im not so sure about taking thegrit and minerals away,,this would may be ok for a short race, but for three days in the basket, would want them to drink as much as poss ,,,,,but agree with you on the music :) i used to have the old tranie [can expect a right answer for that one ;D ;D ;D] transister radio ;D ;D ;D it does have a calming effect on the birds,, tammy must have posh birds ;D ;D ;D mines like jimmy shand [and so does my parrot ,, he dances to it ,, wittnessed by many, young gangster was in stitches watching it ] i i was nearly in stitches just talking to ,,, big gangster ;D ;D ;D

yes,,, :) providing birds are fit and keen for the job in hand :)

beans peas ,, and very little maize,, plus a few peanuts,,simply because their all feeding the first yb,s of the season youngsters

i would feed them as per usual [amount] but b4,,, 4 30 [the birds digestive system seems to slow down a bit after that, when birds are inactive, [info from jack barkel] ,, i would take the water away earlier to ensure they drink their full,after that time] this would aid towards any chance of deheydration on liberation ,,, a hand full of rice after theve been fed , would do no harm ,, best of luck :)

very decent of you steve to put that up,, im sure these three lads have did well for you ,, good luck to you with these birds [ thats a lot better than all the argueing and politics etc] seeing the good side of the pigeon lads ,,and lasses :)

f cast says weve to lose that n,e wind at the weekend ,, not b4 time ;D weather here at the lothians ,,,horrible,, thick mist and cold with it ;D [got to put my long johns on,,,,,,under my kilt ;D ;D],,,, best of luck to all, on sat ,, i wish you a good day, good racing, and good returns :)

this is the "capital diagnostics" run by the scottish agricultural centre ,, bush estate ,,penicuick, eh26 oqe phone no,, 0131 535 3130 e mail addy b.tennant@ed.sac.ac.uk charge for salmonella test,,,,,avian cocci,,,,,,and nemacides [worms] cost is £16,60 plus vat,,,around £18 done by the experts

sounds a great idea :),, bet the old fella would enjoy that :)

yes this heats the blood up,, and can cause a" false" form,, its a good thing to train, tame, ybs with as they love it but used very sparingly indeed

the less stress the better [ i,e overcrowding ] every thing clean disenfected from the word go , clean water , all add to avoiding this sickness

excactly what i mean ,,dougie

thats ok,, ok ;D brittish homing world,,,weekly mag

keep your eyes on the" for sale" posts on the forum, who knows you might be lucky :) but plenty ads in the b,h,w,

youd have a red hot team to race ;D ;D ;D

worst thing in the world for seeping the fuel out of yearlings, best way ,, patience, theyll soon pass :) [the east winds i mean :) ] and the yearlings will last longer and go further,,

i shouldnt imagine you would need planning permission to build a loft that size, but maybe need council permission ,if youve raced bird b4 you should have clue about them , but to start up, and race successfully i would , buy [or better still get ] latebred pigeons , bred direct, off generations of winners, at the distance you intend trying. a dozen real quality pigeons could get you off to a good start, and breed you a full team of ybs, for next year ,," patience is the game", listen learn and look at everything to do with pigeons ,,,,and if your taking tips off fanciers ,, make sure their winners , good foundation stock is a must b4 you kick off ,,,remember the old sunday school chorus ,,",the wise man built his house upon the rock" because its so true :) :),,,,,,,,,from there on,, go on valium ;D ;D ;D best of luck to you my freind , im sure the forum will help you no end

one thing for sure,, youll never be a millionaire racing pigeons ;D ;D ;D

yes ,quite agree with me, ,,,,,,the old saying,, when the wind is in the east,,its neither good to man nor beast, the last few mornings here , have been cold misty , till the sun came out , then mist crept in again off the coast evening time,covering the pentland hills, dangerous weather for pigeons,,,,,,,one picked up this morning , su, 06. a. 1872,, locked in a box, fed and watered ,, will lib ftom st johns hospital in livingstone tomorrow if the weathers ok [or i hear any differant ] hope the owner gets it back.

dont know how many clubs, but in their feds yearling race from newark andy [forum member] coped nearly £6000 he was , second and third , the winner got nearly £2000 , i think there was £9000 in the race ,, they also run the xmas race , about £8000 in it , also many nat winners in it ,, w, kinnear and son of auld reekie fame [and many others too ,, so it really is a tough fed ,,,,,big money fed ;D ;D ;D,,, i note already there are folks downing celtics past two results ,, hes a novice, never won a race b4 ,, won the last two weeks , really some going,,,,,its terrible to think [which is true] ,,,be last every week and your everyones freind ,, but win every week ,, then youll find your true freinds
