Hi, i got the camera model wrong, the camera i used was aFuji finepix S5600 with the macro on. Regards Dave

Thanks for the suggestions. I am not really into eye sign myself but it is another angle to try. The hen is off Toey's fantastic and Reflection bread by Tony Mardon. I thought they may me a good pairing! Regards Dave Ps The camera is a Fugi 9500 5 mp

Does anyone think that this hen’s eye would match the cock’s eye above for breeding?

Thanks for the comments, I got him to breed off he’s 9 years old and only ever been stock. His dam is Playgirl and he sire is a full brother to Toyboy and he is breed by Bert Hession. Thanks also for the comments on the photo’s it’s my first attempt. Regards Dave

Please can anyone with experience in pigeon eye sign let me know if this is a breeding eye, racing eye etc. Thanks Dave

Thats what i was thinking Regards Dave

Hi, i was looking for pigeon related stuff today and found this. Thought it was funny. No wonder we have the image we have! http://www.uniquepropertycompany.co.uk/blog/?p=190 Regards Dave

Thanks for the reply's The ring was cut off a long time ago. It may have have just knocked it. Just to explain i have not seen the bird's leg myself sinse it has swollen as it's at my Dads loft and he just asked me to ask for ideas to take down the swelling and wondered if they my be a conection as the ring had been cut off before. Regards Dave

Any ideas, in good health and condition cock bird has one swollen leg. It is the leg that had the life ring on, the ring has previously been removed because of swollen leg before the bird came to us. Also any ideas on how to take the swelling down? I can not supply any photos as the bird is not at my loft. Regards Dave

Now this might stir up a few emotions/reactions. After posting this message within a few minuets it’s plain to see there are a lot of professional people out there passionate about pigeons. With all this expertise in the sport why is it that the sport of pigeon racing in decline. Seems to me that the sport is not being promoted and marketed to fulfil its puritanical. I have come back to pigeon racing after 30 years and very little has changed. If the sport was promoted properly playing to its strengths i.e. patron Queen, on Coronation Street, charity work and the gambling/money side of the sport to name but a few, maybe it would have some clout to address the things like birds of prey and encouraging younger people to get involved. To me it’s like anything you can be the best, have the hobby, do the best work but if no one knows about it it becomes futile to encourage growth and change perceptions. My opinion would be that the sport needs to employ some one not necessarily in pigeons but some one who would get out there and promote pigeon racing to raise its profile. NB. That was sharp Old yellow but I am afraid that the gritting of the roads is not my department but it was funny!

Nothing wrong with flat caps my Dad always wears one. (by the why I am the little one a long time ago) Thanks for all the responses it give me some more examples

The other day whilst at work in a conversation I mentioned I kept racing pigeons. Their reaction was pigeons and you know when you get that look of people as if to say are you daft! Anyway I found myself as usual defending the sport by saying the Queen keeps them you know and lots of people do. With them replying isn’t it just old men with flat caps and whippets? I replied saying no there are all sorts of people from all walks of society that keep pigeons . So I thought it would be interesting to see what professions pigeon men/persons were on here. I will start I am a service manager for the local authority

Thanks everyone for your help. Downloaded the recomended software, it works a treat Regards Dave

Thanks Ally Mac i will try your sugestion. Regards Dave

Thanks for your help. I 'll try searching Google for the software/drivers Regards Dave

Thanks that sounds right. Any idea which software? Regards Dave

The software says it works with Vista but does give an example of how if there are problems of rectifying it. But that does not work as i have tried it. It seems to be the same old problem with Vista compatabilty! Regards Dave

How do you link the Mikrokular with the photomiser software using Vista. They both install correctly but will not link whilst trying to use Biolux AL microscope? Thanks in advance Regards Dave

Thanks demolition man Regards Dave

Really surprised! But very pleased There were a lot of good looking hens in the class Well done to the other winners Regards Dave

The anticipation whilst waiting for your birds to come home from the race and watching the flocks from other groups going over and also trying to spot one of yours as early as possible. It’s just magic.

Thanks Susan, ps. i did not win! Regards Dave
