Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ruclips.net/user/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
This is how I'm going to keep In touch with my friends during Quarantine
😂😂
First let me complement on how informative your videos are awesome job. I've always been interested in the homing pigeons and was thinking about trying my luck with them. I live in the north GA mountain region and I was wondering how well they would do in this terrain. Do you have suggestions or can I train them the same as if I lived in the plains states?
@@johnproper2337 You can fly and train Pigeons anywhere some places have more hawks and falcons than others and once you efficiently train yours they will mature to know how to out fly the predators you will lose some always in training to predators to some illness but definitely read up on the care and health of the Pigeons to insure your success and theirs as well.
That's why I'm here
It works
The wider white part is called the cere. Young birds in my experience have a pinker cere which turns fully white by around 5-6 months
I raise Quail, but looking for something my youngest son might be interested in. In the last 2 years he went from an active young man to sitting in his room watching the world go by. This was an awesome video. TY
Heck yeah my man!!
What exactly do people raise quail for? I see them often at auctions but I don't know much about it
@@nugsymalone1247 meat
@@nixonesport1998 is that so? Must be like either really fancy or underground cus I never see it in stores
@@nixonesport1998 we don't often have quail meat in my country but quail eggs are pretty common. Are quail eggs rare in Western countries?
i'm going to train a carrier pigeon so i can send random messages to my buddy down the mountain
That sounds absolutely amazing!!
There is alway you can do that one of you need to be feeder and one need to be Homer so the bird will now going to one it will get food and then other it get to rest and you able to fly the bird two times a day
If you want your pigeon to deliver and come back you need to do a 2 location one location with food and water and the other the home
I want to do that with my grandmother once I get some carrier pigeons!
I wish I had a mountain and I was on it and I had a buddy who was at the base of it.
I would also get a radio license and set up some gear between us so we could talk to each other.
And I would probably work on making a drone that can carry little messages back and forth.
I would, of course, also do the carrier pigeons and try to get those working since it's the ideal solution (pigeons are autonomous, quick, rather intelligent, very manoeuvrable, can eat trash to fuel themselves, are self-replicating from a population as small as 2, can heal, and in general are cute).
I'd probably have the carrier pigeon get used to carrying a little microsd carrying case on their leg that's permanent. Like what they did for the little scrolls. Except that microsd card could have like a gigabyte of encrypted data on it.
I don't know if anyone knows what a BBS is from the old days, but they used to work the same way. Each BBS was an autonomous node that you could call in directly - but they would all call each other at night and transfer messages to each other so users on one bbs could communicate with users on another bbs (eventually).
Compared to modern day internet it's totally quaint... but that model could be hybrid used to build a kind of offline internet that doesn't require wires or anything. Just people passing along sd cards... and setting up carrier pigeons to do so to send the nightly update.
Every morning you take the freshly made microsd card out, put it in the pigeon's leg carrier, and send it to your friend at the bottom of hte mountain.
hell that could be doubly cool because you could use the radio to gather messages from the area and then put it into that card and send it around the city.
btw, i don't really think anyone will ever be able to read this messages so I'm quite aware how all over the place it is. but it was fun to think about this stuff. the world is made up of people who want to train pigeons to create a new internet, and people who don't.
When you buy old birds do not release them until the squeakers are fully weaned and eating on their own. That way if they don't return, you still have their progeny.
Wow! Awesome Tips and thank you.
First thing I noticed! Better editing than most channels 👍
So glad you guys have these videos up I circle back to them often! Going to start with my first mile on my birds tomorrow
Most of them don’t make it back! That’s why Pigeon Palomacy exists-they help find homes for all of the pigeons who aren’t killed by wildlife, dehydration, etc. When the pigeons are found & the “owner” is contacted, they don’t want the bird back-they’ll often “cull” (kill) those who are returned. I know this because I have a rescue EX-racing pigeon. She now has a wonderful, safe, happy home.
Pigeon found in Massachusetts was from SOUTH CAROLINA! 🤬
Pigeons are delicious
@@austinthompson2127 is a moron.
Thanks for sharing. Was watching birds off my porch and always amazed.
Handling the birds so roughly and then chucking the pigeon crates on the truck.. like a luggage handler.. i would be surprised that the birds would want to return back after afew of those training sessions.
This is just superb, been searching for "homer racing pigeons" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Hansaac Riyliver Scheme - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "pigeon belgium" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Hansaac Riyliver Scheme - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "au racing pigeon bands for sale" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Hansaac Riyliver Scheme - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got amazing results with it.
Agreed, I thought the same thing when I watched it. At least they didn't get hurt, they look alright. But I could never be that rough with such a kind calm creature.
You are an ultimate exploiter of these sensitive beautiful domesticated birds, what if the birds that didnt make it were you and your family, its easy to be light when it’s someone else pain and suffering. Why dont you train your child to find their way home, see if they make it or not? That might be inhumane right? Why is it ok for you to exploit them just because you can?
I never liked handling my birds like that in hand. Kinda rough.
@Black Magik Maybe respect animals a lil bit? It costs you literally nothing to be gentle to an animal. An animal simply can not comprehend your intentions so y'know, don't be a dick?
@@mimikyu4640 It might seem rough, but it actually isn't--if you've never worked with poultry before, they are mostly feathers and can be held more firmly than you might think. He actually did a careful job.
That's not how to handle a bird!..Oh , that's right you shoot them for fun! ..
@@stephenbru lol the people logic 🤣
ruclips.net/video/SKw5kVE6JTc/видео.html
Make sure to get a good grip on them when handling them, they're very susceptible to wing damage or injury, be sure to grab them from the back tucking in their wings with your finger tips holding their belly/wings, they look pretty uncomfortable the way you grabbed them, cool vid
Right! The grabbing seemed a little okay, but I couldn't believe he was actually throwing them into the box and how he dropped the boxes on the ground and stacked them 😧 but I'm sure his birds are used to the way he handles them.
@@halisarahparsons6746 I also found it a little alarming. The sudden and jerky way he handles them. I wouldn't want to be that bird.
Thanks i 'be been trying to make my pigeons come home☺and it works when they've started laying eggs
I raised Homer's for year's. I Love em a real life experience.
Also release them after their done with 2nd and 3rd clutch of eggs.
Good recommendation!
He just tosses them around like prices of shit that don't feel pain. What a jerk. I never treat my birds like that.
He doesn’t know how to hold pigeons I hate how he hold them
I thought the same thing
I thought the same thing. You shouldn't shake them & all that bullshit. Weird.
What a tree hugger
@@jesseobrien5864 pigeons actually prefer being shaked. It arouses them to full on edge sessions as he mentions in the beginning of the video.
My friend knows how to do this it's miraculous to me ❣️
I watched this video because I started helping a couple of pigeons which chose my apartment balcony to build their nest since the starting of pandemic and self isolation. They are 4 pigeons right now with an other 2 eggs on it's own way which the female sits on most of the time. With all helps, foods and water .... I made that easy for them to access, I would never ever call them my pigeons! as you did several times in your video. Then I never even touched anyone of them unlike what I saw on this video. Now with everything else I learned here, I would not expect them to stay with human kind any longer! Damn
Lmao did you not hear anything dude said ? He keeps these birds for a purpose and trains them for that specific purpose. I’m sure your wife has you balls sitting nice and pretty on the mantle at home, actually I don’t wanna give you that much credit you haven’t kissed a girl in years..
@@michaelmorgan9601 Hey, I just try avoiding to be a trash minded person like many others. Being nice is weird and strage there day but it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to. And for the record if you see my wife, say my greetings to her!
Babies may home back to this spot. And if there's afood there, more pigeons will come. You'll always have events.
These birds will be needed really soon
White part of beak is the waddel
It is actually the cere!
This is so cool! I'm working on a yt video project about messenger pigeons - could I use a clip from this? (with credit of course) ?
Yes, as long as we're credited.
@@StandingStoneKennels Thank you so much! 100 percent!
I don't own pigeons yet, but it did seem as if you handled them pretty roughly. I don't know, maybe that's part of training? I'm sure they were fine, but it does seem if I was a pigeon I wouldn't enjoy that. They're still living creatures and it seems as if you might have made them more comfortable. Regardless, this was the best homing video I have seen so far and I learned a lot! Thinking about starting a small coop of a couple pigeons, and trying to convince my grandmother to get a coop too so we can have them deliver messages ;) Thank you for making this video regardless of my opinions on the way to handle a pigeon!
It looks rough but it's actually a careful yet firm grip. Pigeons are very powerful in hand and often squirm making it look rough.
white part is called a cere
Hi. The white on the top of the pigeons beak is called wattle.
Cheers.
So the pigeons have to have two homes to communicate back and forth.? How do you do that?
They only have one loft. You have to take them with you to then release and send the note home. Does that make sense?
@StandingStoneKennels Thanks. I didn't realize it was a one way thing.
It worked my pigeon came back
Im surprised you haven’t introduced the pigeons to clicker training!
Next on my list!!
yes.I agree with u
This above the beek is wattle, cere on homers is around the eye.
Thanks for tuning in
it’s called a cere and there are a few colors used to help differentiate between make and females like on the parakeets I used to have!
This is so interesting. When they were let out of the cage, they all circled together. I assumed that they would fly home together as well, but this is not the case.
Wonder why he handles then so rough...
Great video. Doesn't seem rough to me. These aren't pets. I haven't handled a ton of pigeons but a ton of quail with no injuries. Are they that much more fragile?
It’s more of a respect thing than a fragility issue. There’s more comfortable whats to handle a pigeon
Pigeons can be pets they are great for familys
These people in the comments are straight up fucking panzies 😂😂😂 he handles them with care and holds them exactly how you’re supposed to handle them so you don’t injure or risk hurting any wings toes neck or beak. Fuck I hate our generation. They’d be so hurt if they knew how a momma cat holds their kittens 😂
@@michaelmorgan9601 yeah but dropping pallets full of birds can’t be to good for them
pigeons are pretty tough birds. it's unlikely you're going to 'accidentally' kill them. however if you do grab them and don't hold them right and they struggle hard, it's possible they will hurt themselves...which is the real risk in picking them up.
How train for flipping the bird
For all the people complaining about the way he is holding the pigeons, you should see the way he shoots the kill pigeons!
I-
Are racing pigeons and homers the same thing ?? Me and a friend are wanting to invest in some birds for racing so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Yeab they are
Yes, racers are just the specially trained 'athletes'
hes so rough with them yeesh
My pigeons have been staying in the coop for 6months now. They are nesting and laying eggs want to open up and let them fly. I know the females will come bck. But will the males come bck aswell. Cause we got them from someone else will the males fly bck to the old owner
Can you increase the distance to like 300 kms (180 miles) above ? 🤔
Ofcourse it's a big logistics thing. But how far can we take it theoretically ?
Quality birds can be stretched out as 600+ Miles but this take a special bird and lots of training.
@@StandingStoneKennels
Oh 600 miles
interesting 😳😮
Thanks for the information. 👍
The white on the back of the beak is call the crust ,it can tell more or less how old is the bird
Alot of young youtube Fanciers making videos trying to teach training techniques. Its not about trying to build a channel to monetize but to teach the pureness of the hobby.
Excellent
Cere,is what its called some one said your a bit rough ,I agree
We, my boyfriend noticed, found a tagged pigeon today, so gathered info from tag & found her owner. He drove an hour to get her.
Hell yeah! That’s is awesome! How did you catch it?!
@@StandingStoneKennels she came into my workplace we think to escape extreme heat outside. We gave food & water. Peanut granola lol
Do you only feed them after they come home or do you give them some food before their flight back home??
Thanks for the comment on 30 days.
I was wondering if I picked up any how to keep them from leaving
You need to learn how to hold a pigeon, have some respect.
It might seem rough, but it actually isn't--if you've never worked with poultry before, they are mostly feathers and can be held more firmly than you might think. He actually did a careful job.
@@cameron3525 he is truth. He shakes then when he talks. Lots is unnecessary rough movement.
I have been involved with racing pigeons from being a child and one of the first things you do is learn how to handle them so to help them feel calm and relaxed with the owner and you shouldn't ruffle the feathers up. Your handling your pigeons like a bunch of flowers. These feathers need to last then until they next moult. Also your likely to damage the primary flights which are very important to them to be a successful flyer.
Don't be mad at the man be mad at the culture, animal industries is a deep rooted in human history. Animals arnt objects, buuuut they kinda are. $$$$ Or course anyone worth anything has respect for life.
What does it mean to "lose a few birds?" If they have been raised as domestic birds, will they starve or become prey to other animals in the wild? A homing pigeon arrived on my front door step yesterday, and I'm trying to find her owners. Orange colored band: AU AA 2021 17719
The part on the beak is the cere
That's fantastic :) Thank you for the video!!!
what do you consider a immature bird at what age can the bird be mature enough to let out to loft fly and then what age to take on first 1 mile relase
Nice birds..
Helo sir i have an dout at what age we can start them realsing at some distance
Me n my Dad are wanting to get into the homeing pigeons. He lives as a crow flies about 7 or 8 miles from me n we been talking about it for along time n I never was really interested but now I'm retired n bored. Lmbo.
Nice vid. You should handle them more carefuly though (both individually and in crates :/ )
a bit rough on your birds bro? i owned rose finches for a year.
Doing my best to learn. I am getting much better!
That for the video bro 👍
The last was like nahhh bro I'll just take a ride back with you
Too funny! Thanks for watching.
In sweden we call the root of the beak "waxhead".
The white portion of the beak is called the wattle.
Need help with my birds. If I make a coop how do I teach them to go in it.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Great video
Then what about In winter?
Good afternoon, greeting friend Beautiful pigeons, beautiful animals. , Purebred. 👍🕊🤝
How long do you wait before increasing the distance?
There are alot of variables! Please reach out to Ethan directly! ethan@standingstonekennels.com
What if my birds have never been out of there home. Will they know where they live
Not exactly.
What drink Is the best post race for pingeons? Thank you
It's called the nose cere.
The last bird was not sure like "hey bud, you want me to do this? Ayt"
I have pigeons in my home for 46 years of generation.
Sooo cool! Thanks for watching!
Nostril is called Cere.
its called a cere
what is the ultimate goal?
What is unlimat goal
I invoke my fifth amendment privilege and do not answer questions
How does one keep from getting the bird lung disease, nodules and all this from fowl?
you wear a respirator or you avoid a walk-in loft
Where did you find those cages?
A wild pigeon has become my pet but now I am moving out of my current place. How to let the pigeon know my new home which is in same building but different unit? Pls advise
I'm sure you've previously mentioned this but where do you purchase your first homers and how many should you get? (assuming they'll procreate and make more birds). We're getting a pup in October. Any recommendations on when to get birds would be great! Thanks guys, keep it up :)
Checking Craig’s list, Facebook, and online pages you can find really good birds. It all depends on how far they need to fly.
StandingStoneKennels I found some non pedigree homers for $100 a pair and free shipping. Does that sounds like a decent deal? If that’s overpriced I know a woman locally (northern VT) who raises game birds, she may have a few! Thanks again
Sounds a bit high unless they are really good birds
Lets say I have a small coop thats not really suited for breeding pigeon. Will they ever call it their home even though they dont lay eggs?
If they have food and water they will eventually call it home. Once they are comfortable if you have a mix of cocks and hens they will lay eggs.
@@StandingStoneKennels thank you
Where I’m from we put mirrors and perfume in their cage
Lol
Is it possible to release the pigeons once trained, have them trained to eat at that location and then return home? Positive reinforcement in effect?
Great information! Thank you!
I need to buy som for where
What are your goals?!
The white stuff on the beak is called "Wattle"
Hi can i train just a single pigeon to fly around and come back on its own? I just have one
They ever bring new ones home ??
I love flying Pigeons but I don’t know how to keep them in Texas. Should I rent a house ?? Do you guys think the owner would allow me do that
Where do you get the boxes you carry the birds in?? What are they calked
Called
Like your training baskets can you tell me where I can get them!
What happens if you get a bird that already lived at another home? How do you home them so that they don't fly back to they're previous home?
i have a question about finding the sex of a pigeon because i have a pair of pigeons that mate bet sometime the male goes on top and other times the female goes on top they have had babies
That’s awesome
Thanks for watching!
On sexing the birds my ag. Teacher said lift the tail feathers up if you see 2 holes its a female but if you see something long and skinny its a male, sound good too me, do male homers did circumcision for health puposes ?
That is Called A Wattle at the top of the beak. The flesh around the Eyes is Called eye Cere.
You can tell male or female from the pubic bone. Male bone is closed, female is open. You seems really new to pigeons from the way you handle them.
Nice video except how you hold the birds. Best way to hold a pigeon is to slide your hand underneath them gripping their feet and tips of the wings between your thumb and index finger. The belly rests on your palm. Properly done and the pigeon wouldn't move even if you loosen the grip.
Thanks for the comment! I have learned so much since this video!
What is the best bird feed to give to pigeons?
This is an awesome vid. Thanks!
Man that’s so cool
Are those trained to be target practice for pigeon shoots?
Would be awesome!!
thanks
