i dont think that will happen

they said the same about paramyxo,foot and mouth,szars etc. it hasnt stopped us yet. dont be a defeatist

today for me was my journey to mecca.my job took me to the home of the legendery flyers of walters and broadhurst.mrs walters showed me what was left of there lofts and she showed me the spare room where they had on the walls photo's of all there great champions. as any pigeon flyer would be i was in seventh heaven.just whished the great man was still around to give me afew tips. i spent a very happy hour there with a lovely woman,

oh dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats a realy good site schouwman.i like the grizzle cock

you have to resize.i had the same problem.

its less than a mile from me so i will be there

have you ever raced norht silverwings,there are already north road feds in our area west mids

at what age do fanciers let there young birds out for the first time and what time of day is best. is it a disadvantage not having any old birds to bring them back to the loft when they first strike ?

i voted no racing. i think its only a matter of time before we wake up one day soon and the headlines will be its here in britain.

going to my first young bird sale tonite, could fellow members give me any advice what to look for before i purchase any youngster what would you look for ? :-/

i took the foto sunday i took me this long to get it on this site,i have parted them today,they are wildemeersch

it took me two days but with help from you guys i did it ,these are my first two young birds

thanxs for everyones HELP!

how do i click on more post options,when you start a new thread,it is not there confused how do you downsize your pics

when i purchased my loft it came with four sets of wooden floor grills which i won't be using.they were made by red star prducts,i think they are 4foot by 3foot long perfectcondition pm me with any offers west mids

my saddest day was when me and my grandad flew in our first young bird race again when i was 13years old (1983).we won the race so i got on my bike straight to my grandad's house to tell him we had won,our delight was short lived when the secretary phoned the next day to say the race was declared void because a crate of pigeons were found in the marking shed which hadnt gone to the race point. the race was declared void at a subsequent meeting

when i was 13 years old i sat allday waiting for our only entry to nantes to arrive,my grandad who i helped said she wont come now its to dark and wet,but about 9.30 soaking wet and exhausted she dropped on the landing i was so excited (my first race), i ran up the garden to show my grandad his first words were ' so what time did you clock her in' but in my excitement i hadnt clocked her in,but we still won the race she was a little dark cattryse hen. that is my first expierence of racing pigeons,i dont no who was the wettest me or the hen

i changed to north road when i raced before (due to paramyxo i think).many good flyers lost a lot of bids,its a hard route to fly

thanks everyone for your advice,i have grills but dont like them,i just wanted your thoughts thanks

just heard that bird flu has reached france

what do fanciers think of floor grills for there young birds,how ling do you use them? and do you put straw on the floor etc

yes ron i have heard it

its in italy
