The more they experience in training the better prepared they’ll be racing for sure. We don’t need blue sky princesses! Enjoy the videos Frank.

You are right. The adapt to just about anything.

Great advice. I used to relish flying my Rollers in the worst weather possible: rain, sleet, snow, winds, thunderstorms and also into the dark. I never lost any to overflies because they could handle any condition the world threw at them. Except the hawks, of course. Their reliability also improved with each generation as the ones incapable of handling it would take themselves out of the genepool. Everyone else I knew was in big trouble whenever a freak storm came on and they often lost entire kits. I never lost any that way and even if they went into the dark, I never worried about them. Though it's difficult to prove, I knew that alot of them would fly all night if they had to. On bright moon nights you could sometimes track them easily enough to know they were still going. I've been far more reluctant road training Racers in those types of conditions due to the fog and low ceilings that usually accompanies our rain.

@@KarelSimic-vk1wx Frank říká, že ptáci se musí naučit létat v dešti a že je třeba začít s krátkými tréninkovými přemety v mírně deštivých podmínkách, kdy je dobrá viditelnost a vysoká oblačnost. Říká je začít od čtvrt kilometru a pomalu je vypracovávat. Jakmile se naučí proces, budou schopni zvládnout špatné počasí, pokud se s ním setkají na závodech. Promiňte, moje čeština je špatná. Rodina mé matky pocházela z Hospříze, ale my jsme jako děti nebyli česky vyučováni.

Great condition! 👏🏽👏🏽

Wanna hear something funny frank? I trained my low quality pigeons to fly in the rain I waited to toss them between breaks in the rain , that same week we had a week that it rained all day every day between races and my crappy bird came top 30 birds that week. God bless maestro

Great job. It is good for them to have experience which might be weather or homing from different directions or different times of day.

Thanks for sharing ❤

They look great Frank.

Very nice 👌

A long time ago they would let birds out in rain or snow I remember cleaning snow off landing board the pigeons back then would fly in any kind weather

Glad you enjoyed it

i always said train the way you expect to perform. i know you know i am very new to pigeons, but sports, and music performance, and dog training all have a few things in common: you should train to handle the actual conditions! when i was training my dog i woud START with "perfect" conditions- no distractions, etc... and progress up to places with other people, animals, distractions. (we also visited the vets just to step on the scale and get a treat so the vet wasnt scary) if pigeons have never flown in less than perfect weather? they could get really hurt or lost on a race where the weather changed too quickly. i also second the statement by another commenter: how much do you charge for rent! those are some nice lofts

You make great points and all common sense. Grew up training bird dogs with my father. He would start like you can then he could eventually have the dogs broken to wing and shot in front of a group of Boy Scouts at an event.

You should do a video loading them through the chute.

Frank should i use the Nubiotic oregano oil daily with every stage in the birds life ? I'm also wondering if i can add apple cider vinegar with the Nubiotic oregano oil ?

@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons

3 ай бұрын

Do not mix the Apple Cider Vinegar with the Nubiotic. I feel the taste will be terrible. I am keeping my weaned youngsters on Nubiotic daily because after a few weeks they ship to the one loft races. My breeders are getting two days on and two days off during breeding. Race team get Nubiotic on Race Day and Tuesday.

Hello Frank, what can you say about 3-4hours loft fly? I do know it's possible for healthy birds, but this became a buzz for the pigeon community in the Philippines. With obvious difference between Asia and US, what can you say about this?

@FrankMcLaughlinPigeons

Do you mean flying 3-4 hours in one exercise flight? My birds never fly more than two hours in a week between races.

It does not hurt them at all. It was cool but not a cold day but I do not think it would matter. Great experience to give them confidence to navigate in the rain.
