Great post John. The poor doos are getting slaughtered. Davie Allison got one of my doos home today from Newark how it got home I'll never know. Hardy weebuggers.
Hi just had someone email me from uddingston they have found a dead racing pigeon anyone over there get it as am a bit pushed for time. If not I will get it tomorrow.
Thank you for the nice comments Stuart. The Irish birds were from a friend my father met in Malta. He never raced pigeons but he would bring my father pigeons over from his friend in Ireland. Can't mind his name though. My father like small to medium birds for the distance races.
Thanks Gerry. You can't go far wrong. Rankin top blood paired with Jock Alston best. Wee hen one race as a youngster. Just missed the ypres result as a yearling. High hopes across the water this year. Would be great if one of my birds got a ticket for a friend.

You have to give your birds every bit of help they can get. The birds will end up in Ireland just like this season if you don't Good your listening wattie.
