I sit here in my office looking out at the rain falling here on the farm, it has been a dry season and already the leaves are falling from the trees, the grass has turned brown and the pigeons are almost through the moult. 90% of the winter team have been outside for more than two months without the net and many of them once opened in morning actually fly up and circle the skies above the lofts.
The plan of action is to start capturing and fitting the ets rings onto the pigeons from Tuesday next week this will obviously take a few days to get finished and as soon as that is done the basket training will start. The pigeons will be loaded on a daily basis and liberated close to the lofts to get used to the procedure of getting loaded into the baskets and then liberated in small batches to fly back to the lofts. As in the past this will get them flying and circling as well. The new route down the N3 will again be used as it has been successful now for two seasons of racing and training. There will be training flights most days of the week and on weekends we will take a break and not do road trainings.
The vaccinations have been done and some preseason treatments are done already, I am happy with the current health of the pigeons but will take a few to Dr Piet van Zyl soon to have them tested and to follow his advice and recommendations once he assessed the pigeons.
To all the entrants the other fanciers the lovers and the critics I want to wish you all a good and successful season ahead in 2024! To all the other olr’s in South Africa wishing you the best for a good season ahead with good returns on the trainings as well as on the races!
Best of luck
Team Carnival

Good morning all please be so kind and send me the pedigree/s of your summer entries that completed the final race. I will publish a full list of pigeons back by Monday as well as we are getting back pigeons that did not go to the final as well and we had a few injured pigeons that were kept back also. I have collected some pigeons from the public as well that was reported after the final.
Mail your pedigrees to info@carnivalloft.co.za or flyrite@allflite.co.za
Kind regards Herman Carnival Lofts
