Training the Birds
|
|
I fly my birds three to four times a week to train them and keep them
in good health. These animals are built to fly and every release is joyous
for them, too. The birds are especially bred for their homing abilities. Like
carrier pigeons, these birds have an innate instinct to find their way home.
I personally train them by taking them out further and further each time,
starting about a foot away from the cage and progressing out 60 miles away by
the end of a three month training process. Although these birds can probably
find home from just about anywhere, 60 miles is a good limit for both their
endurance and health.
