Cabelas and maybe wholesale sport sells them but you need to use scent they are pretty dry. I'd get some pigeons should be able to trap some where you are

x2 on the pigeon wings. When we used to train our labs for trials and hunting, we used the wings at first, and then the whole bird. I would use a flashlight and catch them by hand along the rafters and beams in warehouses. It actually was so much fun that I would catch enough for others training as well.

As kids we did the same thing in the hay barns, glad to see someone else has done it.
