Totally agree with this but as always you get the old argument which race controller are we going to use who is going to do this who is going to do that Before all these get sorted out there will not be enough birds or faciers to fill a transit van
When i first started keeping pigeons there was a corn mill around 3 miles from me i would go up on a saturday afternoon and sweep the yard for the guy and i was alowed to fill a bag with what corn there was there if i could carry it the guy said i could have it
I think if you lost a large amount of young birds like that you would be glad to get them back just think how much time and money you have already spent to bring birds on and how much it would cost to replace them. I had a flyaway a few years ago and only got 2 reported i was gutted as that was a wasted years breeding remember guys these are your birds you have spent many hours rearing feeding training and how much that has already cost YOU
