You have turkeys that sprint glad im not there around Christmas i aint running to catch me dinner hehehe

Its only my own thinking but Warley must be the place you have Bobby Walton Gary Downing around there n god they can fly

well i just hope some one over the golden mile buys mine i mite stand a chance then

Its a big race over here bab you can buy 20 normal rings then the futurity rings on top then boost them up to fly for a car but they pay a good deal out.Mike might know more as the first time ive entered.

Well had my ring come this morning just wondered how many others from the site are having a go this year

Black country /Wolvo /gloucester feds all have a alternative programe set up goin down the dog leg but im not sure about the worcester fed or the mcc

No they were at our fed meeting with me mate Bill n the Coopers from Cooper and Mitchel i only chatted to them for 5 mins n talked about o few of there friends i know Joey mario 101 n spedoto

As we all know pigeon racing is no longer a young mans (or womens) sport and we need the kids to show interest or the sport could die out. With that in mind, the last few week might interest any flyers that have young children a digital camera and 10 minutes every few days. My daughter Catherine (age 6) is interested in the birds; just helping out here and there and playing with the young in the nest, so when this years young began to chip it was no suprise when she said "can i take a shell to school for show and tell?". So on the Friday, off she went with shell in hand. Over the weekend I was told how many of the children were interested in what the chick looked like so for a quiet life, camera in hand, off to the loft I went; 2 pictures of the parents and 2 of the chicks. After a converation with the teacher I am now updating the pictures weekly and rung the squabs for the Lye and District ring race with the class running a project following the birds life to the race and even a class competition to name the birds. How simple can it be? A few pictures, a nest bowl with tobacco stalks in, a pot with corn and a few old rings and now I get mobbed on a Monday morning by 55 children wanting to know what is new with the birds. I just hope this might give 1 or 2 more dads the idea too, for over your kids school, who knows if we plant the idea in their heads, in years to come they may start up themselves.

were 2 of your mates called Mario if so i met them last night

Isnt the best idea just give the channel neck for 1 season and let the bird flu clear. I would say if Mike Lycett says it then its set in stone thats its right.

white is resessive to all other colours but comes out as a double factore now your gettin in to genetics in a deep way

bewter can u post some pics of ya german shield owls,always wanted a pair of them

Ok my thing this i use to breed mutation Gouldian finchs n in a nut shell there are 100s of variations on colours in all birds but the genetic make up is based on like you say a certain amout of base colours of pigeons . the variations come from the differant combinations of the of these bases and weather they are a dominant or recesive gene. Say you have 2 colours to make it easy A and B, birds produced would be A recesive b or B recesice also that gives you AA BBso from 2 birds you now have 4 colour make ups already and each differate combination has a new colour emergin. A to B =AA BB Ab Ba possible pairings A to AA A to BB A to Ab A to BA the same combinations are on the B side so from 2 colours u have 8 combinations already and thats where you get the colours from. Mind it did take me 7 years to produce a silver Gouldian but i do use genetics in me breeding of racers and touch wood its working. Hope i havent confused you more

Maverick are your m8 coming down to the Midlands after the show as my m8 has 3 stopping with him till Wednesday

Well from that it dont look like it could make the mcc n nationals interesting

Dont know what council your under but my misses works in the I.T department of ours so ive rung here to see what the council is saying .They dont know any thing about locking birds up or locating birds in avariys

Any one heard any thing about the channel racing 2006 as we were told by a club member the Welsh fed had a meeting and its all cancelled might just be a rumour though any one know

no there aint a north rd fed down brum but we do have 7 or 8 south rd ones

What fed are you goin to be racing in westy south birmingham ???

Always Always send to the first young bird race u can bet as much as you like the first week the birds sent are ready and trained up the second and third you get birds thrown in as the races are getting longer. So i think the first race is the safe option

Best day for me was in 2004 young bird left my best mate clocking the birds in as i had to give my sister away at her wedding sneaked back to get out of the monkey suit they had got me in and just happened to nip in the club to see how i had done . Took the first 5 in the club and all 5 in the top 20 of the fed so i had a great night

Greens about due again

yes they were sold
