Anybody need pigeons?
« on: December 22, 2018, 09:24:24 PM »
I'm headed to the dry side for my last upland hunt of the season.  While I'm there I'm picking up a bunch of barn pigeons from a rancher friend of mine.  These are feral birds, so they should be really strong flyers.  $5 each.

Mods, if this should be in classified, my bad.  I'm not making money, just trying to help fellow dog trainers. :IBCOOL:

  They're being caught out of an old silo.  There may be squeakers.  If there are any you will get them.

What is a squeeker?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I didn’t know either.

squab - young pigeon, usually 18 days old, butchered for table meat. squeaker - young pigeon that still squeaks, before the voice changes to a coo. fledgling - young pigeon that is just learning to fly. Root word also used as a verb - "to fledge", or "has fled
"Just because I like granola, and I have stretched my arms around a few trees, doesn't mean I'm a tree hugger!

The reason for squeakers is that the young birds will "home" a lot better and faster than the adult birds.  If a fella wants to start raising them for a steady supply that's the best way to go.  They aren't much good for training IMO.
