Shortly I am 65 years old & been racing pigeons sense I'm 21 years of age. I have never seen pigeon losses like I've been seein the past 5 years or so. The weather can be perfect at the release with no other combines in the area and we still get poor returns week after week. Not just me, most of the combine.

I used to have foolishly racing pigeons years ago, & black tumblers.

..& some black & brown pigeons, but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called. I think they had black tail and wings and a reddish brown head/chest (maybe theire underbelly was brown too).
They had a top knot on their heads too. I think the name arch angel rings a bell.

She is reluctantly flighted and goes about with me everywhere in Taiwan up the mountains and forest and about everywhere. She wears a harness and leash to my design that perhaps you may find useful too. She comes out aimlessly riding with me on my motorbike.

The details of that harness and the training we did together are in her web page.
