The door is the entrance of the pigeons to the loft, which is characterized by the fact that they can only enter but not leave, and the exit of the loft is closed immediately after the release of the pigeons. Learning to enter the door is an important first step in the training of the young pigeons, and it is the basis for the training of the future open home, so that the pigeons can fly even better and can't go back home.
When pigeons are 25-30 days old, this training is the most effective. Put the pigeons on the landing stage and let them look around and recognize the unfamiliar environment. It hovers in the doorway with fear and trepidation, and finally, under the leadership of the bold, flies in the door, and then a few times in a row that is successful. The next step is to open the home training.
2 Home training
The so-called home training is to start recognizing your own home and to make sure that the pigeons, which have just started to fly, are able to fly back. If you are in a hurry to release the young pigeons, it is possible to leave without saying goodbye, and never come back, with the words of the pigeon breeder swimming shed, you pour your efforts in vain, this is the most let the pigeon breeder hurt his head, how to be good? It is necessary to train the young pigeons to open the house.
When the young pigeons grow to one month of age, about 40 days, they can be trained to open their home, the same way you let the young pigeons stay on the lookout for one week, and then when the old pigeons come back and land on the roof of the shed, you release the young pigeons and let them rest with the old pigeons, and then let them come back to the shed with the old pigeons to eat. After two or three times in a row, you can release the young bird to fly half an hour earlier and fly with the subsequent release of the old bird and return to the shed together.
Since it is a recognized home, there is another exception, when you buy pigeons outside or pigeons given by others, and fly back to the original place, what to do in this case? You can smother the pigeon's head in water for 3-5 seconds, and after a few times, it will remember your home. After the home training, a higher level of training begins.
3 Rapid entry training
When the young bird is homed and is about 60 days old, you can start training it to enter the shed quickly, which is the key to good results in future races.
When one day in the 500 kilometers race, the pigeons that arrive after you are in the shed first, and the pigeons that arrive after you are in the shed first, and you lose the championship, how will you feel? It is enough to show the importance of the fast entry training.
The training method is not to give young pigeons to eat, in the morning and evening every day before the release do not feed, so that the pigeons flying on an empty stomach, the more they fly the more hungry, landing on the ground, want to eat, we have to go to the shed to drill, and to develop this habit is in the hunger to burst out. In the future, when you come back from the competition, as soon as you arrive at home, you will drill into the shed, which is the result of the fast training in the shed.
4 Four-way release training
Thirty days after the rapid entry training, that is, the young pigeons are about 90 days old. It is time to consider training in four directions: east, west, south, north and south. Through the four directions flying training, can improve the young birds flying sense of direction, to be familiar with the loft a few kilometers or dozens of kilometers around the general environment, is one of the keys to improve the performance of the race later.
Research shows that pigeons fly within a radius of 80 kilometers many times, and after familiarizing themselves with this environment, when they encounter it during the races, they reflexively sprint and no longer feel the flight.
Training can generally be carried out from one kilometer, gradually incremented 1-3 times, to 20 kilometers, at a distance of 40 kilometers, 60 kilometers, 80 kilometers. Take your loft as the center, carry out four directions of training release, release no matter in which direction first, should be familiar with one direction and then go to another direction release, to be familiar with the direction of all around, and then do alternate direction release.
5 Directional training
Square training to reach 80 kilometers, you can consider directional training, the so-called directional training, is a fixed location, to do the return flight, the flight distance can be a little farther, generally 100 kilometers, 150 kilometers or so. This training should not be neglected. The requirement is that it must be consistent with the race route organized by the pigeon club. 100km or less can be released as a single unit.
The above training belongs to the basic training, and a pigeon's future victory lies in the sea and the sky.
6 Home training
Home training, also known as renewal of the shed, or flying around the house, is a kind of consolidation training, but also a need to enhance the health of the body to ensure the health, the main point is that the first is a regular release, and the second is a free flight. Timed release 2 times a day, 7:00 a.m. once, 1-2 hours to return to the nest, 5:00 p.m. to release a flight, which can reduce the fly lost, but also in time to return to the nest, the disadvantage is that the amount of movement is a little bit insufficient, you can use flags to drive the pigeons to increase the flight time, a few times after the pigeons can be extended after the flight time.
