I also just whistle. I also shake the feed can while I whistle. You will find that with a correct feeding regiment that the whistle is quite effective. If you overfeed you can whistle all day and they will sit and look at you like you are a fool. Yesterday for instance, I flew my birds in the AM. I had 22 birds trap in about 20 seconds. They were in the trap before I had a chance to whistle. I overfed them a bit in the AM and had to leave before they were finished, leaving food in the hopper. When I flew them in the PM it took them about 5 minutes to trap, and my pucker was whistled out. I start shaking and whistling while the birds are in the nest. They soon get the picture. By the time I move them to the fly loft they know what it is all about. I think a good feeding regiment of twice a day, all they can clean up in about 5 minutes, late trappers get little if any, works well. There is many of times when they land and go straight in the trap, before I get the food out, with no chance to whistle. The whistle does work though. I have called them in off the neighbors roof with the can shake and whistle. It is great for training the first few times they are out. You can also call them in out of the air, if you spot a hawk or a strom is comming.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim

The Alexander Hansenne is indeed a remarkable Racing Pigeon Strain. Dr Willaim Anderson in his book "The Sport of Racing Pigeons" 1947 writes extensively about this outstanding Fancier. I luck to have an original copy of the book. Need i say i myself have of the Bronze chequers in my stock loft Well wishes to you
