    Training

    looks like going to be another good day today so be off today with local trainer who bought my trailer other year Aye it's a long season with tired birds , mine are flying well around home just a couple of weeks training on good days is all mine will get. You can soon burn them out before season starts hence why started mine when a good break in weather , most just have teams for the first 3 races which get put away until comebacks so gives them a chance to recover

  21. Happy Birthday Guys hope your having a great day :emoticon-0167-beer: :emoticon-0123-party:
  22. I find the clay ones wet and become damp underneath when breeding , been porous are prone to frost damage and become brittle and been porous more likely to harbour germs , I like the plastic ones but are a pain to clean but come up great in the dishwasher lol . My uncle was buying bowls at Donny some weren't up to the job and not as wide as I'd of liked may been ok for smaller birds not racers and no doubt would cause curved keels due to the curve and lack of room for the growing young birds.
  23. Happy Birthday Ian , hope your having a great day :emoticon-0167-beer: :emoticon-0123-party:
  24. looking good well done
