no. he said if a bird escaped you would rubber remaining birds. then on arrival home they would still be clocked using the ets but then take the rubber to the club. fancier should be made aware that only rubbered pigeons are eligible to compete in the race.

would you like a male compamion for her?

THATS A GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT GERRY FRANCIS AS A CONTESTANT OR JACK DUCKWORTH OR EVEN DUNCAN FERGUSON? ON A BAD NOTE WHAT IF THE FLYER WAS VOTED OUT? HE;D HAVE 2 STAY ON EVEN IF BEHIND THE SCENES

Frank quinlan from leeds can get it probably. Private message me if you need further details. My best buddy had a bird through him 2 years ago. cost about £ 100 i think?

A BIRD IN SWEDEN FLEW 751 MILES ON DAY. MIND YOU THEY WHERE LIB @ 1.30AM AND THEY GOT LONGER DAYS THAN US!

Think you will find the number is actually 01443 441010 not 440101

my loft is not very deep so I relectantly have decided to let my 16 german boxes go. I will replace with the standard boxes as these german boxes are 2 ft deep. 4 lots of 4 2ft deep 5ft high 2ft wide. £cost over £600 2yrs ago. will accept £300 (may be able 2 sort delivery too)

Can anyone tell me who the above pigeon belonged too. It was found half eaten in my garden this morning. wing stamp was not entirely readable but was a mobile number it seemed.

BEST TIMES AROUND I THINK ARE AS FOLLOWS: MR&MRS G THOMAS (NAT SEC) TIME HEARD BETWEEN 4.29 TO 4.33PM CHARLIE+LES WILLIAMS 4.45 CLUB BIRD GILL BROS 4.43 OR 4.45 G BRYANT 4.57. ALL THESE TIMES ARE HEARSAY, SO MAY VARY!

Thanks .Just spoke sec now and he getting the owner to call me tonight.

J have had a bird in tonight rung SU07L 1981 can anyone let me know who she belongs too?

I CAN HELP POSSIBLY! WHERE YOU FROM ?

ive heard W A Rees and H Minnett are both in at 11:19 flying low 207miles and Adrian ware got one that should beat them both at either 11.18 or 11.20. I think 18 IS probably accurate judging by the source!

WELSH SOUTH EAST COMBINE UPDATING LIBLINE @8.30AM

Not many replies ? Anyone know if market fulletc ?

count me in! i will swap with anyone.

who won the national ?

EUROPA CLASSIC BY FAR THE BEST WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE WHOLE PACKAGE, SWOL RACE SEEMS A GOOD ONE TOO I THINK . I MAY TRY A FEW THIS YEAR!

reason 14 I have been wondering the same since I started keeping pigeons in 1980 and planned to find out after being asked everyday by friends and relatives "how do they know their way home?" well if you tell them the following answer and smile like you understand the whole thing the look at you amazed! here goes.... Assuming one rules out faster-than-light signalling, [this result] implies that once two particles have interacted with one another they remain linked in some way, effectively parts of the same indivisible system. This property of 'nonlocality' has sweeping implications. We can think of the Universe as a vast network of interacting particles, and each linkage binds the participating particles into a single quantum system . . . . Although in practice the complexity of the cosmos is too great for us to notice this subtle connectivity except in special experiments like those devised by Aspect, nevertheless there is a strong holistic flavour to the quantum description of the Universe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps the link between the pigeon and its home rests upon such nonlocal quantum phenomena. Perhaps it does not, but rather depends on some other kind of field or interconnection not yet recognized by physics. I simply leave this question open. Another way of formulating this idea of a connection between the pigeon and its home is throughthe concepts of modern dynamics. In mathematical models of dynamical systems, systems move within a field-space toward attractors. In these terms a homing pigeon could be modeled as a body moving within a vector-field toward the attractor, representing its home or goal. For the sake of simplicity, I shall take the crudest formulation of this idea, the metaphor of an invisible elastic band between the pigeon and its home. This connection gives pigeons a sense of direction, enabling them to find their way home even when they cannnot remember the outward journey, nor see landmarks, nor use a sun-compass, nor smell, nor detect the earth's magnetic field. It enables them to overcome the fiendish confusions imposed on them by experimenters, including releasing them in heavily overcast weather or at night, shifting their time sense, blocking their nostrils, confusing them with odors, fixing magnets to them, rotating and anaesthetizing them, blinding them with frosted-glass contact lenses, and cutting their nerves.
