed! Thanks!!
Can you help. I have the software installed on my Mac. can't seem to read the ring. problem is not recognising the comport??
Can you help??
Good toss
Thanks!!
Excellent video buddy would love to see if you could show Kevin and max's flight paths on the same screen as they arrived at diff intervals so must have made a diff choice in the route . Just a thought but love the videos hail hail from glasgow scotland 👍👍
Hey thanks James!! I know there is a way to do that, but in this video I was still fumbling about the software, figuring it out as I went. They solid take different routes as you pointed out. I will try to have that together for next time. Hey my roots are Scottish🏴!! Thanks for the comment and support!
very nice video
Hey thanks for the kind feedback!! Really appreciate you following!
Interesting buddy 👍
Thanks my friend! Yeah, I think so too
Wow this is fantastic James. I’m still in my first week of loft flying and I had 2 birds that didn’t come home yesterday. Man how it would be awesome to know what happened? Where’d they go? What path did they take? Etc. I hope it serves you well. Have a good day
Oh man! Sorry you have 2 birds MIA! Hopefully they will find their way back. Each year I lose a few the first time out. The earlier you can get them out on the landing board the better! Good luck and let me know if the 2 make it back,
Robertson what is a blood line of the blue bar pied of your bird
She is out of Lonestar x Athena. The pied was inherited from Lonestar.
.. that's cool..👌
Thanks my friend!!
Super bro
I appreciate the positive feedback! Thanks for your support!
Great
🙏🏼 Thank you!
Awesome sistem!!
I agree! It’s really interesting to see where they go! Thanks for the comment!
@@RFRP I think that.. it would work very well also for racing !!
Yeah, I agree
@@RFRP let's watch this video out !! They are the Best Long distance birds in Europe!!
What do you think about it?
My friend.!

bro, where you buy that ring please?
You can buy them on Amazon or the Skyleaderb website
Robertson Family Racing Pigeons (James), Really Cool Video! Started following ya for a little bit now and enjoy your videos! Hoping to get some Birmingham Roller Pigeons soon! Would care and breeding be about the same for racing pigeons as Birmingham Roller pigeons? Also what part of Utah as you mention in the beginning of the video? Utah Viewer here!
Hi Mike! That is great to hear! Rollers are awesome; that’s the breed I started with as a teenager in Provo. Basic health and care will be essentially the same for all breeds of pigeons. Going from rollers to racing pigeons is an easy jump my friend. I think you should add them 😁😁
@@RFRP Great to hear, Thanks for the info. Look forward to getting some birds and watching more of your videos.
are you able to se time stamp? how long it took them if theres a possible stop over etc.
@@karansotv7181 yes the time stamps are included
@@RFRP great thanks
I'm following you from Morocco, where is this city located?
🇲🇦 This is in Maryland, USA. Thanks for following, my friend!!
Do you have elevation data vs wind direction you are willing to share.
Great question!! Elevation data and the wind direction would be really interesting!!! The bands do track elevation data, I just haven't pointed that out in the videos yet, but I will do that next time. I'll try to get wind data as well. Great suggestion, and thanks!
You haven't flown yet. We been waiting for you

Breakaway Max!
Right? That was cool to see
Godbless you sir
Oh THANK YOU!!
Do the pigeons flock together when in race?
They do at first but then after as the race progresses the stronger ones tend to break away from the main flock. By the end the birds tend to arrive in small groups, and sometimes one at a time.
What's the price of these GPs rings
Check skyleader.com for current prices. Thanks!!
Hey how do i go about getting some of those gos bands?

64 km ? Great experience
czcams.com/video/7I-fqshsQlU/video.html
Yes, 64 km. It was a cool experiment indeed! Thanks for watching
Appreciating pigeons on video is my job and you should not thank me. But promise me that one day you will see my pigeons and admire them?
Like to see these Kind of videos
5 years before i did the same thing with my one and only homer pegion but its just 7or 8 km long from home
Cool! I agree that this kind of tracking is fascinating
👍👍👍👍
8-11mm or 11-14 mm?
Get 11-14. Look for the promo code in the video description
How do we know MAX didn't cheat and stop at a gas station for shortcut directions?
PS - I hunt very close to where you tossed them... Beautful area! It would be great if they made a tiny lightweight go-pro with gps. That way ypu could see what they're seeing, along with a popup screen so you ould watch their POV and their progress on the map at the same time.
😆 Shoot! Maybe Max did! 😆
Hey that’s cool you know the area! Where are you located?
Yes, I cannot wait until technology like you described is available. How cool will that be?!!
@RFRP I've lived in MD and VA my whole life. Lived in Hagerstown, Frederick, Forest Hill, Overlea, Parkville, Perry Hall, and Lake Ridge, VA. But I really enjoy Western MD. Beautiful country, and good salt-of-the-earrh people.
👍👍👍
Thank you!!!
hey, i found a bird in my yard, has # 17893 , happen to be yours?
Thank you for reaching out! That is not one of mine. Do you have the entire string of characters on the band?
@@RFRP its AU 17893 foys.
There should be a year as well
@@RFRP 2021
I can probably find out who it belongs to. Give me a day or two
Glad they made it back but man the loft needs some cleaning out, why so much crap buildup, co'mon dude
I was DEFINITELY slacking there
OMG that's a lot of pigeon crap! You don't clean your lofts daily?
Haha! I scrape half the floor daily. The sections under the perches get cleaned out periodically and fresh wood chips get put down. I am behind on my deep clean obviously, due to being down with Covid for nearly 3 weeks. Thanks for watching-next time hopefully you’ll see some fresh wood chips down. 😁
@@RFRP Understandable. Wishing you a fast and safe recovery!
Thanks my friend!
Man look at the size of that’s gps ring, huge, wonder will it will slow down the bird a little bit, very 😎
Im way too afraid to let mine outside. I keep my 5 as pets.
They make the BEST pets! Thanks for the visit!
Can you track this real time?
Great question! Sadly, no! I’m frankly shocked that that technology hasn’t been developed for racing pigeons yet! It is a no brainer in my mind
I was planning to get one for my parrot in case I take it for a free flight, guess this one's a no go for me. Anyway, thanks for the reply. 👍
That sounds really cool! Yeah, this won’t help you. Try and Apple AirTag
Love this video. So glad I found your channel. No, those aren’t mountains. I live in Utah near Logan. Are you from Utah as well?
Hey thanks!! Yes, I grew up in Provo/Orem! Great place!! Do you fly birds?
How fun to know you’re from out my way. I flew racing pigeons during my growing up years with my father in Brigham City. I have fond memories of spending time with him and flying birds. I just recently started up again, but I’m having a terrible time with the raptors. Almost every time I loft fly, the Cooper Hawks are attacking them. I’ve lost so many to them. It’s very discouraging. I haven’t let them out for over two weeks now. I’ve tried keeping them in for two or three days hoping the migrating hawks will move along. I’ve also tried letting them fly at different times of the day. I don’t want to give up yet. Any advice is welcome. The GPS bands are so awesome! My father would have been so excited about this possibility.
That is awesome! Brigham City was our first race station.
Hawks: that sounds super frustrating!! I would stop flying your birds for the next few months. Winter is notoriously bad with hawks. Start letting them out again in the spring. Good luck and keep me posted!
Here you can see a pigeon that traveled over 950km, crossing the Carpathian Mountains, being attacked 3 times by a hawk

@@RFRP Brother, this website does not work for me. Please, is there another store? Thank you
@@al_yonkou That is strange; it works when I click on it. try just searching for FlyGo pigeon ring
This could be a interesting way to scam people by selling them and telling the person that it’s allowed to free fly and will come back by whistling and at the end of the day you get the bird back and some money 💀
Yes, one absolutely could do that with these birds
SHAME ON YOU! SO DIRTY OF A PEN?
Thank you, my pigeons worked hard on that.
Hi sir, how are you, I m from India, my friends have lots of pigeon ,his pigeon playing racing tournament, n his pigeon 700 km in one day, so can you guied us about gps, how it's work
Thanks for the comment! 🇮🇳Great to hear about your friend’s pigeons! I’m going to do some videos about GPS rings in the next couple of weeks, so please continue to follow
