Re: Sick pigeons, slowly dying HELP!
I am a little hesitant to give advice about pigeons, because I am certainly no expert, but I will tell you what I think I have discovered. This may not be your issue, but I believe that most of the health issues with 'dog training' pigeons comes from not enough ventilation and sunlight in the loft....

Re: Wild Upland Hunting in the West...Where?
The birds are where you find them, drought or no drought. Local conditions vary immensely, so like others I'd suggest you find some traditionally birdy spots and start walking. Try to find water in those spots - streams, etc., and keep walking. In Montana, the block management program is helpful, pu...
