a ft long plankof wood on a hinge,,6ins inside the loft 6ins outside ,,with a lead weight under the end of the inside part ,, so that the outside part would take the weight of the pigeon, but anything heavier i,e, a cat, this would close

in my opinion a yb well trained and raced up to 100 miles without any ill effect will be as good an ob as any of them [further if you want less ob,s ;D] just to give an example i know a chap who didn't race yb,s at all but gave them 10= 55 mile tosses every three days all on good days ,, this" man cleaned up" the folowing year ;D

very difficult to say without seeing the bird ,, this is really just a guess, birds that have had paramyxovirus and came through it are usually left with some sort of impediment ,, much the same with paratyphoid [salmonella] not usually good to breed from,,,,,,off course it may have nothing to do with this at all , so maybe best advice would be good avian vet,,,, its possible the bird has been hurt in some way , sometimes bruising on the wing takes a while to heal

no, thats how i use my loaf ;D ;D ;D

this bird MAY have this impediment due to a past infection

the instructions on the bottle tell you exactly how to sterilize water,for drinking , ,,,read it ;D

in my experience would say no,,, would be more inclined to go for a yb that has came steady throughout racing and training ,not necessary winning

do the best yb,s make the best ob,s,,,,reasons for answers

said it b4 ;D aim for the 3 c,s ,,,contentment ,condition and control ,b4 any tricks or tips can be worked

i wouldnt put too much emphasis on yb racing ,, would feed for the growing bird i,e higher protein and look for decent ob,s out them

yes i would agree with that one

well done paulo ,, your doing very well indeed,,

they used to advertise pigeon eggs in the rp, years ago :) but never see it now a few years ago i brought eggs back packed in a loaf of bread ;D ;D ;D up from nottingham to scotland in a hired car ;D ;D ;D handed the car back , forgot the eggs in the glove compartment,,, ;D ;D ;D had some explaining to do at the car hire firm ;D ;D ;D they said they had many things left in hired cars , but never a dozen pigeons eggs stuffed in a half loaf ;D ;D ;D true ;D ;D ;D actualy formed a great team of birds from these eggs ;D ;D ;D

do you prefer the light system to the darkness one ??? or whats the advantages or disadvantages ?? i have did the darkness system in the past quite successful but never tried the lightness system

i think we should get 5 hours overfly craig ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D what do you think ;D ;D ;D ;D

best of luck to all winners ,great site ,great info brilliant :)

as you say debbie ,with hindsight maybe should have separated it , but however we live and learn,, i think you did your best for the bird , but it looks like its either had something wrong with it [made it too weak] or very much exhausted , but a cock bird would go for a weaker bird [especially a stranger] they know there own loft mates and know when there's a different one there, its not your fault , but as i say, we all live and learn :)

vey interesting roland but wonder if that 10 years study was worth it ,,,,,to find out they follow the roads ,,,,wonder how noahs bird done that ;D ;D ;D,, but very good reading

milton will purify water in 20 mins [at the proper dose],..................,sounds a bit drastic , but pigeons with crop ailments ,can be helped by dowsing their crops with milton [again at the proper dose ] washed out with milton then emtied ,,will kill any bacteria in crop

the less,,the better

yes i have done the same pigeon wife had one chap [really decent old guy] really appreciate it, but some you never here of ,,,,so good on you mick donnachie and good on you celtic for being so appreciative :) good luck to you both ,,the way things should be
