       more activity)

       Personally, I think it is a combination of both temp and
       relative humidity. Hot humid weather is a killer for birds to
       fly in just like it is for you or I to exercise in. The heavier
       air wears them down quickly and they return to the roof with
       their wings drooping and panting for air. Warm dry days are less
       taxing but the heat still wears them out.
       Keep em spinning

       well my ----guess is humdity can wear me down with sweat short
       order, doesnt matter about sweat glads to me.. Just down right
       miserable. Don't know the importance relivent to what but 74% or
       better starts me getting uncomfortable. I  read where pigeons
       have some kind of glands for helping to be cool I don't know, I
       do know when the air is crisp and cool, they seem to fly much
       better. seems that would be important in my view as to my ideal
       fly. No enjoyment on the flip side of that, As far as important?
       For what/? I'd like to Stay in the house where its cool,  hey
       hey  hey  chesley !!!!!

       I have noticed when the skies are rainy and cloudy the birds
       kick ass more than on any other kind of day. Maybe its the
       English weather similarity in their ancient memories... :o
