Water, feed and a handful of grit and my birds are looking perfect. Anyone that sees them comment on their condition. Ive won in every show I entered this year lol. Ill give them treatment ONLY if and when they need it, I take samples several times through the year and unless they desperately need treatment, I leave them and let them get on with it. Whats wrong with most fanciers is they are frightened to NOT give them anything, try it and see how much money your wasting. Believe me, ive spent ( wasted ) plenty of money on all the fads and fancy potions and was convinced that they were responsible for my success. However, after a long discussion with a top fancier I was persuaded to give them nothing but the basics and to my surprise the pigeons flew as well, if not better. You wouldn't take medication for a headache unless you had a headache and this applies to treating pigeons also . Im gradually going back to the way it used to be, the main treatment for a sick pigeon is the spade. Im also of the opinion that your really top pigeons seldom get anything up with them that they cant shrug off themselves.

Happy bday lads

The Midland fed used to be great Peter but it was badly needing new leadership for many years, hence the loss of membership.

Happy bday lads

if you've only got one then its too few Tony

space is paramount for most living creatures if you want to maintain health and well being. You should never smell a pigeon loft but more importantly, a pigeon itself should smell good. My son smells every pigeon he handles, its an indication of health.

Happy bday J

Not a red kite Bill.

HAAHAHA Ive tried lads its an MP4 file and not uploading, all I know the bird had tags on its wings with numbers on them. It was dragging a rabbit at the side of the road.

I have 4 2012 stock birds that I started racing last year as 3 yr olds. Two of them flew out to 280 mls and the other 2 to 230 mls, no probs. I remember the late Jack McGougan telling me he sometimes kept pigeons until 2yr old before training/racing. He reckoned they had homed in a lot better at that age and he scored well with them.

Get yer kids into the doos and stop yer pi sh lol

Thanks to everyone for the congrats lol, got my trophy and cheque today ( this will go to local autistic school )
