that race was just a wee trial for you, as you say youve got them training well this week, so the best of luck to you this week comming,snowy and westy
just seen a batch of about 40,,50, heading towards fife area, they flew through that pylon sub station where all the pylon wires meet, 2 pigeons hit the wires and dropped1 managed to hit the wires and struggle on well behind the batch, i asked to go in and look around but they wouldnt let me [which i could understand] but it shows you what can happen when their out of your hands, [ this would be about 11 am]
their all great, but i have to say fifers takes the biscuit, and you wouldnt beleive by the look on his face,, ;D ;D ;D,hes just timed in a winner ;D ;D ;D
thats good young westy,bet you wont sleep this week , how many going on friday?hope you get a good one [it would make my day anyway, and snowies ;D ;D ;D]
:)BEST OF LUCK
yes , absolutely great , a well deserved winner , congrats to gilmour bros and "ROBBIES BOY", and yes another pigeon basics fancier [get fifer to give you a dram from me ;D ;D ;D]
could be a few things snowy, but nothing to worry about,,,sometimes if youve put c,l,o,in their food it can do this or any oily , wheatgerm , even hormoform the oil gets on there heads and makes it look dark , maybe youve basketed them with freshly cleaned basket with something oily, even creasote, and never had time to dry, or maybe even done the inside of loft, , but nowt to worry about :)
i was refering to "other obstacles ",ray,meaning hawks , and even whats in the air nowadays [ dont mean oxygen ;D], but injections , certain medications etc, dont really know the answer , but in 1958 started off with 9 yb,s finished up with 7 that was all the training , and all the racing, yb nat. at that time was cheltenham 300 miles sent 2 got 2, but that was fairly the norm then , but today there is definately something,and whatever it is, and its got worse as the years have gone on.
