Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

Can i just say, knowing your birds is knowing yourself. Routine for all, no routine its not going to happen. You have to work hard to know your birds, hours and hours of observation. Looking at different trates, and also if they value the loft. If they are not happy, well there must be a reason. So the loft environment is so important, a nice calm loft. Can motivate for them to return to that setting, and yes we have other motivation systems to help. But the love for home plays a big part.

Love of home is the best and most powerful motivation.

After a week away, the birds routine has been broken and I can see this in the birds, I am trying my best to get them back into the routine they had before I went away but some are a bit sheepish coming in now

Birds are trapping a bit better, I have cut the feed down hoping this helps with getting them in what do you think
