VISITED SITE & LIT A CANDLE .....THINKING OF YOU AT THIS SAD TIME

nice birds ,liked the damascenes ...........

some of the members ---- Tammy 1 & Chrissy ------along with making the pilgrimage to blackpool,are also showing some thier birds ......so GOOD LUCK ...to you both .........safe journey there & back tam make sure you got deep pockets ;D ;D

agree there ,only takes day /so for them to get used to it & once 1 eats it others follow suit.........can highly recommend it ,i have used it for years all year round mixed in (sparingly )with daily feed .....

this is true,even had to remind her who's turn it was for the brews ( hers ) ;D ;D ;D talking cuppa prefer it no sugar ,strong & dark ( just like my women) dark that is ;D ;D ;D

yes ,but you tried to maim me :'(,...was an accident ,but still think they're a ?? :X

will be giving blackpool a go next year tam ( so the odd beverage is on you then,get saving ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

cheers tam, yes i did put my size 10 in it , ,but did'nt prevent chrissy from taking best racer with a cracking gay blue pied delbar x krauth cock ( yb order been placed) " WELL DONE CHRISSY " also like to add i had the pleasure in assisting chrissy judge the show racers,top prize went to a storming silver mealy cock ,handled like a dream & top condition splitting hairs tho over best young s/r ,was between 2 silver mealy s, cock & hen ,the hen got the best young s/r ( had the edge condition wise ) turned out all 3, birds belonged to same person & the y/bS where of the adult cock bird ( so that must say something )

he's on steph's new site " pigeons4u",was chatting with him on there other day... not shown as logged on tonight tho.............

could be a lavender bar & the reason i say that is because i had a lavender ( show racer cock ) that was barred ....but not that well up on lahores colour standards

have used tobacco stalks for No. years ,i find them excellent & as jimmy says no nasties to be found......last year also used shredded paper with tobacco stalks & that semed to work well also ............also put a beermat dipped in creosote ( alowed to dry) underneath nest bowl ............act as a " nastie" deterrent

cheers tam,

jeez tam,thats sum photo!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D,ticked the box anyhow ,a pint you owe me ...........

thanks for warning ,appreciated..

got my vote tam," no wonder you're smilin"

it's No.1 for me ,the outfit works for me.

totally agree with -dovescot-,exellent example to pigeon fancying by steph & well done " grit & tenacity", i will definetly join,tried few times already but still getting error ,but will persevere.... all should back her up & show encouragement to an up & coming young fancier .............

darknight don't PACK UP', there are ways /means round everything, i started by dividing garden shed in 1/2 ,1 side for birds ,other side for tools etc ..........birds where fine . there was a scribe in the bhw ....who flew his birds to individual rabbit hutch set up , admittedly was to elimante aggravating chest complaint ..so didnt have to enter a loft .. known people fly to boxes on flat balconys ...........STICK IN THERE ............

totally agree coal dust is full minerals,used to be a favourite years ago as source minerals ,well before ,they started producing the black minerals etc .... yes true about pregnant women eating coal ....wife did ,but kids are ??... ;D ;D ;D

definetely a gazzi modena ( poss, sulphur laced ) or ochre .., they are fine in a section just containing modenas ,have had them & reeked havoc now history....some modena fanciers use single breeding pens for each pair ..( nice if got space )........

started with pigeons since age 5,been involved with them since 50yrs now,started with my gt g/father who had shorts (milers) ,which never hear of now...then had the usual assortment birds ( all for colours)...since have raced ( individually & in partnership),shown ,fancy & flying breeds,still very much into showing aspect,but this year also returning to racing side with my 7 yrs g/son who is made keen,(strongly feel youngster need encouragement in a great pastime which is sadly declining + gets them away from computer games )........as said been involved for 50yrs & still learning about them .......... dave & lil jd
