Sounds ok to me I would give the man a gold watch etc. Before !!!!!!!! I sent him on his way, up the political ladder for being such a genius . Enjoy.

I was just about to give up hope here . Then I found a man who like me is into recycling etc "Organic waste bin" a bit of pigeon sh** mixed in there at the end of the day helps the enviroment, the way I see things. Enjoy.

Very true !!!!!!! One could say, 10 out of 10 etc Enjoy.

Nice trailer maybe ??????? but just too damm high etc. Would be a nightmare to tow in my view, especially if you were doing some distance type of thing. I've seen many units/trailers like that one etc & the best of them are long & low even when they carry up to 3000 birds. Enjoy.

So !!!!!!!!, that's experience talking is it & one could presume etc ??????? you have tried both. Enjoy.

Strange that Roland, but history tells us so "Unfortunately". Enjoy.

Same here !!!!!!!! One could say !!! terminated by the terminator, for what I read. Someone/somewhere ???? being a naughty boy I suspect. Enjoy.

Way to go Ovy One could say !!!!!!!!! a man who has seen the light/future. Enjoy.

Real touchy subject this one Ghostrider etc I'm afraid. I don't really understand why it is so type of thing. The best thing I could say on your behalf is, at least you have half a brain & fully understand the many benefits of using the Electronic clocking system I suspect. Enjoy.

Nice to see a common sense reply Wiley etc.So many these days give them scraps "Light feed" when they return type of thing. I've never been able to understand their thinking. Enjoy.

Trust a woman to tell it in simple terms etc. Enjoy.

No !!!!!!!!!!. But I would love the opportunity to have a free choice type of thing there. That being said, not in a million years would I take a punt, on what or may not turn up in a box by a courier etc. Enjoy.

Very true !!!!!!! & they have been doing it for 50 odd years that I know of etc. Training is the key !!!!!! & it helps if you have many birds to play with at the start. The best of the night flyers etc, take to it like a duck in water.

Wise words !!!!!!!!

Sad news Brian, when I just read about you unfortunately leaving the sport here (A blast from the past ). You have been a credit to this site etc without a doubt in my view. Fortunately that side of things will continue. So all is not lost. Enjoy

A bit behind the times but true, to simple for some ????????? in this day & age etc. But !!!!!!! it has always been my theory/way on how to do things. Enjoy.

Thanks IB, I can understand the size differance etc that's well within my brain capability. Unfortunately !!!!!!! that's where it all stops & the rest is way above my head, "Sadly". Enjoy.

Interesting read IB. Thou !!!!!!! I have a concern in relation to living organisms versus the dead ones etc. For what I have read, living ones are much preffered over the dead so to speak, thou I do not understand why this is so. Also for human use in capsule form, I can buy ones with 2 billion "Good bugs" in them or up to 100 billion. In relation to the pigeons they talk in millions for some reason in the few probiotics that I have seen for sale here. All very confusing at least to me unfortunately. Enjoy.

Is it ever "Such is life" add me to your clan thou A fit healthy pigeon should have no trouble flying 100/130 miles first off. Here at the moment, I know blokes that have missed the first 4 races & are starting off at 250 miles etc. Head wind !!!!!! cold & snow in the hills is the forecast for Saturday & I'm talking about babies etc. Enjoy.

Not all that big on probiotics, I have them on deep litter & I'm happy with that. One thing thou, I've seen it advertized on tv etc here, that one small capsule (human dose) has 22 times more good bugs in them than a tub of yogurt "Interesting" I think. Enjoy.

So do I fresh & cheap one could say, 2/3 times a week like clockwork. I also have the freezer full, with lemon ice blocks for when they are not in season etc. Enjoy.

Not much etc, just try & keep away from the missus & still be breathing at the end of the day. Enjoy.

Walter !!!!!! one can only do what one can do type of thing.Pigeons learn to adapt to any type of system/method I believe if they have 1/2 brain etc.Old age/health can be a real killer at times sadly, that's where friends come in handy "Let them do the training" & you then can just sit back & enjoy what ever pace your able to set yourself. Even in the worst case, if you are no longer able to race etc, great pleasure can be had by just having the birds in the back yard as far as I'm concerned.

How very true !!!! & we don't have to look to hard to find the odd falcon or two either. Enjoy.

I wish you well (first race) 43 miles !!!!!!!!! I could walk that far . Enjoy
