Stay clear of keeping wild bird and only use these for shooting over a dog when you reach this stage of training. Wild birds can and will bring all kinds of disease into you Pigeon loft. P.S. worm your birds too! Dogs can get infected with worm and diseases of Pigeons if they ingest or come in contact with infected droppings.
