Having been involved with pigeons and pigeon men for nearly 50 years, go for it. The frustrations, the arguments (sorry differences of opinion), BOP's, weather, questionable race controlling. It all pales into insignificance when you spot a bird folding it's wings and heading down to your loft on a Saturday. Yes we have many mountains to climb and obstacles to overcome, that's a story for another day. Again, GO FOR IT AW THE BEST
