Hi peeps me again, I have question which is I have 18 young birds for racing but I think it's not enough can I breed more from my old birds again? All my birds just been vaccinated for pmv, could future babies compete without being vaccinated or must be done? I know the season starts in July so I use my 18 but could late babies be fine for later in the year or best for next year old bird racing? Cheers I know it's lots but I'm still learning

Good morning the doos are out and sitting in a fine sun

Was on W channel 109 sky tv if you missed it download uktv player

Just watched the programme called natural curiosities by David Attenborough about racing pigeons ability to home is good and interesting and I keep thinking about my doos, it's clever and still baffles me how they find their way home from up to 500 miles. So here's to the humble pigeon

Well done guys

I'm with the Fraserburgh and district club

I have disability which is cerebral palsy so cannot lift heavy or without my walking sticks so these guys are helpful

Huge thanks to Colin McRae from cainbulg for helping us erect our young bird loft beside my existing one, also to Andy Higgins of Fraserburgh for starting me out last year with doos and some young birds so here's to my future and I hope I do well.

I got doos from Andy and he helped me into this hobby so it's good to hear from this

Nope still gone I think bird of prey got it

I have not bought the yogurt yet but will do, you mix it in the food? And will it benefit the whole flock? It's Matthew by the way in st combs

Well done all

Well done Colin

I like pigeons that are a bit tame, shows they trust you to provide food and shelter and in return a good racing.

No just the 2 lost 1

Well done Stuart and thanks for the young doos too hope they do me proud

Not yet they fly together I'm in middle of putting up a 2 section loft then the young be seperated

25 Young and about 20 old birds

There's not much round st combs but if my birds wander down towards the fields or crimond area then there's B of Ps (birds of prey) we get passing by B of Ps at st combs so some of my birds might have fallen victim to one.

Don't get them my area but there's buzzards here or sparrowhawks, but my brother lives in Stonehaven there are peregrines there

Well done Colin and all the timers

Lol true but I honestly think it's brings good heart if it's on the roof as can try intince them home but out of sight means it's a gonner

Who's Percy?

Nope so it's still gone 😢

Looks like it's heading to my belly mmmm
