I have pigeons that are raced from Italy to Malta, but altough most of them home, they are not doing it fast. Basicly our races are up to 300 km(short distance) and up to 630 km (long distance). In short distance races there is approximately 100 km sea, and it will be more for the long distance races. Can you please suggest what can I do to improve the performance of my pigeons especially in the short distance races? Thanks, Keith from Malta.

Make short separate privat training races from max 20km the day of basketting, that gives the pigeons more confidence for the start of the next race.
Racing with pigeons = apostate race
