Free Pigeons

[RoosterBoy]

I have to reduce some of my pigeons, most are between 1-2 years old. I bought about 20 Roller Pigeons last summer.I could not fly them because a hawk started bird eying my coop.
Here some recent images from my Pigeon Gallery

is there a video of them spinning?

I would not give them away for free because they might go to a bad home, they could be used for dog hunting practice, food & any other things some horrible people will do to animals.

Good luck tho on finding them a good home.

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the forum,

Thank you for your offer to give these birds a home. Can you please show us pictures of your set-up and your other pigeons?

Since you are new here we would appreciate it, because we need to make sure everything is above board, that the birds won't be used for undesirable reasons, such as hunting, etc.

I'm sure you can understand, and hope you don't mind, as all of us love our birds, and would'nt mind either.

Thank you for your cooperation.

i have had fairly good results from the mirror ball i picked up at jedds.com
seems the hawks dont like other hawks in their territory. apperantly this scares them off. i need to put my back up soon. had loft on lock down do to hawk migration.

No, rollers cannot be raced like homers .. I'm not an expert but I do believe that rollers are intended to be flown in "kits" and that they pretty much stay around their loft and do not have much homing ability .. thus .. they cannot be raced like homing pigeons. I'm sure other members will be along with more information for you.
