NEVER Seen A Falcon Do This

Kurt just a little advise mate, they shouldn't be that hungry. Also confident pigeons aren't affected by falcons, so when they are that hungry their minds are on the food due to hunger instead of flying. When you feed lite you must give them all they can eat if feeding once a day. Indicator is feed them until 1/3 go to water then stop adding food. Hungry pigeons can't concentrate on their surroundings outside. I raced for years with falcon attacks every 2nd day, confident pigeons actually chase falcons away 💯. The key to confidence for them is feed correctly.

those falcons are a menace

They look incredibly hungry.... 9:12

Join the the club Kurt,we have just as many Falcons up here in Perth.I have lost 20 birds in month.And thats from training alone.Pigeon racing is dieing here because of to many Falcons in WA.

Hi Kurt , if u wanna get the birds loft flying longer drop the barley right back. Trust me I made the same mistake , too much barely the birds have no energy to fly. Pigeons can’t digest barley hence why it flushes them out and goes through so fast which means they don’t absorb the carbs from it. Trying to get the birds light through high barley only works for Frank McLaughlin as he doesn’t loft fly but he tosses 30-40 miles Tuesday and 80 miles Thursday so his birds are fit through tossing. U can keep birds light with low barley if u have all the other grains percentages right. That takes time to play with but once it’s nailed your birds will start rocking. Your birds flying so low because they don’t have enough energy and don’t really want to fly hence the extremely fast trapping. There starving because barley is so high. Hope this helps you a little 😊

Agree they're underfed.Feed a light diet but not all barley-10% is sufficient.The birds can't concentrate on the falcons if they're distracted by the hunger.Cut the colours in the kit....u'll find deep chequers/greasy blues r the best % survivors over rough terrain.It'll b a hard path as u need constant numbers to keep up with predation and racing.The birds need to be 100% every single day....one off day n they get taken.Wish u the best.

The more you work them, the more you will have to feed them. They look too hungry.

If your feeding regime supplies a lot more energy the birds will train very much better around the loft.. I am not convinced that those are perigrins attacking your team of birds. Perigrins attack from height mainly. Why dont you build a falcon trap and have them relocated elsewhwere? Unless you make a plan they will just get more bold and even attack the birds in the loft through the trap.

Do not give up mate

Keep going . never give up

never a dull day on maneys farm.

Hi i live in the UK i agree with what you say about feeding light mixture but i disagree about the falcon part in my experience all pigeons are spooked my them when they are flying together they have more confidence and that puts the falcons off but I've never seen any pigeons chasing falcons.

Cool footage Kurt! Sorry the falcons are relentless! Great trapping too

U make the best videos Kurt

Way to hungry that's why they don't fly

Im sure you are doing what is best and workimg for you atm. But i agree with the others. Your feeding to light. Light weight and under fed birds will always be easy to pick off.

it is odd yours seem to go low when the falcon comes around mine always flew so high it was hard to see them, they just keep going higher n higher to stay above hawks n falcons.and mine always have food.

Never give up keep on racing this is your year God bless you and family Chino Les 👆

Hallo Maney, jij houdt je duiven wel heel kort. 30 gram heeft een duif per dag wel nodig. Eerste dagen vermengen met gerst. Waarom motiveer je de duiven niet om snel naar huis te komen. Speel de duiven gescheiden. Dofffers en duivinnen heel de week apart en dag van inkorving 5 minuten samen. Of als je ze toch samen laat, zet er broedschotels neer in een kistje of achter een schuine plank. Deze systemen kan je ook bij jonge duiven toepassen. Succes. Leuke video’s van je.
