This is a brilliant idea. We had the same and the birds never landed on the roof of the loft. 1. The trap board must be long enough to the front to inspire land confidence. 2. Coming from the training toss can be easier to land and in a race different as they can come from any direction and sometimes high 3. From my experience they need that extra length in the front 4. You can make it as an attachment and have a support to hold it up during racing season and then remove it after if you choose ... I said a vid on van lint's way he did it. Ours was one long trap board like yours however the depth was longer coming more forward. I can't remember if it was 1meter or so ... It was a while back now ...

I’m thinking that the small trees just in front of your loft is causing your birds to first land in a higher location especially considering the direction the birds circle they don’t have a full view of the landing board when approaching. I agree with others that any change will take some time for them to adjust.

My 2 cents on this: I think your original set up is fine and your birds trap already very fast based on what I've seen in your videos. Also when birds arrive in large group, it's hard for them to all land on the landing board due to the momentum. I'd prefer them to land on the loft roof and trap in right after instead of landing on the house roof and going down. However, when they arrive individually or in small group(a few birds) like in a race, they may be able to land directly on the landing board with or without railing you have there.

Sometimes changes spoil the enjoyment. Sometimes it's best to stick to how you always did it🤝

Forgot to let you know to remove the poles with the string just add picket fence on both sides of the loft then loop the string around the fence . String should be 1 foot off the roof

The picket white fence you have in front should stay, but add picket fencing on both sides. Tie string on each picket from side to side. At least 1 foot off the roof Don't try this with young birds till they learn the loft

I definitely wouldn’t do that. They are going to get injured. Use the roof as a big landing board. I think they will get hurt. Your original setup was fine I thought they trapped fast enough. I wouldn’t change the old setup.

Va trabajar pero el tiempo que vas a recuperar cuando paren en el landing board lo vas a perder cuando traten de bajar…se mira muy bien que paren en el landing board pero si pierden tiempo en el aire. Es lo que me pasa a mi. Suerte

They need to get use to it , it will work just give it some time .

I think they are in danger by pulling over the lines

Like 1, selamat sore Bosquu 🙏, 👌👍

Papa u did it wrong the other 2 fences should run across the side of the roof then run the tie the strings on fence across the roof

The old birds are used to landing on the roof it’s going to take awhile for them to overcome their old habits. Should work with the new youngsters.

Hermano tienes que tener dos o tres palomas en mano de esas que no vuelen y tirárselas para hay donde tienen que caer. Saludos

En cuba Holguin le ponemos ramas secas en el techo y poco apoco se educan

Mi hermano si voltiaras tu palomar tal vez seria mejor y mas facil para ellas aterrizar

Tienes que darle tiempo para que cambien la mentalidad.

Hola yo vivo en clifton New Jersey estoy haciendo un palomar aquí, en cuba yo volaba palomas y estoy empezando aquí ,me gustaría comunicarme contigo si vives en New Jersey o cerca para que me des algunos consejos te lo agradecería.

Ellas cojen el paso
