Question
what should i do....with my pigeons,they r going to others loft spending time in there...how can i disciplined them for not going in there anymore?

Answer
You have to control them with food.  If you intend to just let them come and go as they please, eat when they want; you will not be able to fix it.  They need to be let out of the loft every day at the same time.  They should be out of food for a couple of hours before you let them out.  Depending on the breed and your intentions, amount of food may have to be regulated.  

You should be able to fine tune this program so that they stay out for the exact amount of time you want them to.  And this should reduce their time at the neighbors.  However, if the neighbors have free feed;  you may be in for a battle.
