How To Train Roller Pigeons
Before we start discussing on how to train roller pigeons, lets discuss the feathers of this line of birds. They are from simply colored to tropical. Many species have striking patterns, especially on the head, neck and wing feathers. Gender distinction based on the color of feathers in these birds is not possible.
All species have a strongly developed craw, which serves them to store food, for some parts of the digestive process, and for the preparation of voluptuous milk. Some species still have the remains of the appendix, while most species disappear completely.
Among the variety of species, there are many distinguished specialists, but also freshmen. But most species not only have a great need for drinking water, but also for bathing. These birds live monogamously most of the times.
They are mostly nestled on trees and shrubs. But there are species that nest on the ground or in sludge. Most species may have several litters in one year. Both parents are taking part in the eggs. The dwarf nest of pigeons is most often made from sticks found in nature. On the battered eggs during incubation, both male and female sit.
With the advent of radio and the use of the phone, pigeons are in the past. Now they are used for sports purposes, so a group of pigeons is called a sport. So our next question is: How to train roller pigeons?
Training pigeons in the organization should be done correctly, the performance of the flight and ability to improve and develop. Trained pigeons can reach a speed of 60 km / h or more, with the height of the flight after bad weather is 150 m, and well -. 350 m ready for the sporting events of the pigeons able to overcome the distance of 500 km. Birds return to the cages, even if they are moved to another location. Sport training birds have good durability, ability to navigate terrain and vary the long duration of the flight. To check for the presence of these pigeon features, be released at a fixed distance from the fixed Dovecote and determine the speed of their return home. Pigeons usually prepare for advance competition so that they can fly and go to different weather, at any time of the year. Well-trained birds can show their skills, but we need to train even champions. Otherwise, they can show poor return rates or even be lost. Pigeon-lovers should be aware that certain qualities are mainly grown by birds, which have appeared on the right and established breeding, and not by accidental pairing. Inherited and perfected during training of quality pigeons.
The influence of external factors – The worst long-distance pigeons fly is in the winter, and their speed is decreasing. If the pigeon is released at night or dusk, then they return home usually in the morning. Special training allows some birds to return at night, but on condition that the pigeon house is illuminated. In bad weather, birds can stray, especially in strong winds, rain, bumps, because poor visibility prevents the target areas. Only with persistent training is the necessary quality of a sports or a letterhead. Before you start training, you need to know at what age should begin teaching as a freebie bird (one or a bunch), which interval should be between the training, from what distance it is necessary to start. These are just some examples of how to train roller pigeons.
The training and the degree of preparation of pigeons depend on weather conditions. If the summer has bad weather, then it is delayed for a long time, you should plan the training of your bird breeder’s. In winter, the training is harder. If snow is snow-free but cold, the quality and speed of the flight do not differ much from the summer. Snow winter creates pigeons completely unknown ground, resulting in flight quality and yield rates on the site worsening. Winter should be given only to feed the pigeons, as in cold weather, the body of the bird can quickly weaken. Therefore, the training season in winter is best done in clear and stable times when the terrain changes occur gradually.
