Larry, ever pigeon has it's place in the team, when you pull or add birds it disrupts the entire make-up of the team until they re-organize.
As for a trigger bird, I don't know what that is within my teams ,no single bird has ever played a part that I am aware of, the biggest thing in not having a strong stiffs leading the team.

Just my Opinion

Hey Scott,
Come on bud, you and I both know that the reason you have never identified a trigger bird in your kits, is because every bird in your kit looks the same and you can't tell them apart! LMAO.

I agree with Scott that rarely is one bird the key bird that triggers your kit. The key to flying a great team of rollers is to be able to keep a good team together as long as possible. Each bird has it's place in a kit and when they all know each other and their place then you have excellent kit chemistry. Every time you add or take away it changes that chemistry. Of course when you have a better bird to replace a member of that team then you work it in. But not a good idea to do so right before a big fly because you don't know how you are disrupting that chemistry. I believe this is a big part of the recent success shown by the South African fliers in the WC. Hannes told me that most of his team has been put together for about 5 years. I envy him being able to keep a team together that long. Being able to refly your breeders with little fear of losing them to BOP's must be nice! But I live in Vegas where I have a good job and my family, so I deal with the BOP's that too many of us face. Lost 9 birds out of my A team getting ready for WC regional and another took the day I flew. Big price to pay to qualify but I fly birds to compete so have to pay the price. I believe a single bird that turns the kit or goes to the lead and sails or whatever bad habit has more influence on the team- though negative- then a single bird that stays to the front of the kit and rolls on every break. But some have told me that they have a trigger bird in their kit so I can't say it doesn't exist. I just haven't experienced it at this time. Enjoy your next fly!
