Road training has started. Our training format is a lot of short tosses. We train 5-6 days a week, weather permitting. We start live clocking once birds are out 25 miles. We are currently releasing in groups of 100-200 birds. We will continue with weekly clocking inventory. The condition of the birds currently is very good. Majority of birds come home and just want to play around. Temperature has been a factor the last few weeks. We are in the 70's early morning and by 10:00 it's hot. Monsoon weather....ugly afternoons
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!
Please call with any questions or concerns.
We start road training in 10 days. Birds are still flown in 3 groups daily. Most birds are starting to clean up in their body molt. We have had some monsoon weather the last few weeks. Hot, humid, and cloudy. The clouds have been great. We usually get a offshore wind starting at 10:00. The birds love flying in the wind, along with the high clouds.
Predators are back, cooper, red shoulder and falcons daily.
Later part of the week, we will start the birds on their training program.
Please call with any questions.
We hope everyone is enjoying their summer. We are just a few weeks away until road training starts. We are currently exercising the birds in 3 groups. We started pushing 2 of the groups up. The last group needs a little more time for flights to be fully in. All birds are molting pretty heavy thus we dont like to push to hard to fly yet. Health is fair. Occasional eye cold is the norm.
The itinerary for the week of San Diego is complete. We should have that out next week.
We will start exercising the first 1000 birds this week. The remaining birds still need another 1-2 week for flights to be grown in. Weekly inventories will start this week. The health of the birds is fair. The moult is starting to kick in for most birds.
We wish everyone a wonderful safe July 4th weekend!!
Hope everyone had a great Father's Day. The California Classic is now closed. We are finishing up with pulling flights this week. The birds are doing well. Sickness has been minimal thus far. Majority of the birds are locked up currently to ensure the flights grow in properly. The last group will have flights pulled and will be shut down as well for a few weeks.
For those breeders coming for the races, you can lock in your room reservations now. With the room rate set at $ 99.00, the rooms will sell out fast. We will send out itinerary in a few weeks.
For reservations, go to home page and click on accomodations.
**For all participants in the race make sure you update correct information on wincompanion. Name, address, and email. We will send out itinerary via email.
We thank all the breeders who are part of the California Classic, Royal Cup and San Diego Holiday Cup. A week of racing where memories are made!!
This is our last week for receiving birds. We are in the process of cutting and pulling flights starting tomorrow. Most breeders that are missing birds have sent them in. For this coming week, we are only taking replacements, with the exception of those breeders who called in letting us know they were running late. Approx. 70% of the birds are dialed in and should be ok with avoiding health issues. The remaining babies will still be going through the settling stage and having to deal with typical young bird issues for the next few weeks before having flights pulled. Inventories will be on hold until all birds are fully flighted and are out for exercise.
Please call if you have any questions.
We hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend. The overall health of the birds is great. Losses off the loft have been minimal thus far. The Red Tail and Cooper Hawks are starting to come back this week making it a pain for settling new babies. We will be cutting and pulling flight for the next few weeks. The birds will be locked up until flights have grown in. It's usually 5 week period after flights are pulled for birds to be back in the air. We are finishing up our intake of birds next week.
We will be picking up birds this Saturday at Coco's. This will be our last pick up.

We have a few more weeks with receiving birds. Please check your inventory with the weeks to follow. It is usually a 2 week period before new birds are on the clock. Birds are currently being exercised 2-3 days a week. We have had some beautiful days but the winds have been strong through the valley. Red tail and Cooper hawks are back making settling a little more difficult.
We are picking up 2 more times in Brea. The dates are this Saturday May 21, and Saturday June 4th. The times will still be 8:30-9:00 a.m.

We are sorry to inform the passing of John Nemeth. John passed away yesterday early evening. I have known John for over 30 years. He has always been a gentleman. Within the sport of racing pigeons, he has been a superior breeder and one of the best in racing. John has accomplished so much with his huge victories in all the San Diego races. John continued to race until the very end. We will all miss you John!!!
We will be picking up this Saturday at the Coco's Bakery. Between 8:30-9:00
