Great loft extension! Excellent solo builder skills👍. Best wishes throughout the young birds season. You're certainly doing all you can to ensure their health and wellbeing. Good luck!
Sir im a pigeon racer here in the Philippines. Unfortunately due to busy and hectic schedule on my school i am forced to stop my hobby. And by this video you remind me how i built my loft by my self alone. But not that kind of big loft. I really miss mg birds. When i graduate in college and have a career ill promise my self to go back to my beloved hobby
Unreal! Best video yet. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your attention to the details in building your loft. You must sleep very well at night as you work your tail off! Very handy guy too... Hope your season goes well! I can't believe you are only 3 years into the sport. Keep us posted on how it is going; keep the videos coming! Thanks again!
What I like most about your videos is you do everything without extra hands. That’s really cool and motivational. Sometimes an extra set of hands can really help, but after seeing most of your videos I really think you don’t need a set.
Hey Sean, another great video! I am in my later stages of building my first loft and have used lots of your ideas. This video couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks again
This is what my friend Jeff is telling me, both of you have the same ideas, the importance of ventilation. Keep up the good work. You are an encouragement.:-)
Incredimazing looking loft and extension, Sean. You did a fantastic job on it. The birds will benefit from all your hard work I'm sure. Thanks for sharing another great video.. Aloha!... Kevin
Hello Sean! can you give us an update what happened to Aloha Pigeons? My son and I really miss your uploads and we enjoyed watching your videos. I hope you're always fine. God bless... Aloha!
Good morning Sean, with the help and info from you and the mainland I think I've learned some things. But I think I need to learn more on the health part. With vaccinations, vitamin supplements, minerals and feed. And the season on molting. Yes young bird season is tough to do. I think it's the band being delivered to late in Dec. that holds up early breeding. Thanks for the invite I'll try and contact Brian to see if we can come by together. Take care and thanks again.
Good morning Sean, love the saying that goes like this. Build it and they will come. Based on old timers saying train birds hard and they will find there way home. Since long distance training here is limited. I agree to what you were saying. On race day hopefully birds will fly in a flock as they fly there GPS is on remembering there path. As they reach Makapuu point they'll know how to come home. And this would be there long distance toss. Hopefully this will build in there memory.
Hay one of the best videos you did so far birds look great and it was good to see Bob again you sure you're not a carpenter because you no what your doing keep up the good work and the the videos coming good luck in 2018 🐦
What a brilliant video and superb loft, you really are giving pigeon racing your best shot. If I had to give you some advice it would be to invest in some top pigeons. Go to 3 local fanciers who are at the top of the results and get youngsters off their very best birds, late breds are a good bet as they are more likely to give you these or even get eggs off them. Cross these birds don't keep them pure....I did and until I crossed them we had no success. This along with your brilliant loft and husbandry will surely bring you success. Look forward to your next post. All the best from a very chilly West Cumbria England
Good morning Sean, in theory toss training from 3 release points on Oahu. Kahala 17 miles, HawIi Kai 21 miles, and Makapuu 23 miles. Which I call Bay zone, Central zone and Mountain zone. With the Skyleader GPS one can track the flying path. After 3 zone tosses one can see if birds will fly straight home or detour some where within the zones. As you do more of your toss training one would have a better idea where birds path are flying. Theory flying races from Big Island or Maui. With limited toss miles on Oahu. I agree what you were saying. Staying with a large flock ( 1000 + birds ) and flying together is good. This will educate birds and they will learn there way home. The more they fly the more they learn. I believe when they reach Makapuu they should know there way home. Are you going to use your GPS device on race day. On toss train are you using GPS device and timer.
Nice job ...I like the clear roofing material very nice looking loft how many YB you are hatching 🐣. I’m going to have about 45 this year . Training for the first 150 Mile race but the weather is crappy here for the next two weeks I hope I get some break to go at list 50 Miles couple times . I lost two old birds to electric wires also
Damn bro can you send me the diagrams that whole loft did you just put together for front to back top to bottom I was watching your video and that is absolutely fantastic that’s a beautiful law I’ve seen a lot of loss over the years but that’s nice you did a great job on that
Great job..I have a question about the light and how you go about inducing a molt..maybe you could do a small video or if anyone out there is reading this maybe you can share your experience..many thanx in advance for all input..
Thank you! I will be sure to include more info about lighting in the future. But briefly, as soon as the birds go in the flying loft I make sure they have about 20 hours of light. They will drop their flights. Then about halfway through April I will cut about half an inch off the tips of the 9th and 10th flights. I then pull the 9th and 10th flights and stop using the lights on May 1st. With the normal daylight hour they then drop their body feathers. The birds start to loft fly again when the 9th and 10th flight grow back in the early part of June.
Great upgrade on the loft ! Love the design 😁🙂 lol man the extra feet up in the air is great more air vent 🙂. Unm, breed early is always good because you have a better chance of having winners or breeding winners 😊! Try not to use too much medication but whatever works do it for your birds and do so as you observe your birds everyday. Settling your birds unm I would just wait until there a month and half old. More light is way better 🙂 birds need that vitamin ✓ ! 🙂 Would also say let them take a bath every weekend or on your schedule. Keep the long videos coming & like the video you took from the roof of your house because it helps your bird to not have bad habits like landing on your roof or your neighbor etc
