Settling Young Birds & NEW Kit Box - Birmingham Roller Pigeons

This is the method I use to try and settle my young birds. These Birmingham rollers are all this years young birds and are mainly from the George Mason family. There are many different ways of settling young pigeons but this seems the best option for me this year. Also, I have a look around my stock pairs and show you my loft extension with the new kit boxes I’ve made inside.

    Very nice new kit boxes and explanation of training. I wanted to suggest a large bottom-hinged door in the side of the kit box itself, maybe with wire in it so they can see out too, and perhaps where there is a column of single perches. When it's let down they could walk straight out onto it as soon as they come off the nest, and before they can fly at all. Also straight back into the box for feeding. That way they might be settled even earlier and progress more easily to starting to fly, with less worry about safely.

    Yep, it looks like one takes the lead and the rest follow. The last few days, they’re getting higher and flying a little longer. I’m thinking it will be around another 2 weeks until they’re flying properly. It’s always a risk when they’re in the air though 🤞

    @@doublearollers Hi mate your passion shows through in the back yard and the dedication you put in all the videos. Keep it up it’s good to see. Like I said before back yard hobby’s Seem to be taken over by the computer and all the technology we have these days.I remember building my first loft around 10 years old using any old wood I could lay my hands on straightening nails out of the bonfire. I used to work at a auction in Bradford holding the chickens ducks and geese up on a Friday night The going back to scrape the shit up on a Saturday morning I used to get 15 pound and spend it on pigeons what we’re going through the auction. Let the rollers out two days later and watch them fly away LOL, some good rollers I recall. I live in Australia now I’ve had the rollers for around 15 years over here. We are in lockdown over here it’s great for the bird’s flying the young twice a day, it brings the birds on much better they get that apple body fitness to go with it the roll is more fluent if you have got the right stock birds.!!!I took a video of my set up breeding loft and kit boxes it’s 10 minutes long , I’ll send you it ? Let me know how,Thanks John

    Hi, I couldn’t tell you where the best place to buy rollers is but the best way to buy rollers is get to know some of the fanciers and watch some kits fly. Look for what you like and approach some of the owners. I’m sure you’ll eventually get a pair or two or some young birds from them.

    Is there a reason why your feeding them on floor and not inside the kit box? also how are the birds doing on 2" floor grill I was thinking to do the same thanks in advance

  • @doublearollers

    @doublearollers

    3 жыл бұрын

    The reason I was feeding them on the floor was because I wanted them to try flying in and out of their box. Also, with a tray in the box, it doesn’t give them much room meaning some eat more than others. 2” floor grills are brilliant for keeping it clean as everything just falls straight through but it’s not ideal for weaning the young birds as they really struggle walking on it if they have to.
