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.

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 😊

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

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

i don't know it might be sound odd. but other pegion fancier in other country painting birds in pink to prevent falcon attack

صبح بخیر 6ساعت قبل از پرواز کبوتر دونه بدین که موقع پرداز نه زیاد سیر باشن نه زیاد گرسنه من همیشه 6ساعت قبل از پرواز به کبوترام دونه میدم و لاغر هم نمیشون چند روز قبل از مسابقه بیشتر از دونه های چرب استفاده کنیم اگر کبوتر شما از یک سال کمتر عمرشان است در مسابقه شرکت نکنین. یا اگر شرکت کردین در مسافت کوتاه شرکت کنین تا 300کیلومتر

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.

You cant get fit on a feed of lettuce, you need some pasta and steak to develop muscles and fitness. Dont feed so light honestly, the weather is wetter, colder and windier, your birds are burning energy just sitting on the perch of a night to keep warmer. Feed them more and heavier, proper race mix. They look like they are starving 😮

When I was still flying Rollers, my Peregrine was so bad that she would hit them 3 feet off the ground as they came out the kitbox door and on a couple of ocassions even went completely to ground after knocking them down.

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.

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.

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

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.

[CallOfStuey]

Get a few European Eagle owl statues up stops hawks and falcons

[changcoua]

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.

[brianbehan]

Kurt if you can get them race fit by training two or three times per week you won't need to Loft fly during the race season your young ones will bee the problem here we don't race young and old together best of luck you will need it with them falcons

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. Groetjes Walther (Nederland)

When I used to loft fly my birds I never feed them prior to them flying, feeding creates problems when you want them in the loft, they will fly and sit around on roofs and power poles and even some will stay out and go in the next day, feeding before their loft fly is a bad idea in my opinion, you will learn probably the hard way lol, after flying and they look like wanting to go in rattle a tin with feed in it and put their feed in then they will go in as long as they are hungry and you haven’t fed them before letting them out, racing and feeding is different as distance goes on. Hope I have helped in some way other flyers may have a different approach.

Your birds look a little too hungry you'll have a hard time with them wanting to exercise youngbirds need all they can eat high energy seeds like whole corn and safflower they are still growing and maturing also its better that they have enough fuel to get home from a race or training toss then to run out of gas and not be able to fly the rest of the way home.
