exactly what im trying to say ;D,, great fliers with the right management in knowing their own birds

if i can have my pennithworth budgie , i would say a very difficult question,, my veiw would be management would come first, ,, i,e if you were training the best distance in the world now, then every day, untill july,, this great bird would be finished well b4 the big one [i use this as an exaggerated sample],, by management i mean , obtaining the best long distance stock, breeding best to best, ridding the offspring rubbish by sensible racing/training, waiting until the birds you think are capable, are mature birds, then at two years old, setting them up for these long distance races, making sure [again by management] that the bird is conditioned to be in top form in july , by this time knowing its best nest condition, having the bird just casting its second flight,, with plenty fuel left in the bird for the job in hand i do believe there are pigeon fanciers that are better than others at genetics /breeding etc, some farmers seem to be good at this , but when you see the same fanciers year in, year out, on nat results,, sending very few birds, ,, these are the guys that can fit the jigsaw better than others, they seem to have a" pigeon second sense" ,,, mcormack of wynchburgh was one of this type, never off a nat result in something like 20 odd years,, without sending massive teams, jim sanderson [ a farmer]pathead, winning nantes [600 miles] twice , also second,, is another of many, over the last many years

yes its been unusually warmer of late, in fact temps to rise wed,, but i am only advising to be very wary ,, a couple of bad/hard toss can ruin yearlings for the year,, i find yearlings come into their best in the month of may,,many are lost b4 this,, but as they say,, make hay while the sunshines ,,, lets just hope it continues

the thread is on mods/admins private board for examination. as our p b rules state,,, if found by admin/webmaster to be suitable ,,,it will go back up,,, if found unsuitable will remain off locked

remember the old adage when the wind is in the east, its neither good to man nor beast the birds have a long rd in front of them,, my advice or my opinion,, is not to train this early,,, IF the birds are to last and win, later in the season,,,,,,,, patience is the game

a bit young yet ,, but one of the birds for help our heroes sale

i have did this b4 whilst sitting,, the reason was , i was late in getting the vaccine, although i was wary of this, at the time, i found it didnt do the birds any harm,,, they were mainly" just down on eggs"

i would say the cock should be ok at 8 years old ,, i have an eleven year old hen filling her eggs,,, i have given her selenium and zinc caps , now and again, whether it is this thats helping , i cant tell,, but it hasnt done any harm

usualy next day mac

think their both the same mac,,, just like panadol ,,paracetamal.. same thing,, different name

mike, ive apologized, im not saying your a bad person at all, quite the opposite if your keen on birds and animals , i wish you good luck

i apologize mick,, i did jump the gun, , sorry for that ,,, good luck to you, hope you find what you want

maybe ive jumped the gun a little mike,, but did note you kept falcons,, ,, but also raced pigeons :-/

hope their not for your falcons!!!!!!!
