well done shortcut lofts, , seems there has been a few prizes won by pigeon basics members,, very well done

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D yes ,,sent about 6 pm,s ;D ;D ;D,, hope your doing ok archie

what class was your avatar in bart ;D ;D ;D ;D[only kidding ,looks a bit like me ;D ;D ;D]

kinda hard to answer that phil,, they actualy moult all year round,, but the" big" moult usually starts after theve moulted their 6th or so main flight feathers , the moult of these flight feathers usually starts after theve sat on their second round of eggs for more than 10-12 days , so maybe easier to say that in general, the pigeons have their big ,main moult in autumn, nature having it they have their new coats for the winter, at the time of this main, big moult they are better rested then , so that they complete a good moult

what a stunner

well done brian massey,, great going with only five entered,, congrats also congrats to tammy and chrissy , they seem to have did well also any other pb members gain any prizes? a great show, even to get one prize is hard going

good luck, with the night out,,,, sounds good

should be well old enough to eat and drink,, maples seem to be the easiest for them to pick , at that age , if they have a crop full of maples , a beak dip in the water , should make them drink ok

R,I,P jimmy murphy

think youve got the right idea, michael, hope gail can be of help to you, and get you in touch with some local good fanciers,,,keep at the forum, plenty to learn here ,,best of luck mate

so many great fanciers , all in their different fields,, alan darragh, dave mawhinney,[glendi, fame] wooff bros and son [charlie , les and russel] been topping the fed for near 60 years now, and still doing it,,, even the first seven!! , many great distance fliers in scotland and n,ireland , too many to mention

could be suspect,, im sure pigeon scout will advise , theres also a post on paratyphoid by vic,, on" sticky" health tread

welcome danny ,,hope all goes well and look forward to seeing your posts on the forum , best of luck mate

good question chris ;D forunately i have no wife or parter , but b4 being divorved a long time ago ,my wife hated the pigeons, but loved them when a cheque was comming ;D ;D ;D

yes,, can see your point greengrass ,if approaching the fancier themselves , youd certainly get them a lot cheaper ,, i think the main one in the ball room is for charity?? maybe reson for higher prices anyone know how charlie wooff s bird sold for [wooff bros and son, new ollerton] in the main ball room auction ??

;D hi jase no 1 ,, many many sales and auctions, trade stands etc no2 there are both fancy birds racing birds competing in the show, i suppose you could buy fancy birds there too, no3,, their certainly not all champions , but some prices are ;D ;D ;D, no, their all prices ,breeds etc no4,, it is very interesting indeed , its a massive show , with thousands of pigeon fanciers attending each january hope this helps jase ,, down under

;D ;D ;D also a great sense of humour ;D ;D ;D brilliant ,definately a lovely lass and mum

its you thats the star krankin ;D ;D ;D really very thoughtfull and kind ill get them yet my fitter friend comes back from a big pigeon show in the winter garden b/pool on sunday or monday , we can get him to do the donkey work,,, we can organize :) and quite seriously i cant beleive that of your mum ,surely not

never mind grizzal,, wise person stays out bookies ;D ;D or maybe, should read ,,,,skint person stays in bookies ;D ;D ; far better conditioning and pooling your pigeons

;D ;D ;D thanks paddymac,,, your not far wrong ;D ;D ;D think i was draining the scale pipes ;D ;D ;D but it did bring me back to my youth, catching pigeons on old buildings etc ;D ;D ;D aye, those were the days ;D ;D ;D,,,,,,,,just wondered what the neighbours thought seeing me with a fishing rod at 6pm on a sat night,[their comming to take me away ha ha ;D ;D ;D]

;D ;D ;D just back with fishing rod and net,[2cnd journey],but no birds ;D ;D missed them must be getting old ;D krankin, is a most decent, lovely, thoughtfull,young lady, non-pigeon fancier , who has genuinly worried over these two pigeons , also met her mum [another young lady ] both very nice indeed and very concerned over these pigeons , a big thanks to them for tending to these birds ,we hope yet to catch them , they seemingly belonged to an old chap who had passed away," r,i,p old fella ", you can see how well he had attended his garden and seemingly had a very small loft and just a few birds as company the birds there were a b bar and a grizzle]
