Race point needs moved to Newbury as in first inland national 1st 3 in the open were into the west the south and the east Lucky if the south clocks in an hour after the first birds which fly 40 mls further Just look at south and west velocities last few years only flying for section prizes Not at the Races it's a standing Joke .

Ask him if they won playing away from home last night Sure we did But suppose they did win the World Cup 47 Years Ago

Good Post .

Posted that Friday night Rab Stay of the Malt

They also said we would get humped at. Bannockburn

Andy it's blowing a north east gale here at present with heavy rain feels like January and with the same forecast tomorrow can't even imagine pigeons being away Atb mick

Set them by for next year they would only be homing at best no match for darkies at this time of year . Atb Mick

Many thanks will fetch it up to the sale on Sunday Anyone know what procedure is if birds race Sunday ?

Blue hen came high from the south and joined mine whilst out exercising tonight Has what looks like falcon injury to underside of wing but has healed over SU 13 L 4235 Heavy in moult nice wee doo

Have read the posts with envy ,sure this has had a massive bearing on your yb racing Well Done to all concerned

They cloned dolly the sheep Don't see a big problem for those with the know how to clone a ring ? Did van lint not say in his DVD that those systems were not used in the Far East as they would have it cracked in no time ,maybe I am wrong with that quote but sure something was mentioned .

I brought this subject up few months ago ,Irish were sitting at st Malo with 14 per basket ,we had 20 Viewing on web sites and magazine's of birds being watered and fed some trying to get over top of others when enlarged the photo's most ever counted being able to eat or drink at once was 7 , got backing from a convoyer who was with the birds and Derek said he would second it for me if put forward at agm ,very true what Davy said it never stops our winners but time we put our house in order omho

Nae chance of my misses getting here hands on mine when. It arrives Del ,she's working nights at the hospital this week and in her bed all day

Happy Birthday Young John

Got to agree with walter's point regarding total figure of losses ,if a true figure were published of every lofts losses throughout the uk the figure would be mind blowing I lost 17 from loft flying before training commenced ,I then took 2 weeks holidays to properly school the team which at that point was 103 perfectly healthy youngsters with loads of space in the loft which could have accommodated many more which is frightening for someone like myself who only used to purchase 30 rings for more years than I care to remember ,Had a terrible time with continued falcon strike's ,then our yb racing has been shocking for use of a better word ,I have now 34 in the loft many of which are outstanding ,Now no way were all the 86 which have failed to return been all rubbish ,I have worked hard with my stock over the years which I am sure many who have visited will vouch for ,These losses not only financially are shocking ,Club members with similar losses one who owns a fantastic team of pigeons has only had one at clock time the last 2 weeks ,our fed started first race with 2800 plus in the lorry this week 390 The vast majority Lost I have seen the uncontrolled rise in falcons since I first got real trouble with them in 1991 that's 22 years of unchecked breeding multiply that one ,Find it unbelievable each week reading the pigeon magazine and scribe 's blaming every thing but the falcon ,I know for a fact that when I raced them in the seventies very very rarely lost a good pigeon and was always left with at least 24 out of 30 raced yb's .

Yes correct Mick improper use and wrong dosage Should only be used when necessary I was told about the 2 very small drops onto the tongue of a very ill pigeon by who I regard as the most respected fancier in the uk and he was instructed of this by his very special friend wim peters enough said my friend I will continue to keep my birds in the best of health as I see fit and let others make there own decisions In the wrong hands a little knowledge is dangerous Ps the yb that I posted the picture of a few weeks back after nearly loosing its head to a falcon the vets did not expect it to survive after they stitched it together sent it home with my daughter with some baytril and it is flying with the others Atb mick
