training youngbirds

[quote="Don Webb"]Always try and train them when the balance is hungary but not starving hungary

So when they come out of the basket they am flying on energy and no food in there crop[/quote
Don ur spot on mate, the other thing i do is only put 8 youngsters to a basket, each basket is liberated 10 mins apart, this helps to create leaders instead of followrers, as each timethey are basketed it is not always the same pigeons in the same baskets

yes i agree ian, these ways are what we need to listen to as it could give us that little edge we have been looking for and make that bit of difference to the results.......

if i put 8 in a basket i would be there all day,lol,i know its my own fault having so many

with things as they are ill be craming 30 ybs into one basket next season.........on the look out to buy another basket at the moment.

david got a paniar if you want it

hi ian, is it a big race type pannier.......how big is it and could one person carry it thanks ian

yes david it is a race panier

hi ian, is it big....would it fit in my car and could one person carry it full of birds ? thanks ian.

yes it will fit in car bit of a strugle with one person

Spot on Ken with your comments hats of to you mate

Will say once i have the birds flying as a team and with bags of confidence then will put them up in 3's to make them work and use there brain

do that myself don but in fours

Thats the only way to sort the wheat from the shaft

If they are any good they will last the pace if not they will fall

to true don doesnt harm to let them think for themselves instead of following each other home in batches

was reading something today which said that ybs are generally all followers ????? dont know how they come to this conclusion but anyone any thought on what they meant.........

they cant all be followers can they david they have got to follow some thing one of them has got to take the lead home

For every good young bird there is a good 10 followers

But the followers are caused when you train with everyone on the same transporter and all pigeons coming to the same area, that is ere you can say most of them are followers

But to stop this train on there own and make them work there brain then train a few training tosses to get them use't to being on a transporter

hi don, i suppose they meant that because ybs are learning they just follow the others, whereas obs already know the game and can do it on their own.......just a thought.........

You could say yes to your comment

But if they are always trained with the same bunch of pigeons them they are going to follow the next pigeon as that is what they have always done

ah right, read it in the r.p. weekly by someone......didnt understand what they meant.
