-For those pigeon fanciers that fly their pigeons (not all pigeon fanciers allow their pigeons to fly freely outside of their aviary) the pigeons need a means of egress to the loft.  A trap or at least bobs and landing board allows the pigeon to get back into their home when they are ready to do so. There are different variations of trap and bobs used. Racing pigeons are commonly trapped home using a bob wired trapping arrangement that the birds push against the bob wires to gain access, but are restricted by the wires when trying to get back outside. Another form of trap typically called a ''Sputnik trap'' (pictured) uses an openings set on an angle which are just wide enough for one bird to gain access by dropping through into the loft.

 === Flypen === <!--T:8-->
-Sometimes pigeon fanciers cannot allow their birds complete liberty due to complaints of neighbors or the presence of raptors.  However, pigeons have much better health and seem to be in much better spirits when they're given room to fly.  So most fanciers, including those that let their birds fly, will build a large enclosed area free of obstacles where the pigeons can fly as freely as they wish.  This is usually referred to as a flypen.

 === Perches === <!--T:10-->
-Again, pigeon fanciers will often provide their birds (both mated and unmated pigeons) with more perches than the birds need.  Because pigeons are also quite territorial about their perch it is best to insure that every pigeon in the loft has lots of places to perch.

-Pigeon fanciers often have their pigeon lofts in suitably modified garden sheds. In Glasgow and other areas of Scotland there has been a tradition of pigeon keepers building their own freestanding urban pigeon lofts, or doocots, standing about 4m high in areas of waste ground close to housing estates.  In New York City, pigeon fanciers often build pigeon lofts on the roof of the building.

 Flight feathers (Pennae volatus) are the long, stiff, asymmetrically shaped, but symmetrically paired pennaceous feathers on the wings or tail of a bird; those on the wings are called remiges (singular remex) while those on the tail are called rectrices (singular rectrix). Their primary function is to aid in the generation of both thrust and lift, thereby enabling flight.

 Molting is the process of renewing the feathers. A poor molt results in the bird not having good feathers which can adversely impact flight and racing performance. 'You may want to replace birds that do not have a good molt on your racing team and not use them for breeding.
