ive been lucky the past week or so training and yesterday and today we were ay elvanfoot all birds landing togethere had 33 away today gave them a pick and two hours later put the bath out and gave them the open bowl went to shut them up just before dark and theres two missing that were at the toss think ive had a visit from percy bassa im hopeing there hiding somewhere and turn up in the morning

great when its one you were looking for

i had one there birds in last week to funny enough phoned shu and they gave me his no the man came and collected the bird within the hour think it was his first toss

morning all

same in lanarkshire blue sky and sunshine

all can think of is the cable then redcheqhen let us know if you find out thanks

and good luck to you redcheqhen

blue sky here now looks like its going to be a nice day

morning guys

the wee mans like you pete cracking photo m8 and great to see the kids about the loft tony

his loft was full them blk splash mealies and reds cracking looking birds infact your old man gave me a row for spending so much money on a 14 year old and i knew he was right but that was the bird i wanted jimmy and the first yb off him won 150 pounds out the 3 bird championship club the bbc and won the yb ave on its own i only sent one yb to every yb race that year as i got cleaned out in a toss big jimmy kerr said to me what will you do if you lose that one son i said ive got another one in the loft big kerr peed him self laughing i could not figure out why at the time lol ah the inosence of youth

no m8 that was a bricoux pigeon he was 14 years old when i payed 50 pounds for him 40 years ago

worth a try and it will do them no harm hope thats all it is and your back up and running i conected mine up last week to check all was working ok and broke a pin on one of the cables but its still working ok so take it all the pins are not being used lucky but ill get another anyway just in case

another problem with unikon clocks is the amount of birds on the clock the more thats on it the longer it takes to scan looking for the ring so get the birds you have lost or not racing taken off and you will see the difference in speed as the birds go over the pad

forgot to ask you have the pads been out side all winter as i had a problem 2 years ago one pad not working it had been in the loft all winter brought it in the house and sat it on the radiator for a few hours and it worked now i bring the pads into the house when season is done must be dampness getting inside them worth a try redcheq

lol not any more joe im weeding them out m8 when you talk to neighbours here you just take your pick shaft with you but im lucky i have good neighbours around me now its half the battle

suppose that depends on the neighbours pete and what your blocking i had to take a loft down because a neighbour went to the council and said the loft was blocking her view the only view the *expletive removed* had was into my sisters back window but they still made me take it down if your on good terms with the neighbours go and ask them if will cause a problem first if they say its ok take a wee box of chocs round to the lady of the house as a wee thankyou works wonders and keeps them sweet

sounds like the cable between pad one and two id just have on the one thats working and if a bird from other section comes first catch it and put it on to pad one till your hubby finds out whats wrong

brightening up here now time to basket the birds for training

an inbred bird is a bird bred from say father and daughter half brother to half sister grandsire to granddaughter so inbred back to the best pigeons in the family is best i can explain it to you thus retaining lots of the best winning gennes from that family louella breed there birds this way and the jan aarden family would be a good cross for you i think hope this helps you

the higher off the ground the better pete stops vermin going under to nest they like it low so its dark id make it over two foot high then you have some where to store baskets also keeps your traps high so cats have trouble jumping up to them good luck with it m8

then an inbred distance familly is what your after bluepied

tell the police whats going on get them involved now they can go speak them before friday basketing

any good winning family depending on what distance you are interested in id go for an inbred family with winning genes all through the pedigree

morning guys
