as I read it harry, the come back race (ARNISTON) it states on our sheet of paper with pick up times ect that it does not count as in the fed averages, we in buckie have made it purely a club race amongst ourselves john
im surprised they even took the bird on the chopper. i keep and race doos and work offshore. have for 26 years. and the helicopter companies are sometimes funny about taking in racing pigeons!! god knows why. but if its a hawk. owl. even gannets n gulls. smaller migrating birds not a problem. ive asked the question why. and its because its a and i quote from a pilot" its a live animal" obviously other birds are not live. ive had that response from quite a few pilots over the years. i resorted to sending pigeons in on the standby & supply boats. im not saying they all refused but more times than not would not take them. john
