Silvio actually doe quite well with very few birds. He imported a lot years ago and culled down to 2. After racing them. Actually he is famous for his books on parrots. Breeding etc,. However as he says, keep what you like to look at also. The attitude of a pigeon speaks volumes. Split up the stock birds 2 days ago. Some were on eggs. Opened the section to feed the hens and one zipped out over my head. Have not had birds out for weeks. Not the stock birds for a month or more. The bird in question circled for 20 minutes then landed on the racing loft roof. Then flew over to the new plastic stock pen and sat on top of the aviary. No way in. So I went over and opened the door. She flew in in seconds over my shoulder. First time in that way but she saw the opportunity and took it. Blue pied,4 years old raced extremely well for me. She will race next year. Strong motivation to the eggs/nest. Wish I had more like her!
