Very rare to see the sun & moon out on the same day in rainy Scotland

These birds will do someone good

2-2 draw

Very smart Ryan

Try and apply for Lottery funding on the grounds of researching the losses in races

Most of the wind farms in Scotland are on high ground and the birds usually keep low when flying around hills

City 3-0

Give it a cod liver oil capsule then same again 3 days later that will clear it up

Many years ago no one needed to vaccinate there birds and young birds still had the same stress of training & racing no one had heard of young bird sickness then if you had a couple of young birds throwing up most put it down to sour crop and a charcoal pill or Epsom salts usually did the trick, I think after many years of blind preventative treatment of birds we have now got birds with little or no natural immunity to disease

Buy a couple of pairs from 2 top fanciers best birds then cross them together and race the offspring

I agree with Hotrod it's pointless treating the bird

You mean Retford

All the best Tam

I think it is down to intelligence and determination some have what it takes others haven't, some pigeons are like some of there owners numpties

Vinegar out of Tesco

Well done Steven

It just goes to show not all missing birds get killed by hawks, but always good to see a special one return

Well done Kevin

Pigeon racing is mainly reported in the press when there has been cheating or an arson attack on lofts all very bad publicity towards the future of the sport

No such thing as a magic potion with racing pigeons it is down to dedication, effort and common sense a thing which is lacking with many in the sport now

Well done George

Scottish teams are a very poor standard now no good players want to play up here

Schalie

I don't think it is just peregrines to blame for the heavy losses we also have erratic weather, clashing due to less race points to liberate from, lack of communication between convoyers, sick pigeons being sent to races, inferior birds being bred, lack of training, yes the Hawks do cause havoc but they don't account for all the pigeon losses we have now
