resettling?

Hey guys how is it going?
So I'm getting some iranian high flyers this week maybe about 14 young birds and was wondering if I could resettle them in my loft.
Thanks

I think so, did you ask any questions to the person selling you the birds?

My opinion is that if it is not homers, you are not really resettling them. It is more like you are letting them get familiarize with their new home and their new environment. As I understand these birds just fly really high near your loft so they are local birds to me. To answer your question, yes, they can. To me the most difficult are the homers because they have this concept of "home."

so I just keep them in my loft for 1 month and then let them out?

You do the same thing as rehoming/resettling homers. You can also treat them like tipplers and do what the articles say in tipplers.com:http://www.tipplers.com/info/.

For young ones:http://www.tipplers.com/info/info/01...g_ybs_ntu.html
These are for young birds as well: http://www.tipplers.com/info/categor...oungbirds.html

Thanks for the links but those articles are for tipplers and I have tumblers..the guy I got these birds from told me to keep them inside the loft for a month and open you loft door and let them come out on their own while they are hungry and then they will circle around your loft and come back and I was wondering if I could train them to trap?
Thanks
