Just my opinion ,I feel the birds are being cared for to a very high standard They are returning home in the same condition as they are sent the cocks that were home in good time Saturday flew for an hour plus this morning and longer tonight as fresh as paint My Bugbear is and has been for years Numbers in baskets What the difference 20 sitting in high temperatures in France And 22 having to sit in the same high temperatures in England Crazy Crazy Rules passed by Pigeon Men The absolute fortunes we spend on pigeons and we fail miserably with the basics Whether it be inland or channel the rule should be 16 max If it costs a £1 more so be it ,anyone with a gripe with that give them up By Law water should have to be provided on three sides ,the same would apply to feeding I'll gladly put a proposal in for 16 max if someone is willing to second it The convoyers are doing a wonderful job its not their fault if birds cant access water because of numbers As I stated just my democratic opinion Atb Mick
