  1. Has anybody had experiences of lighter coloured (whites etc) birds being more prone to being taken by raptors or is this mostly a misconception?
  2. If you live near a safari park, apperently lion crap works good.. Not very practical, interesting idea tho
  3. Dire straits..
  4. Imagine the loft you could buy with them winnings
  5. Suppose whatever distance the bird is conditioned to fly is vital
  6. Sorry if im covering old ground for the forum.. Just wondering which breed people have found to be the best all round distance racing strain?
  7. Thanks mate... hopefully I can make it and put faces to the forum names haha
  8. I know it would come back to bite us.. been far too mild for this time of year
  9. Good to hear of someone who has them haha... they dont appear to be that common.. I went to the blackpool show a couple of years ago, Really enjoyed it.. I'm working saturday day, but might be able to make the sunday.. Its always good chatting to enthusiastic people
  10. Good morning everyone... bit foggy here tho
  11. I'll try.. Id attempt to make a red rose if I was more confident of not making a hash of it
  12. I'll let you all know my experiences, if I finally get hold of elusive figurita breeders out there haha
  13. Thanks.. atleast now iv got a decent idea of numbers
  14. so im looking at 6 or 8 birds at a push?
  15. I plan to convert a 6x4 foot shed into a loft by replacing the windows with a trap and wire mesh to help ventilation.. I'm keeping my operation small due to space restrictions, hence my interest in the smaller breeds (figuritas) Is this feasible for a couple of birds or am I way off the mark? I know getting smaller pigeons will only give a miniscule advantage, but every little helps I suppose..
  16. thanks hahaha.. I thought that would look a bit wierd... I've basically drifted in and out, didnt wanna get pigeons half hearted.. With changes in circumstance I'm hopefully going to be in a position to get involved.. You all seem very friendly and helpful.. probably the best pigeon forum iv come across on the net
  17. I'll keep this short, Just thought Id introduce myself.. My names Lee and I've had an interest in pigeon racing for many years (although I havent had chance to train a team of my own).. Hopefully in the next couple of months I am going to acquire a couple of fancy pigeons as a next step, with specific interest in valencian figuritas.. Any information to breeders of quality figs or any other advice would be much appreciated.. Hopefully I can be constructive to the forum
