Where to buy pigeons for dog training?

[Springer43]

I live in the Portland area and would like to buy some pigeons for dog training. Where does one go to buy pigeons cheap?

Craigslist or trap them yourself or call a trapping company and see if any sell. Best is to find someone willing to let you trap them so you.

Do you want homers for dry/non shooting or plan on shooting all???? If your going to shoot them I'd trap flying bridge rats.

I didn't see any on Craigslist. How does one go about trapping bridge pigeons?

Coastal Farm and Garden had birds for sale a while back, might want to give them a call.

I ended up buying a few from a guy in Damascus but I'm looking for a source where I can call and just drop by same day or the next day and buy a few every now and then to practice simulating fliers.

Your not going to find anyone that will sell them to you on a regular basis, most of the guys that trap them sell to the big dog trainers, and have conections, also it's not as easy as you think to trap these things. the going rate is about $3.00 a bird. good luck.
