Last weekend we had the first flight for the young pigeons. Due to the weather conditions it became a flight with a two-night basket. And probably boys who didn't want to drink in the car yet.
We each brought eleven pigeons. We kept seven at home, since they were still flying around at ten o'clock in the evening before the day of basketing and did not dare to land in the loft. So they stayed out overnight and trickled in one by one on Friday. The last one only flew into the loft at about half past four in the afternoon. One had been injured, which apparently flew into something.
The pigeons were released on Sunday with a strong southwest wind. Only three managed to win prizes. On Sunday evening we had eight of the twenty-two back. Two more followed on Monday and one on Tuesday.
After one young pigeon flight, eleven have already been wasted. But let's hope that next Saturday with predicted temperatures of 31 degrees better. Hopefully they will be released as early as possible.
