Hi Bart, I would prefer it if the birds could fly a straight line home along the west coast, but for some that wouldn't be a challenge. Any way its the pigeon men that decide the routes not there wifes. Now dogs is something else at least on that subject I can say something sensible.
Graham our birds fly in Kilwinning Homing Society. Like most clubs there used to be lots of members but not any more think there are about a dozen now, if that.
All I can say is I am glad this years training is about finished, lets me save up space for the bakers buns next year. LOL
