Today is day three, and their lesson is to go through the trap using just the love to return back into the loft. I'm using this method of modivation for trapping because, I want to teach the babies to return from a race not for food or water, but for a mate or me, anything that you notice even a habit that they picked up like defending a perch on the wall. In this case I have a space over the trap which only has room for one bird. When these pigeons are racing home, I've see them fight for least 5 minutes or more for it.
