Good ,Friday Morning Breeders
Guy’s, we ran our first inventory test to make sure the clock was working correctly.
We ran all 5 sections over the clock pads for each section I am 100% positive it missed,
A few birds because only the first section has been loft flying . we are adding bobs to the traps,
Next week to slow the birds down we will do another inventory next week .
The health has been amazing this year .We are so excited about the new loft and the design of it ,
So far . We are still doing things around the loft lot of landscaping left to do laying so sod getting bleachers and picnic tables so everyone,
Can come watch all the races it’s going to be a fun year.
Thanks again for all the support this year we are working hard to make this a premier Race in Georgia

Just quick update ,the birds are coming in daily we are over 600 birds in the loft now .
This will be a very busy week we are testing the clock all week loft flying the first group of birds.
Birds’ health has been great knock-on wood we will be letting the 2nd group out to loft fly next week.
We had a few visitors at the loft bring birds They have all loved the design of the loft . I wish we
Could take the credit for the design but we copied the loft in Thailand not 100% but very close
To The Thailand Grand Pigeon Race . The air flow is awesome and the sunshine in the loft is amazing
For the health of the birds . The traps being orange has made it so easy for the birds to learn to trap I know that sounds crazy
But the birds are drawn to the color we learned that completely by accident ,Back in the late 1970s and early 80s, the Coast Guard thought they had a better way to search for people lost in the ocean. They tested using pigeons affixed to the underside of helicopters. Yes, like the pigeons in the park. And, yes, it did work. The birds performed about twice as well as their human counterparts at spotting “appropriate targets” on their first pass over an area.
The pigeons involved in Project Sea Hunt, as the effort was known, were first sent to “basic training.” For obvious reasons, about the only thing pigeon basic shared with human basic was the name.
Pigeons were placed in training chambers with “peck keys” that released food when pressed. Once the pigeons got the hang of the keys, their training boxes would be faced toward Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, where a buoy with a radio-operated orange plate floated. Trainers would expose the orange plate and then reward the pigeon when it hit the keys, but wouldn’t feed the pigeons if the plate wasn’t exposed.
Over time, the target would be moved further away from the pigeons to train them to look further out to sea. Once the pigeons passed basic training, the top graduates would proceed to advanced training where the pigeons were actually placed in chambers mounted beneath a helicopter and had to find orange, yellow, and red objects in the ocean. Each bird covered a 120-degree window, so a pod with three pigeons could see in 360 degrees.
In testing on the helicopter, the pigeons spotted targets on the first pass 90 percent of the time. The human crewmembers were capable of finding the target on the first pass only 38 percent of the time. In a later test, when the humans knew they were trying to catch up to the pigeons, the humans scored a 50. In passes where both humans and the pigeons spotted the target, the pigeon spotted it first 84 percent of the time. The pigeons were proving to be amazing day-time searchers.
There were a few drawbacks to the use of pigeons. First, the weight of the pigeons had to be carefully maintained. Pigeons at 80 percent of their “free food” weight were generally hungry enough to search the ocean for hours without losing focus. Dropping below that weight threatened the pigeons’ health but going above it would reduce their effectiveness.
