PIGEONJIMI

Congrats & heres to the next 1000

Call me nostalgic but i hark back to the days of the backyard lofts,pre vaccinations & all the other pills & potions,all we used was a puff of lice powder,you could get a half decent bird for half a dollar down at the pigeon market (shudehill), but like everything else we seem to need more & more extras to achieve the same results

Did they used to be in Ardwick ?

Cracking loft Ally,What system of trapping will you use ?

Thanks fifer. Boy do i feel dumb !!

Could do with a pair of 'eagle eyes' to read the attachment

Welcome to the site,as for books have you checked out the 'Guy Barrett' book on this site ,its full of easy to follow tips

Good choice of name globalgirl,As i told you before "Where theres a will theres a relative" Money brings the worst out in folk,just watch an episode of 'Goldenballs' for example,Take care & best of luck

Must have been a gut wrenching decision especially as you have only recently aqquired new birds,Good luck m8

I agree with pjc,just keep a close eye on Blackie over the next few days,In your condition you dont need any unwelcome stress..so chill

Well done Kieran. An "ace" in the making

Reminds me of a picture i saw in the Racing Pigeon Gazette years ago,it was titled "The dual winged pigeon" if i remember correctly one wing bl ch pd & the other wing red cheq

George UK i envy you !! Great set up,are you going to provide a link to the webcam ?

The new shed looks more than adequte ? Given time im sure the birds will settle,glad to hear of Blackies return & remember " where theres a will...Theres a Relative"

19 years old wow,thats some age, all the more distressing for your Grandad,take comfort in the many memories you must have,on a lighter note good luck with the baby

The pair in pic 7 get my vote,they'd win in the show pen,Cracking birds all round

Quality looking birds,would grace any loft

Greetings & welcome hope you share some of your secrets

Welcome lamper,enjoy the site (i do) your'e in a nice location

As a "newbie" i wish to applaud Jimmy White for raising the post,here i was sitting around feeling sorry for myself and through chance i found this site,within minutes of posting my first post i was welcomed with words of encouragement & advice,kind words have done more for me than any medication,so thank you fellow members & to anyone in a similar position Good Luck & God Bless

RIP Eddie, in an age when mega millions rule the game it is the passing of the genuine guys that brings it all into perspective,to rembrant2coo & all ARABS i offer my sympathy .COME ON THE ARABS
