Seems so mate! I was told by a mate of mine yesterday, to get and read this good book on widowhood. to be truthfull i have never heard of this author. googled his name last night..came up he was from canada,and he kept Cattrysse pigeons. 60s/70s author maybe,and i cant get hold of my marra,to get a tad more info on him. seems as tho its going to be another QUEST

OUR AGM tonight,I brought up once again..going on ets,got the reply NO CHANCE OF IT HERE!!! Most of the clubs in our area will not speak of the above topic. there excuse is its not pigeon racing,why i ask...i like to be there and handle them,when i take the rubber off. another is oh you hear of it been fiddled/cheating etc etc.it goes on an on. BUT ...wait for it... they moan when they are beaten by a fella who is on ets in the fed or a national by a mega second:blush: GIVEN UP TRYING to talk sense into them/about the meaning of the way forward in technology might as well talk to the wall:emoticon-0179-headbang: Then there moaning about the increase of rubbers,and was mentioned not so long ago about recycling the ones used from previous races...pmsl has anyone else got this problem??? Atb

Nothing is worse than seeing your bird hobbling about IN DISTRESS. when it can be sorted out,by the powers that be!! suppose its all about profit,(who can make em the cheapest)

I have some Big Soontjen stockcocks, As the years pass there legs get bigger! This is the second cock ive had to Cut a ring off,this morning,as it was cutting into his leg,stopping the circulation/blood flow. An hour later after his op he is back to his normal self. Ive noticed along with friends,over a few years the inside diameter of the rings get smaller All of this could be avoided if only they used there brains and made rings bigger!!!! Thanks for looking Atb

5 or so years ago a chap sent to Saintes 500 + miles a Soontjen sprint cock,not known if it was natural/widowhood..and won a gold medal. When i met him and congratulated him on his success on his fine outstanding result, The only question I asked him was... how did you manage to win with an out and out sprinter. He replied to me...its all in the ART OF FEEDING. Would that not be the same with distance birds also??,feeding them for sprinting/or there offspring? Nearly forgot to mention a year later he sent the same cock back to saintes,it scored a 2nd So i suppose its all down to GOOD PIGEONS,MOTIVATION,FEEDING?? they will score from any distance Thanks for looking Atb

Went for the first time last year to louella's,expecting to see all pigeons of various strain/breeds in there own aviarys etc So you could see them all... handle them and so on,and make your own mind up. when my mate and i got there..we entered this building..inside there were a good selection of birds in show pens,but none of the strain of birds we went to see. we had to ask at the office desk(same room)about the birds we were after/waited for 15/20 mins then a chap dressed in a white loft coat brought in 3 single bird boxes(courier type) with pigeons we were after. But we were not over struck on them at all. Same happened to a fella who wanted a couple of Soontjens.20 odd mins later same chap/white loft coat brought in 2 boxes we handled them also one was ok he liked the cock and bought it. We came away with nothing/there was nothing to see,thats if you wanted to wait there all day. while they brought out different ones But they did say afterwards that they had ALL THERE breeds on show yeaaaaaaaars ago.

Have any of you chaps bought birds..Stockbirds/youngsters off the above??? And how do you rate them? Atb

IN need of two Good dark cocks to x into my Peter van de Merwe's. Thanks for looking. PM me Atb
