  18. just cant believe this after 35 years of pigeon racing at the house i grew up in sadly i had to take the lofts down which took all day to dismantle and burn it i then put the house up for sale before i went on holiday it sold quite quickly while i was on holiday i just found out tonight the guy who bought it keeps pigeons and will be racing from the old loft location my old neighbour was just saying she misses the birds not flying out in the morning wait till i tell her :B ;D
