very true
It’s easy to get birds to trap like that if you keep them hungry. But I don’t think birds like that would be in the right condition for racing.
I just think that we need to be very careful on what we post for new members to watch where they might think that this is how they should all be kept. I’ve been watching some of the traps of Mark Gilbert, can’t get a much better fancier than him, and his pigeons circle a couple of times before coming down and don’t rush to go in. They’re not slow by any means but also don’t rush. He has his ETS pads attached to the landing boards so as soon as they touch down they are recorded though.

Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.
