Looking forward to reading all your posts.

you.llhave to put a pic on

Ian the quasi i'm on about was the hunch back off notra darm

ah ok donn anyway i was wrong it was a cock it also belonged to john soderland as well as parkside superman

No worries mate only having a bit of fun

It is good to have some fun sometimes Don, just be carefull with who you have fun Friendly dogs can also bite

Please dont bite, it is only a joke !

ybs out today flew for only about 35 mins today for some reason......did throw in down with rain again about 15 mins after letting them out, maybe this is why ? doesnt usually bother them though. still, had a decent fly and came straight in when called so they are getting used to the routine pretty good now.

Niel your right some dogs do bite

Hi David glad to see you getting the birds into a routine

yes don, seem to have just click all of a sudden......coming on nicely at the moment.

David just stick with it and things will work for you

don, i think it will be easier to keep them in a routine when they are training and racing as they will be more disaplined(?) and if i stick to a fixed amount of corn they will be working it off by racing rather than just flying round home.

had ybs out today and flew for 55 mins, for the first time they landed on the loft instead of first landing on the house roof......i think calling then in and feeding them as soon as they land instead of letting them peck around infront of the loft is better and teaches them to land on the loft and do as they are told....

55 Minutes Insnt Bad

ybs not landing on house roof now for last few days, through some soil at them and since then they havnt been anywhere near the house roof and are landing straight onto the loft.......not usually that easy ???

once they get into a regular routine david they will be ok.

well said little hen

spoke too soon, they landed on the house roof agian today.......threw some soil at them again and down they came onto the loft, suppose it will take a bit more time.

dont worry david they wont do it on race day

hope not ian, didnt go near the house roof today so thats a good sign........suppose it will take a bit of time but they will get there.

yes your right david they will

as ian says,all fanciers have this problem if they have their birds at home in the garden.just stick at it and they will learn.

yes, thanks littlehen....they were out today and didnt land on the house so they are not doing bad at the moment.......i dont think im going to get them out of the habit over night so ill just keep up to the routine of not letting them land on the house by throwing something up at them, although i dont think the willow tree in front of the loft is doing them any good as they have to land from the back of the loft.

can you not put something on the roof david to stop them because it might cost you when you race them

David if you have some old eggs which the pigeons have laid and you don't want them then use them by throwing them at the pigeons

With throwing soil you have more chance of damaging your roof tiles
