I'm going to follow most of OhioGSP's recommendations from his thread "Starting with Pigeons" such as: feeding once a day, whistling when I feed, using a "settling cage" to familiarize them with the trap door, etc. (thanks BTW) but with my schedule, I won't be able to let them out an hour before dark and don't want to loose any of my birds when I start leaving the trap open. So, if you have any more tips to help with getting birds to home, especially when opening the trap for an hour and lowering the bobs in the morning, let me know.
They've been in my coop so long, I'd be surprised if most/all didn't come back but I just can't be sure until I let 'em fly. Hopefully feeding after I lower the bobs will be enough incentive for them to come back even though it's still light out. Guess I'll know for sure once I get home that day........ :roll:
Thanks for your help....
