Reasons for the low homing rate of racing pigeons

Racing pigeon is different from meat pigeon, it is a kind of pigeon specially used for flying competition, it is bred in many areas at present, its nest recognition performance is good, but many racing pigeons do not return to their nest every year. So what is the reason for the low homing rate of racing pigeons? Let's get to know it.

1. Pigeon house magnetic field disorder

There are large mines near the pigeon house, such as iron ore, which will affect the magnetic field of racing pigeons. We all know that the reason why racing pigeons can accurately return to their nests depends on the magnetic field positioning of nature. Once the magnetic field is in disorder, it is equivalent to people's eyes are blind, so it is almost impossible to return to the nest at this time, so the magnetic field near the pigeon house must be stable and normal.

2. Improper feeding

Many people raise racing pigeons after the pigeons return to the nest do not give enough supplies, so that the pigeons feed outside, for a long time there is no nostalgia for the pigeon house, develop the habit of not going home intermittently. In addition, it is not suitable to feed too complicated before the game, and it is usually raised very well, but improper feeding before the game will lead to its non-homing. Some people will be stuffed with some food and medicine before the competition, which will affect the performance of the pigeons. It's best not to return to the nest.

3. Feeding medicine after the match

Many farmers will have such a situation, the pigeon is better in the competition, the hope is great, but not in the later stage, this is because the racing pigeon needs a period of time to recover from each race in order to ensure the good condition of the next race. If the disease prevention measures are not taken after each game, and if the next race is held in a hurry, it is in poor health and may not return to the nest.

4. Pigeons are not paired.

Pigeons that have not been paired are also easy to get lost. as long as the race schedule is relatively long, they will encounter other pigeons during the homing process of racing pigeons, and the opportunity may go with them to avoid meeting a lot of pigeons during the long race schedule. This will have a certain impact on the homing of racing pigeons, so they must be paired at the right time. In addition, pigeons who are bullied in pigeon houses are also easy to get lost. This kind of pigeons must not compete remotely. Once the possibility of putting them back remotely is close to zero.

The above is the introduction of the reasons for the low homing rate of racing pigeons. I hope I can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
