Step 2: Phase Training Method – Complete Preparation for the Sea
- Loft Familiarization and Around-the-Loft Flying: Starts around 25-30 days old.
- Short-Distance Training (5-50 km): Starts around 2-3 months old.
- Medium/Long Distance and Coastal Training (50-100 km): Once young birds return consistently, begin coastal fixed-point training. Release pigeons from the coastline to teach them "water recognition." Also start simulated race basket training to acclimate them to transport stress.
- Simulated Sea Training and Distance Jumps: Before official races, organize short sea training. "Jump training" (e.g., directly from 100 km to 150 km) can test stamina.
