YBs flying better...

had my ybs out this morning and they flew for one and a half hours, they kept going off in one direction for approx 20 mins then returned from another direction .......they were ranging all across the sky and flying pretty good so im pleased with how they are progressing to say they wernt flying at all 4 days ago..........
think our yb racing starts in approx 6 weeks or so

our 1st race with the yb's is the 1st week of August we got 4 races altogether
3 X 69 mile and 1 X at 120 mile

i agree, i was just letting them out every day waiting for them to fly..........there comes a time when they have to be made to fly.

mine 4 birds fly around for 15 mintues then back on to the roof and i can see another guys birds about 20 or more flying around for hour and half very high every day .is there a reason for this ?

mine are flying very high lofthouse, i also feed light so it could be something to do with the feeding...................

They must exit the loft like a hurricane , a fat pigeon is a lazy pigeon , a lot of factors must be spoton to achieve the hurricane effect.

hi niel, hope your doing ok.......

i agree with you niel....mine were a bit on the fat side until i got them flying, when they first flew for 30 mins they were panting when they landed but are ok now they have lost a bit of weight and got a bit fitter.........

they are doing 1 and a half hours every day at the moment (let out once a day)

david stop feeding them all them peanuts tehe

stopped giving them, makes them too fat............

greedy for them................

lmao fair play mine dont seem to fat tho and fly around home with out having to scare them so dont have to moan atm

have you got them on the dark...?

yes it would be easier............pmsl.

was going to try natural nexy year because i thought my ybs were not flying because of something to do with being on the dark....now i realise its nothing to do with it.

what you realised was it was you tehe

yes it was, if im not managing them correctly they cant be held responsible.........altho ybs so im led to beleive are lazy if you let them be, so once they get into a bad routine its hard to get them out of it i would presume.

now mine are flying better i need to keep them going until its time for them to train.......

true i added a pic of a loft deisn im planning on doing on the welcome post

looks good chris, when will you be building that ?
