CHAIRDE FRIENDS
well after the break-in after the Blackpool show I was on a bit of a downer
ch pied (Davy) rang during the week
we are for a pigeon show on Saturday
that's sound can I bring jack
no problem
right that's sound
and you showing your fantails
Davy we don't show our birds are just for fun
I know they are but your showing
Davy I wouldn't know the first thing to do
so Davy give me a few pointers
so this morning Davy joined jack as a fully paid up member of
The West Belfast Fancy Club
and if anyone thinks that pigeon fancying is a dieing sport or old men in caps and whippets you should have there today to see all the kids entering their OWN BIRDS and after talking to some parents and grand-parents one guy told me his grand-daughter has her own loft of fancy birds
(the kids about 10) she scrapes feeds waters her loft last night the kid spend 3 hours scrubbing nest bowls and the most of these guys were racing fanciers but had fancy,tippler or rollers just as an interest during the winter
IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO SEE
so jack showed for the first time
there wasn't a big selection to pick for but he put up two birds
1 a red pied the other a blood red with a single white feather in it tail
SO HOW DID HE DO
