fieldcraft Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Been working out near goring for last week and on the way home yesterday coming over this valley you can see for miles, noticed a big gang of pigeons lift up off a rape field and in the distance noticed another two gangs about a mile apart also lifted at practicly the same time just thought it was weird seen it a few times recently wot makes separate gangs fly off at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstrider Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 They hear the Town Hall clock chime 6 o'clock and they know it's time to go home to bed ? Oh, no. That's teddy bears I'm thinking of Falling or changing light levels play a big part in it I'm sure, as does a change of the wind or a sudden 'smell of rain' on the wind. Reaction times in pigeon are notoriously quick. They all feel the change in conditions . one or two lift off because of it, and the rest follow suit immediately making it look to us as if they all took off together.
