will be for racing Bart, I am taking a few of this years young birds with me after the first couple of races are over , he already has a loft cleaner ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
good point lad ,but the 50s nature was left to fend for itself with no interferences we now have RSPB who breed and release them and were they are reared on pigeons which is a cheap way of rearing them so once they are out in the wild they only catch what they are used to eating ;)and thats a fact
when your y/b are doing that much flying chriss then there health is spot on and a credit to you in your case i would think that your losses are down to HAWKS more than health as with most of the losses when pigeons come home in 1/2 after exercising like the way you say yours have then its not down to the lack of fitness or brains
quite sure you will get a lot of takers there tam as know you have a few good pigeons especially as you had quite a few from the late Hugh Brown who was a top national flyer ,good luck tam in your new adventure;)

that not the place that cares for injured raptors and then releases them back into the wild
learn them to fly and home in the rain as well from short distances at least that way hawks wont gwet them the distance dont matter but consistancie does ;)i dont mean heavy rain showery stuff we get
