Watching the birds fly is a beautiful thing.
Ace I have 10 total. I will keep them at the 5 mile distance for a while. I've already been told to push them more but I'm gonna be safe about it. These are the best stock of birds I've ever had and I want them to reach their full potential. I will continue to toss them together for now but will eventually train them by tossing them 2 at a time.Well Henry,
It sounds like a great day to me! Any time you take young birds out five miles for their first toss and they beat you home it's a great day. It sounds like you have done things right and have them off to a great start, but don't get to cocky and try to move them along to fast just because they are doing good. Make sure they have it all figured out first.
How many young are you training? If you have more than just a few birds it can be a real good idea to release them in two or three groups, 15 to 20 minutes apart. This way if something happens (and it does) you will not loose your whole team.

I'm glad you're encouraged Della! There's nothing like the excitement of road training. It's as close to a race as your gonna get. If you have good birds it is very rewarding at the end of the day to know that you took them for a toss from whatever distance and they came back home and are sitting happily on their little perches waiting for the next toss.Great news! I can imagine how excited you must be...I have yet to road train mine, so your success is heartening stuff! Good luck with them!
Thanks! I'm very excited about this group of yb's.looks like you got some good ones.
Too Funny!...Henry,
Congrats! You definitely got good ones as fresnobirdman said. You definitely has the "feel" for the birds. Sometimes here at my loft I tell my friends that I can "communicate" with my birds psychically! I can "feel" them and I "know" what they are thinking! LOL! My friend says it is the beer consumed the night before that causes all of these. Obviously, we partied the night before so.....
Did I tell you before that you have the talent of choosing champion birds? I find your birds have the look of champion birds.
Thank you! I will do my best!Henry.Your enthusiasm is contagious! Keep having fun with with the bird's.Good luck with your program.
