your more than welcome the janssen storys is a very intresting one

the tail of a pigeon is used to stear and brake , moulting an odd feather wont stop it flying , but feathers do usualy moult in pairs at opposite sides of a bird ,the other paired feather will no doubt fall out shortly

overcast southerly wind at Scarborough

East Coast Federation at Reed Liberated at 8.30 in a South Easterly wind ,, good luck to all members who are racing this weekend , may your returns be good

0.2p for a rubber, if small minded squables broke out about the price of rubbers you could have the very same argument about printing ink and the increase of paper , one printed for birds entred then anothor for returns then a result on top , id expect my club members arent so small minded and will all be using ets in time as will i , it wont make birds fly faster you still have to get them home to win

Why will people be paying more to race with rubbers on ? our club buys the rubbers , the race sheets printer ink paper , clock rolls ectra , so everyone in club that pays there fees contributes to buying these things. or perhaps the ets users will refuse to pay 0.2p for rubbers there not using ?

im sure ill get a race birds will be up early rain sets in around one here tomorrow , i also wish you get a good race tomorrow , id like a few head winds i feel the ybs are having it too easy with the exception of rain of course

very true most fanciers used to get 12 to 15 rings very few birds were lost , but its win at all costs , and to have one or two members send 100 birds a week each is more common place , there bound to have a few in form with far greater losses , yes there are too many paper birds about , pedigrees were introduced to inflate prices and were far away from the working mans pocket , good birds win races better to have quality over quantity any day in my view. As you say if you have taken a bird up the road near its home and helped it on its way home on the day its raced then yes the rubber should be removed , but common sense would predict that a pigeon flying home would in most cases would beat a car. A bird can make a mistake but more fault id lie at the fanciers door but you cant tell a bird is good enough untill its done what its been bred for and thats racing , are all stray bad ? read this http://www.pigeonnetwork.com/articles/A_Wonderful_Stray.html

by the sound of it you be the one with the collection of ets rings

if a bird has entered your loft it obviously flew there , its race may not have finished , and only the owner of said bird should remove its rubber, if the bird stopped of for either food or water its still flown the race , birds do go down if not prepaired properly and on hot days more so for water , if a fancier gets your bird in then releases it a small strip of paper with location and time slipped into the life ring will give the owner a better idea of where its been , rather than have there property removed from its leg been either a rubber or ets ring
