well done

bang on about the tienverbond the Germans have a path worn to the best flyers in the tienverbond and these on the main are smart pigeon men other things to take into into consideration fanciers living in the golden mile fanciers racing against week competition or racing into a club etc where there a large number of fanciers who set there birds up for the longer races amount of birds sent you have some fanciers now in belg who will go home from there club and get there long distance birds to make up birdage so they can compete for points for competitions sometimes the best bird may be well down the result due to location also ask can you replicate the lofts off where your buying do the lofts have mechanical ventilation and the likes will these birds preform similar in your own lofts

dont know about the weather but there a thread on here a lot experienced bad losses

in fairness racing mid and long distance on a lot of occasions the birds will hit bad weather somewhere on route with the weather we have in this part of the world but i cant see any good race controller sending 100s of birds into weather which is impossible to fly in joint convoying is done all over Europe these days as it boils down to money and it makes sense not to have 2 half filled lorries going to the one area in the future this will have to happen a lot more as you only have to look at the average age of members in the sport as the costs are high on long distance racing and it seems a lot of the younger generation are more sprint minded there will be no choice i believe that the only way long distance racing will be viable due to costs is that organisations convoy together at the end of the day the most money possible should be going back to the fanciers not on fuel costs etc also looking at the split i know very little about the split how it was caused or why it happened but you only have to look at the north of Ireland they all flew together though the troubles and i believe if the pigeon game survived though all of that and is still going strong there is always hope that any split can be fixed

bang on there shouldn't be any damp patches

i would imagine any good race controller would cater for all the birds on the lorry

dont go mad cleaning up the place the morning of the race they like to see things just as they were can cause a bad trap

we are currently looking into doing a pigeon basics hall of fame where a handful of birds with top performances and top team performances are picked for the year should help promote top fanicers and top birds in a small way

great photo

rodents mostly

vey true i also find though that real high levels of canker/ yeast a lot of time is a secondary infection and should be treated for canker anyway although this should be done after the treatment if a treatment is needed a pic of the droppings i could make a educated guess but that all it would be a guess also hearing a lot of ecoli infections in the last 2 months

e coli infection broad antibiotic should do the job but id be getting my birds tested probiotic should help too also check for rodents in around loft and where you keep your grub

agree
