Flying My Pigeons For The First Time.. Huge Mistake 

You should never force pigeons out and before you let them out you need to trap train them also never fly breeders

I put food in a cookie tin and when I feed them I shake the tin every time. Then when you fly them make them hungry and then shake the tin they will come back.

Never force them out, just leave the doors open, they normally go out a few at a time at the start and they know it’s safe to come back the way they left

Awesome piece of land bro. I love our rooftops in NYC but, this is my dream...

In Egypt we let them out only 30 minutes before sunset so they sure come back before dark... we also put up a flag as a marker...

I really love all your videos man!!! I live in Massachusetts in a small city so I have no hunting out here but I do magnet fish! Kinda jealous to not be out there in the country like you

This was a lil sad 😔

Got behind on videos, binge watching all of them now😂❤️

Love the videos. Might have to pluck a few feathers out enough for them to move around in the coop. And then let them step outside in and out til they know where to exit in and out.

I learned from president of local pigeon racing club. Build a vestibule platform enclosure around their one-way entry that you can put them in hungry until they figure out how to go in and eat. Design it to fold down in front of the one way entry to function as a platform where they can land. This way, they know how to get back in their home well before they fly.

No worries Man. You'll get some more.

Bob why did you let them out they are homed to your other loft and there is a trap on it you need to train them to it

So I’ve been thinking about getting a pigeon and I heard that noise while I was driving and thought it was your pigeon calling. I literally said well fuck I’m not getting one of those. Relieved to see it was just your friend. Thanks for great video.

Good luck, i only put my birds in the coop fot 2 weeks and then opened up the door. They all came back. This has always worked for me.

You have to make a trap on the loft than trap train them to a signal

just a tip if you want to fly your pigeons yuou need to condition them then put a little colored flag on your loft then make a trap door for them to enter after flying so you can close the door of your loft and still they can enter thru the trapdoor

love the vids keep it up by the way I don't care to much about the magnet

Good luck in getting all your pigeons back bobby btw how's fred doing?

Keep Tristan around, i like that guy

It’s ok if not all of them come back. Only the ones with good homing instincts will come back so you cAn breed them.

Bobby if u keep letting them put once a week or so they will get better and come back to you and they could even draw in the other burds like Clark and keep up the work 👍🏾

Before you let the out to fly, make sure they do fly on an empty stomach. They will fly & exercise better & they will enter into your pigeon coops when food is available for them. Trap train them also, so that way they will be able to gain entrance to the lofts. Always fly them on empty stomach then call them in with food. Lovely pigeons by the way & a good loft setup.

❤Good Luck boy!

Good luck with the pigeons

very good looking pigeons

Yessirrrr. Timed this one on the drive in for the late shift. NOTIII

If you really want to enjoy flying get Tippler pigeons & also you have to train them properly have to have a aviary so they can look around get familiar with the area so they will come back good luck

Frustrating to lose birds but it’s definitely cool that all of them besides Clark are either back or in the area. Can’t wait to see this pond!! The ducks will love it. Love these videos

Love the videos Bob

Do not keep them closed. Open the door and let them fly on their own. Now that they have come back they will stay and fly around.

Bobby you should put bands on the breeders so you know which one goes where love the videos man keep it up don’t worry they should return to feed the babies

If you starve them before letting them out they always come back

Dude I let my birds out last week for the first time and I lost them all 😂 second day 4 or the 17 came back but all the others haven’t

Let’s see some more pigeon hunting. Really hate that ya lost Clark. Hopefully one day we will be out there to hunt with ya!

What you should have did to make homing pigeons is you don’t feed them for like 3 or 4 days then you let them out and throw food then they know where to eat and they come back

Hi. I saw your video and thought I'd send you some ideas. First, somewhere, on your coop, build a landing board up high and with no legs to the ground as racoons will climb them, get in and eat your birds. second, using traps just like you have on your trap on top of the coop, cut a hole in the side that just fits your traps and then put the traps in the hole. Now you have a doggy door type entrance for your birds. Before you release them, build a little 2'x2' cage with one side open and place the open side against the coop where the traps are that you just put in. Put all your birds in the cage and then put food in the coop. Each bird will eventually navigate the traps and go in. Do this 4 or 5 times then when you let them out they have a door to go in and they know how to go in. After that, you just let them out and hope for the best.

When you let them out for the first time, DO NOT, DO NOT chase them out from your coops 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 . They may never come back !!!! 😂😂🤣🤣

The Adults will go back to where they hatched at if they are or have homing blood in them. If not they are gone for good. They done flew the coop. If you want to keep them from flying back out you need a one way door. Basically a small door that they can push open when they come in but can't push back out. And easy one is to use a series of vertical metal bars about the thickness of chain link fencing and have a swivel point at the top. Have them spaced far enough apart that they can fit their heads through and they will push through. You may need to train them a little first by hand. It also works for doors on traps. It's used quite a lot here in Germany. Also you should use slide down doors just big enough for the birds to get out. You just open the doors and let the birds go out on their own and not push them. Once they are all out just shut the slide doors and have a small perch for them to land on with the one way doors there. They should be side by side or they may become confused and just fly back off and not return. Guess I should've waited a little more. The swing door like what's on the trap, lol.

Add a trap entrance where u r keeping the birds, so they can enter but not leave and can’t fly away when they wake up

Bob you should build a big perch for the in the air because they like stuff like that usually the that fly a round my place live on the barn a come and get food

Love the pigeon vids!

Another great video tho👍 you live and learn🙂 pigeon are very smart you should get most of them back🤞 if the white pair are still around you should be able to trap them.

I have a question Bobby. What is the brand of sunglasses you wear?

Did you mean July first for the dux rub

Waiting for the pegion hunt video title "we found clark" , just saying its likely to happen

You should try making your own duck call or just make the barrel and buy the inserts and tune it to your own

As soon as i seen this video i new it would be great i love your videos i hope i can meet you one day

Can you do a video showing your chickens and ducks

sing it boys love that callin

I feel you shouldn't have forced them out next time let them fly on their own and don't feed them that day until they come back then feed them so they want to come back

Bobby, make a vintage for the pigeons, like we do. This is a simple cross-shaped shelf for pigeon landing. On this perch they will land after they have made a fly-by from the dovecote. And you will always control them. Other hunters won't shoot them!

Good Montana morning Bobby

Do you keep your boy and grli pigeon in the same pigeon Koop

love your vids bobby!

hey you said your seasoning comes out june 1st in the video but I'm pretty sure that it is july first right

Hey Bobby surely they will come back . On the seasoning hope you meant July 1

Who’s deer antlers in the shop?

Scaring them to fly is not the way to go, but nice pigeons!

I'm your #1 fan Bob. Keep up the good work brother

And also you can tape their first four feathers on each wings and release them. They won’t be able to fly, that way they will get use to the area

Hey Bobby awesome video 🤘🇬🇧

Where is part 2 ? After trapped , did you catch the pigeons

Can only let them in and out one door which preferably the ones in front not the main door you go in

You can attach that trap to the side of your Loft and use that Bob trap like you're meant to

I saw a white pidgin on the corner of Halstead and 30th a few days ago I could of been yours??

you should have put a special hand on them before you released them so if some how you shot one you would know

Where I’m from if a pigeon lands on a different house or a place it’s not supposed to they teach them to land on one place and that’s it if one lands on different house they pluck their feathers till it learns

Bobby train them to go to trap door on your loft and put them in yiur roof so they know where to go

Geez, I couldn't watch the part where they were thrown away :)) I hope you got at least half of them back. (still watching the video, I don't know the end yet)

Put a landing board near the door. Put a trap in

With new birds that never have been released, how long should they stay in their coop before releasing them for their first time?

July 1st my man

Best of luck getting your birds back. Hopefully there still close🤙🏼👍🏼

RIP Clark

suggestion : make a trap door in the main pigeon loft itself so needless to open the door & does make it easier for you also , my man & gradually teach or trained them to enter , by then if they are trained you can let them out & by the end of the day before dawn they will come back to the loft by themselves , just like that , ok.

So when are you going to add a Chesapeake to your crew???

June 1st for all meat DUX? I’ve been missing out for a month already

Ohhh the seasonings out 👍 tho flair said on his latest upload its still prototype

Seasoning available June 1st? It’s June 29th a little late haha.

You got to train birds to trap in it baby steps

love you

Cool loft i take it you just let them out hungry so it's easy to get them back in

You’ll get them back the ones that come back are the ones you can trust bro

old birds are harder to home to a new location. youre better off homing the young ones.

Bob you can fly them, you just have to let them get use to the area.

Have to let them out in a flock all at once and trap some birds make your own custom bands band them turn them loose and see if you kill them when you go pigeon hunting

#pigeon Lovers 💓

New subscriber. Great video. Thanks for the info.

You should also try and invest in a bigger loft because then that way you would have one side the breeders and other side the children and then you would fly the children but remember when a pigeon is forced out they can run away and when they come down don’t keep pressuring them to fly because they can run away

clark may have went to the old house because thats where he stayed the longest but i could be wrong

Keep an update if they come back or if you trap them

First mestake he mad is forcing theme out of cage

Love pigeons videos bobby nice video really love it🐦

great video man you should come hunt in Idaho

say hi to flair for me please bobby love you

Pure whites are especially attractive to raptors. Ceremonial release businesses need 75-100 birds to stay ahead of predation.

I let 2 out one came back after day 2 the other one still gone

Nice

U guys r so funny

They might go back to the old house since they were there for a long time especially clark
