THURS. AUG. 24TH UPDATE

Evening flyers,

Some rain and clouds today - much more mild in temperature lately.  I think fall is coming.

Rick did a trailer release from about a kilometer from the loft.  The clock wasn't on so not "results" from this one.

Rick is doing these tosses every day from now until the end of the weekend.  After that, he is going to start adding some distance and see how it goes!

Have a great night,

Hi everyone 

Another inventory is up from last night.  Birds are healthy.

90% of the birds are flying as a team now.

Rick is planning some road training this weekend - weather permitting of course.

Stay tuned.

AUG. 7TH INVENTORY UP

Good morning everyone,

It's rainy here today (again).  I've just uploaded early this morning the newest inventory for the OLR.

There are 5 bands that did not scan during inventory and Rick is working on replacing those bands asap.  Sometimes the bands mysteriously stop working.  That's why we like to get them scanned individually for these inventories, and not just let them rush past the scanning pads.

Check out the RESULTS tab and select TRAINERS to see the latest inventory.

Have a great one,

Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady)

FRIDAY AUG 4TH UPDATE

Evening flyers,

Just posted a great video on Facebook tonight.  It shows Rick calling the birds in after they had some time outside with a loft fly and bath.  😊🐦

We're planning a trailer release in the yard on Sunday and we'll take a video of the release.  Rick is trying to get the birds to group together a bit more.

Of course we're prepping them for their soon to be race season!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

AUG. 1ST UPDATE

Good morning everyone,

The latest inventory is up as promised.  Check out the TRAINERS tab with the July 31st date on it.

Over the last couple of weeks, the birds that have gone missing from the inventory are not from sickness, they are from hawks or have not made it home from loft flying.  We assume they might be hitting things when ranging and not making it home.

Have a great one,

Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")

A quick update - the inventory will be done tomorrow and posted Tuesday.  Depending on the weather tomorrow (Monday), Rick is planning on doing a flying video.

INVENTORY IT UP! JULY 25TH

Sorry for the delay everyone, but the inventory is up.

We had some strange weather on Monday - crazy rain and winds, which ended up affecting our power to the coop.  Wiped the data from the module and we had to re-do.

It's now posted and up in the RESULTS/TRAINERS tab.  Check it out.

Thanks!

JULY 24TH UPDATE - INVENTORY TONIGHT!

Hi everyone

I was away over the weekend, so our weekly inventory is being completed tonight and I will post at latest by tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay - hope everyone had a great weekend!

There are still a few birds who show up unassigned - but no fear, I'm still fixing these.  I know who's birds they are :)

Thanks

INVENTORY UP - JULY 15TH UPDATE

Hi everyone,

The long overdue inventory is now up.  Please go to the RESULTS tab on wincompanion and select TRAINERS.  You'll see at the top of the list is the inventory that we just posted.  It does state July 10th as the "liberation" date, but that's only because we scanned them earlier in the week.

There are some listed that don't have their breeder beside it - these are ones that I have to correct as I've likely put an extra "character" that doesn't match from the computer program to the module that reads the bands.

Give me a bit to ocorrect this.

The plan moving forward is to have a full inventory for you by each Sunday evening.

Have a great weekend!

JULY 5TH UPDATE

Evening everyone

Posted a video of the birds out today on Facebook.

Rick's been letting them out about 2 sections at a time for about an hour each outing.

He's hoping to have them all flying together soon!

Inventory is coming soon as well.

Hope everyone has been staying cool in this hot weather if you're in it!

Thanks,

Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")
