is there not a saying though that form is temporary but class is permanent?

does louella hant and race pigeons

another point a lot of flyers have 1 or 2 good pigeons from may be 60 birds in there loft they will not sell you young from these cheaply will they ?

great advice walter boswell

for what its worth birds did 30 mile in 37 mins this morning 2/7 14 sun and cloudy nice day 5mph ssw wind still some lead balloons among them

ive bought some waxas of them cheap enough only fault cocks seem to be a bit flighty I even turn of coronation street to study pedigrees glass of wine pigeon heaven

what do you think of louella birds as stock pigeons I could look at the pedigree cards 24/7 they fascinate me

hi for what its worth 30/6/14 birds did 44mins had 2 days of to freshen up some of them are still like lead baloons

back again you have the answers wire cage to see surrounding late afternoon when you try them out must be wanting food to try and control them and get them bomb proof so they don't bolt at slightest movement or noise cant do no more than that my friend youll be ok

they like 24 hours from gates head and these feet were made for walking, lol I would not mind but they have only been for 30 mile traing sessions

strong on the wing spend a week or two moving round the loft noisily have wireless on at feed time if birds don't come to trough to eat don't worry they will sooner or later get them to scramble at your feet to get to feed plenty of noise they become bomb proof now when you let them out the slightest noise don't make them scatter sound of wireless might deter cats trying to sneek up on them it works trust me

quote for the day a fool and his pigeons are soon parted. ive lost quite a few like lol

I remember reading about a champion trainer and I quote young bird racing young biiiird racing I leave that to the novices.i believe he schooled young birds he race trained yearlings and won thousands of pounds with 2 and 3 year olds food for thought don't stress the wings of you babies

my birds clocked 51 mins this morning 27/6/14 for the 30mls last week 77 mins 1 chuck this week 23/6 55mins 26/6 55mins 27/6 clocked 51mins hope this helps other rookies like myself im aiming for 12500 per min no wind assist would this be about right

just to add this flying was from south to north on a 4 mph east wind cloudy but good weather

would a group of 200 birds make better time than10 birds or would this make no differance

has any body worked out which part of race pigeon travels fastest ,120 mile race would he travel faster rom 0to40 or 40 to 80 or 80 to 120 miles which section do experts think he would travel in fastest time hope this is not crazy question please don't reply it depends on the bird

thank you for replies mine clocked 55mins on Tuesday and 55mins today aiming for 45mins next week my birds could not do 25 mins on back of a motor bike lol there staying birds jan ardens thanks again you've gave me some idea

thanks for your reply mine are past that stage and are nearly ready to race I hope that's why im asking whatis a reasonable time for 30 miles as crow flies????

how long on average should my birds take to fly 30 miles as the crow flies??? on a nice clear day
