Great video and a good video for beginners. I sure miss this hobbie. I will be back , maybe not for racing , but maybe back into showing . I have had a great success on racing , but will be back into modenas pigeons , and back into showing.Randy Barnes , crossview lofts.
I'm from Indonesia, this video is very good. a lot of pigeons and fly together. I also breed pigeons in Indonesia but a few, maybe one day there will be a lot.
Im a little confused. I understand that they all take off from the same starting line but since they all have different homes where is the finish line at? I understand its whose gets back the fastest but what if one person's pigeon home is 10miles closer than another pigeon home? How do you decide a winner if they all are going to different homes?? I get that every owners pigeons all get put in that trailer & drove X AMOUNT OF MILES AWAY but since every owners pigeons fly to their house how does a winner get chosen if PIGEON #1 has to fly 14miles farther than PIGEON #2 ?

@@moist5717 .. I've been in the game to long to believe a claim like that.. You aren't getting 60 mph out of your birds unless you have a good tailwind.. The best birds in the world don't even do 60 mph under normal racing conditions.. I rest my case.
I'm always asking myself why these people complicate things so much. I always sent my youngsters without any preparation to 86 kilometers with the club.. Without any problem. If at this first flight one of my pigeons clocks with first ones in the club it often becoms a champion. So maybe you're just afraid to see that so little of your pigeons are champions.
Racing pigeons is all well and good but the dirty underside is the illegal killing of hawks to protect the pigeons from being taken. I'm sure not all pigeon-racers do this but it happens.
in WWI, Britain ordered killing hawks to protect messenger pigeons. Not surprised if it happens today. Personally, I would keep hawks around to take my pigeons. The pigeons that escape, I will have them make babies.
Wherever a bird first flys from. It usually makes it it’s home. So the breeders aren’t actually allowing the birds to fly most times. They are just combining good genetics and hoping to make a fast bird. The Falconers will home them and get them ready for the race. Not all races work like that but that’s one way.
