showing is a great part of the sport that members overlook. I think that more members who pack up through hawks etc should look at getting into showing where they can still enjoy thier hobby/sport!

Aeron i would go for show racers, easy to keep but i wouldn't bother flying them out if you've got a hawk prob.

Are all races in belgium not any age?

There is nothing in the rules to prevent this. Members in my club wanted the old bird season to be anyage racing, this was put to the fed who again agreed there was nothing to stop them if they so wish but the fed didn't want it. If the club wants to they can make there races anyage and have an old and young bird result, oldbirds only being forwarded to the fed etc to please all members who wish to race any age birds. I would also sugest that youngbirds are basketed seperatly and not in with old birds, cocks or hens! Phil

spot on Jimmy, as you know i've mentioned this a few times on threads! Phil

just knit picking i know but at that age you can't tell they will be pure white as advertised!

As i posted before Mark, i've got a team of latebreds that are excercised every day before being fed in, they fly for an hour what ever the weather and none of them have been hit. I put it down to them becoming street wise, they know if anything is around and dissapear from the area coming back when all is clear or they head for the clouds. If you open up birds and leave them out after being shut up for a couple of months then expect to lose some as they won't be either street wise or fit! Phil

Can i ask why you feel you need an immunity booster?

Good luck Ted, glad to hear your winning!

have some old copy gazettes around somewhere, think it was the RP Pictorial but not sure it was the BHW Gazette as they were before my time.

lol, don't hold your breath!

tutut mark advertising another site! :P

you can order the racing pigeon from the newsagent or direct by post

used to be pigeon sport as well of course

the RP

£25 on each

did you use it though Tony?

thats a hen box to race 2 hens to 1 cock and not a bull box!

it has been on here a few times but i can't remember anybody actualy posting a picture!

there is no point making your own. If you want rings with specific information on them then there are company's that will make them for you which would be a lot cheaper than buying the equiptment. When makeing or having rings made you need some kind of register and point of contact for anybody finding one of your birds!

Don't think he'll be any good for you Ant, would be better at Cwmgarw Rd ;)

Which lot no's?

like pied hen Ant, but like you say will attract trouble!

with all the comments and pm bids what is the current bid on each bird please?
