two killed by sparrow hawks in the last few weeks,[latebreds], maybe three,, but have rectified at least some of the problem ,, with some of the tips on the forum

b4 pairing i used to use wheatgerm oil,,,,,a wee bottle from pet city , cost a fortune , go to the agricultural store youll get a half gallon for that price

maybe another for new starters,,, is if you get a bent flight , you can hold it over the steam from a kettle,, and ittl straighten

yes another good one d,d sometimes called ,, condies crystals

well done ben :)

d v belding is not as daft as you think ;D and as for the cheese , ive mentioned that b4 and they thought [new] i was potty , once the birds get the taste of cheese , they will eat it with, relish ;D its full of protein and good for rearing ybs, thats true, im not being krafty ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D last time i was there , i was in a five star hotel, the problem was , i could see four of them through the ceiling ;D

yes i agree , as long as you know what your buying ,, after working for vydex and watching pigeon fanciers spending up to £200 odd quid for various posh named items , some which were all bi carb , but a lot dearer,,, but did notice one thing ,, never ever seen any of the great fanciers buying this

one of the queerest once i seen was ,, if you put a drop of aquas iodine in their water [not the iodine for putting on sores] it makes the water look cloudy ,,, but two or three drops of baby vitamin drops in it , it goes back to clear water ,, strange but true ,, try it ;D ;D ;D honest

;D ;D its well seen you like your fish suppers fifer ;D ;D

whats the dosage of bi carb , if i remember right that was the main ingredient in the white sesqui pills of old hand ,,could be wrong

;D ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D itll be going full swing at the moment,, bet you its cost him a fortune up to now ;D ;D

yes i agree ,, and think this is a good thread :) , but not so sure on the rusty nail one [no offence intended] used to do this myself years ago , but was told it could produce bacteria ,, but there again who knows :) but for once agree with alf ;D thats what the topic is all about ;D ;D good thread

mines is because im a good snooker player ;D ;D ;D

same two men wen tin the shop , and bought two mince pies, when one of them broke his pie in two ,,,there was a maggot in it ,,,so he took it back in to the shop , and said LOOK,,, AT THAT. the shop owner, said THAT, THATS FAT,,,,, AND THE WEE ,LAD SAID,,, NAE WONNER ITS BEEN EATIN AWE ME MINCE ;D

ooooooh westy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D do you mean a new one ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPECK ;D ;D HOPE YOU HAVE A REALLY GOOD DAY ;D [thats two of us had it westy ;D]

its nice to see good sportsmanship,, good luck to you both

and fair play to you pigeon man ,,,as i thought the same ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i think thats uncalled for ,, if its aggro and trouble you want pick on the ones that cause it , the fifer tries his best to be a peacemaker , and thats kinda hard nowadays.

:) happy birthday mate , have a good time

;D ;D SHI ne your buttons with brasso

:) i would think tony , thats a very difficult question,, what is a true pigeon race? there are allways factors that make pigeon races untrue, ie wind ,, position etc , so to be perfectly honest , i dont think i could answer that one :) but there are true pigeon fanciers , that win more than most, despite of this

RULE 8. RACE RULES SHU. [contstitution and rules] in arriving at the best average velocity, theTOTAL DISTANCE flown and the TOTAL TIME occupied by each competitors first bird,, in each race to be taken and the average velocity calculated from" SUCH TIME AND DISTANCE" so vics, mr smiths TOTAL DISTANCE was 1000 miles which is 10560000 60ths yd mr smiths TOTAL TIME was 46,00, 00 which is 165600 secs ,so the velocity calculated from" SUCH TIME AND DISTANCE"is 637.68. mr jones,s TOTAL DISTANCE was 1040 miles which is 10982400 60th yd, mr jones TOTAL TIME was 47.47.20 which is 17270 secs. so the velocity calculated from" SUCH TIME AND DISTANCE" is 638.25 so mr smith has 4 firsts and doesnt win the averages :) very strange indeed , but according to these rules, correct :o ;D

more interesting reading,,,liked the idea of the" bone dry attic" made better of course filled with class pigeons
