A LEGEND IN HIS OWN LIFETIME EVEN DOWN HERE IN SOUTH WALES. Well i know of you anyway Jim, Top man..

you could try ACIDOPHILUS tabs from the health shop,they have millions of good bacteria, used to use live yoghurt in a syringe straight down the throat for e-coli,used to do a good job..

If you want to come bang up to date then WONDER PIGEON is the flavour of the month,i see in this weeks BHW that mark gilbert is recommending it,i was watching the belgian nationals live on PIPA radar last year and some of those big winners were using it,it not all that cheap and i have not used it myself but it is something to have a think over because those guys and gals i have mentioned are top of the tree... ^_^

always used it, it won,t stop you winning,thats for sure,good after meds.as well,always on the corn..made my own at one time,brewers yeast,natural live yoghurt,vit.min.supplement,and some gin which preserves the mix..it was ok.much cheaper and provided the same sort of thing,basically for those that like the D.I.Y.method and there are is no shortage of fanciers who like to do that..whether it was 100% as good couldn,t say but there you go.that,s it folks,byeee.

went to norman,s clearance sale yesterday,he died a couple of weeks ago as reported on here by Robbie 4.sat with mick docherty,his brother,who had been looking after the birds,top showman norman as some of you will know,sale was held in the millenium hall,GARNDIFFAITH,yes my scottish friends that is one for you to get your tongues around it is just a couple of miles down the road from BIG PIT Blaenavon..there were about 30 people there i spoke to fanciers from yorkshire,cornwall,london,plenty of s.wales guys as well.the birds sold well,highest £325 big winner a red pied coock,blacpool class 3 winner silver mealy hen £200,all big show winners around £200.so all in all a good send off to a nice guy and a brilliant fancier,showing and also from lerwick 600 miles etc,racing..hope you liked thi post,thought i,d give you details of my sunday ATB... 72 Birds

taffy was one in a million,a great public speaker,he was a true legend in the fancy in s wales,he was the ambassoder to the fci.he met the king of belgium who was also a fancier and made a big impression on him,the king presented him with a pair of birds,may have been roger timmermans blood,rings a bell with me. i used to go over to the rhonnda valley to ferndale every tuesday night to a pub where taffy would hold court every week,it always was a fantastic night with his stories and sayings,he would always bring some of his cattrysse birds by public demand,also delbars,and last but not least royal belgian blood,epic i can tell you,if i could have one wish for any of you reading this now it would be that you could go to one of those evenings,never to be forgotten. well that is my blast from the past,hope you enjoyed it..

i am on this video,one of the magnificent seven,happy days,alan bayliss did a lot of good work for the fancy,also for charity, a brilliant auctioneer as well..

will be missed in show racing society..R.i.P. Norman

early part of the season,yb.no maize until tuesday am. then pm. gerry plus with maize and a little hemp rest of the week..cold weather needs protein..no doubt there are many other menu,s. thats my starter for ten..

1 day or middle distance,see pigeons returning to blue heaven lofts on youtube...

top man mick,he is the spitting image of kenny dalgleish,you won,t go far wrong there m8..

had an attack 2 weeks ago by a male goshawk ,it went crazy after birds,caught a latebred, managed to chase it off,picked up the l/b,went back up to the loft and the vermin had caught our best channel bird last year and eaten the back of its neck,never thought he would survive but he has so lucky i suppose ,the next day i looked out of the window and saw a female goshawk on the trap trying to get in..about 1 metre long from head to tail.frightning to say the least,birds haven,t been out since,,,.

they have an interesting year book.i don,t know if you can get one from pam grange,we had one afew years ago when we were race controllers here in s.wales...

my birthday today also, 67,had card and cake ,blew candle out and had a wish not letting out what the wish was other than it contained the number 68..

had a harris hawk exploring every nook and cranny a couple of months ago, quite an enlightning experience,you,ve got to make sure all possible entry points are wired...

where there,s muck there,s brass..

make sure your hens are sitting and/or yb,s for the national races,they will hold the moult back well,otherwise you may have to have lights on until 10.30 every night after they come off darkness to limit the number of dark hours...motivation also... :drinking-coffee-200:
