I'm 65 years old and been racing pigeons since I'm 21 years of age. I
have never seen pigeon losses like I've been seeing the past 5 years or
so. The weather can be perfect at the release with no other combines in
the area and we still get poor returns week after week. Not just me,
most of the combine. There's a lot of speculation out there as to why,
I feel we'll never know till someone can sit down and talk to a bird
that talks back and we know that will never happen. However I would
like some feed back, some input on the matter if you will. I don't care
how off the wall it sounds, I would like some input.........Tom

Hi,
I have done alote of reading on Micro-wave and Cellur Phones and came up
with the conclusion that it changs the homing abilty of the racing
pigeon to the exstint that it scrambels there brians.
What else can it be other than that and the towers we see every where.I
remember reading back when russia was a communist country that they
would flood the CIA and FBI head quarters with Micro-Waves and that
would cause the people working inside the buildings to have head acks
and cold sweats,I belive this does the same to our birds.

Are they flying near dairy farms? They are often not welcome there. It is
becomming popular to have the state gys come and poisen the starlings and
pigeons for the sake of cow health. There are also bird traps set up. At
the farm I work at 200 pigeons were shot two years ago. We still haven't
regained the number of pigeons that were present in the past. Now when we
see a pigeon its generally too friendly. Not sure if they just stop to rest
and over eat to the point they can't fly off or what but its strange. We
don't kill them anymore unless they take up residence. Haven't seen any with
bands yet but I also wasen't there when the 200 birds were killed.
Just a thought.
Sarah
