how many pidgeons will it take to lift my jack russell and fly off .i have tried to tie string around the feet of three pidgeons and attach it to my dogs harness but all they do is flap i think it would be great to watch him take off and also he would probably enjoy the flight by the way i am using homing pidgeons so he will always come back!!

aha i can see where you're going wrong, it's not homing pigeons you need, it's carrier pigeon you want. As for coming home, just leave jack's collar on with his name and address, he could hitchhike the way back.

I love this page purely for the scientific logic to the questions asked.This particular subject is near to my heart.
Forget the pigeons, you need a Canadian Goose for this job. To save the goose taking him to Canada, you need to tie a 60 foot piece of rope or better still elastic, to its left leg. Although the goose is capable of lifting the Russell on its own, the flight for your dog will be much more enjoyable if you buy a Helium ballon kit from a cash and carry or the local Paki corner shop and strap twelve of these to the average sized russell. That way the dog and the goose can take a rest. My first experiment on this went horribly wrong for one simple reason. I didnt tape up the dogs mouth. He attacked the Gooses head in mid flight, killed it and the goose fell back to the ground 5 streets away from where i live, and believe me if your squirmish, its not a pretty site.As for my dog, I did tie one of those "if you find this" label to him, but so far nobody has got in contact. God i miss that dog..
Hope this helps...

Ha Ha you must live near me and you have seen my jack Russell being airlifted by my homing pigeons then eh? I use 15 of my strongest birds but the trick is to feed your birds sprouts! this gives them terrible wind but it helps with buoyancy! Alot of my neighbours have commented on this being cruel? if this is the case then why does my dog as soon as i let him out, go and sit patiently by the pigeon coup??

I would start training homing buzzards, they can lift a rabbit without any problems, I think you may need four, your dog should come back a lot lighter than when he went and wont need walking or feeding ever again.

probably three dozens of pigeons
12+12+12=48 pigeons to lift up your dog

I think learning how to spell pigeons might be a good start.

I'm not giving you any advice whatsoever. Someone tried to do that to me one time, and it wasn't fun.

The pigeon method doesn't work well. I use a boomerang for my Yorkies.
