I have trouble moving them on old or young lol :lol: :lol:
I'm afraid I am a "Pigeon Fancier" and love all my birds, good or bad !!
Yes I do have to bite the bullet and move some on but it doesn't happen often, if a pigeon has served me well and has been with me a while then in my opinion its earned its perch and can live out its retirement.

I'm afraid I never had an ounce of trouble

If I bird was good to me it was treated with respect and it wanted for nothing. It was treated like royalty - the best of everything.

The moment that wasn't the case, something else had the box instead

To progress in a competitive world its the only way
