Everyone to their own opinion but look at last years yb season everybody raved about it with only the odd youngbirds going missing from the exact same race points not even a year ago but if you actually look at the returns overall this year it isn't that bad but have say some races have been a bit erratic and if people are honest about the whole thing they should cast their mind back to last years racing down the east which there was lots of birds going missing and not even turning up weeks later. The important thing in all this is the pigeons welfare
