Many Happy returns Andy, hope you have a great day pal. :emoticon-0167-beer: :emoticon-0123-party:

It did cross my mind maybe next year we will throw a party for you there

Happy Birthday Gareth

My point exactly

Because you/they would be probably be prosecuted for liberating an 'alien' species. The strange thing is that there is documented evidence to show they were once native to these Isles. The rspb have decreed that they are 'alien' and hence destroy them at every opportunity.

Good luck for tomorrow guys. I have enjoyed following the thread again. Paul. :scotland:

Nice photo Andy

There are still milers in the Barnsley area, Royston I think.

Brilliant Stuart, I hope they hatch for you pal

Agree 100%

Lovely doo Robbie

Phil I keep them to race, I enjoy racing them, I enjoy the anticipation on race days. I personally think it is a short racing season and a long year and yes I would love more races. As for last year, it was a terrific YB season for me, weather was superb, returns were great except for Consett. I dropped 7 at Consett, I lost 5 birds in 7 races sending around 30 per week other than Consett so 12 in total. My thoughts on that are that they were the best trained yb's I have ever had and I didn't have YB sickness. ......and no I don't have'some amount of doo's'. Best of luck to you for 2014 and enjoy your doo's.

A beautiful hen Chris :emoticon-0137-clapping:

I heard that too, Harry

Where does he live?

For me a race is a race. I love racing pigeons and we don't get enough races in a year to keep me happy. I personally enjoy racing old birds more but the young bird racing equates to half the season so I make the most of it. I will give some young birds only a couple of races, some will get 4,6 or maybe more. Young bird racing is far more complex than it used to be and in some cases it can be like oldbird racing. I have some darkness yb's for a bit of fun but I also have naturals and they are left to mature naturally. If there is a race on I want to have a go at winning. Each to their own, I wish we could have 3 races a week never mind ignore half of the season because 'it is only yb's'.

Best of luck Willie and the rest of the Scottish lads

Many happy returns

Had a fantastic night last night. The crack was brilliant Stuart (aka Mohammed) and Liam had us all in hysterics at the table. I thought the panel gave some great insights into their methods. Big thanks to Alex (homer 49) for getting a round in for the guys from the North. Feeling a bit fragile this morning although the breakfast did stay down this time. Same can't be said for my room mate though!!!
