You know as well as I do that I provided you with tracking details of pigeons flying from training 20+ miles homing in a beautiful line on Chat.king wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 4:47 pmBut how many pigeons fly in straight lines Mike? The further you send a bird the LESS likely it is to fly in a straight line? Tracking birds has proved this. That's why the old concept of 'corridor' flying failed. Nobody told the birds that they had to stay in the corridor.
If you want me to re-post that again Im' happy to. That was pigeons in N.Ireland navigating mountains and Loch's too
Pigeons flying A-B. Good pigeons will get beaten by other good pigeons that have an added assistance of the wind in their favour. That's basic
There's occasions when you can "beat the wind". I've done it myself on numerous occasions but you need to have a really good pigeon significantly better than anything else in the convoy that day to do it
