Dead Birds

[CLARKTAR]

Not sure if this is correct wording, but I am looking for some dead birds that I can toss around for my pup. Or maybe I need to buy them live, and dispatch them? Just want to get him excited and running around with birds. We have pheasant wings and he likes them and tears them up, but I can not throw them very far and therefore he doesn't really retrieve them and bring them back. But he loves playing with them!

Thanks,

This will work just fine.  Has the sent and all.  Or get a dokken's throwing dead duck decoy and zip tie wings to it.  Your looking for the scent and the decoy has the feel and weight.  Great training aid.  Besides a duck carcass gets nasty in short order.

Buy some pigeons, kill one and play fetch. Keep it in the freezer. Clip the wings on a live one make your dog sit toss the bird and let it walk off, then send your dog after it. i did this with my lab and he never killed the live one.

Do you get to the Tacoma area often?  I've got a couple of frozen chukar you can have.  The advice PA BEN gave with the live pigeon is better though.

Old Dog, I do head through Tacoma at times. PM me where you are at. If you are near I5, I might be able to grab tomorrow afternoon, or Sunday sometime... I will be with other people headed south to portland, so not sure if we can stop, but if close to I5 I might be able to!
