birds for training?
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:48:39 PM »
Anyone know where a person can get birds for training in the puget sound area?   Looking for cheap qail perferably, but pheasants or chucker would work as well.

bumping it for you since I, too, would like a good line on this.  Currently I can only get pigeons occasionally.

I get my birds down south near Vancouver.  I too would like to find someone in Tacoma or Puget Sound that has birds.  A friend of mine in Portland has pigeons he offered to me, but I don't have a coop.

I have some bobwhite quail and some ringneck pheasants if folks are interested, send me a PM with what you are looking for. They tend to sell pretty quick after the hunting season is over.

I raise pheasants and bobwhites. Mostly for dog training but they are raised in flight pens and can fly.

Has anyone used a cage type pigeon trap to successfully get birds for dog training?  I am thinking of buying one and would like to know if they work first.

Wife says all but the breeders gotta go. I have bobs and pheasants for a reduced price next weekend only. PM if you are interested. What ever I have left will be eaten by us or shot over my pup on Monday. Good luck.
