My birds always (95 percent of the time) counter clock wise when lofting. Is it the opposite in the southern hemisphere?

That's interesting because mine go clockwise Then again, they'd almost have to. We have so many trees, that they've sort of got a track around the loft, and they always go in a certain direction when they're ready to land. Which just happens to be the opposite direction from yours

Well mine here in California on the west coast also go clockwiseGEORGE

there is no such direction for birds i think
my birds fly in different directions and both anti and clock wise

Interesting question Chris,
Mine counter clock most of the time.

Depending on the loft,and where it is located...If trees,and your home,or power lines/telephone poles etc are in the way,they MIGHT HAVE TO fly only one way to land...
If there are no obstructions in the way,they should be flying into the wind to land...Alamo

Mine fly both ways, but predominantly counter-clockwise.

Thanks for the replys everyone. I have been studying my birds a lot in flight to see how each individual bird is doing. I thought since pigeons are so consious of the earth magnetic field they might be effected just like water going down a drain. NOw that i say it it sounds kinda silly but hey you never know. I know that there are cases where the birds have obsticals in the way but mine dont have much in their way and they fly counter clockwise when landing every time.
Im doing more research.

My bird mostly fly clockwise when flying low around the loft. But when flying high up they go either ways.

Wow it must be amazing to see your birds flying free like that.
