  1. hi folks, hope all are well, my first post for nearly a year i bet!! has anyone remembered me or missed me? i bet not lol, anyway my input for what its worth, i think we need to treat all our pigeons as individuals, people are very quick to condemn a bird, rather than blaming themselvs, pigeons react in very different ways, at different times of the year/distance. for instance i have 1 bird, that when i have tried to motivate him, by putting another cock in with his hen and locking him out, he didnt react very well and went very shy, tried different things with him along the same lines, and he was always near last and reluctent to go in, i know now it really upset him seeing his hen showing to another cock, and he sulked, ibet your all thinking now what a load of bollox!!, but i was near to killing him! but i thought i would try him with his hen all the time, last 3 races, he was first bird back every time, and won 2 x club firsts and 1 2nd, and was in the top 10 in the fed all 3 races, so this year im going to try and treat all my birds as individuals, i only have 16 cocks, so it will be easier, and yes of course they have to be fit and disease free aswell!! hope this does someone some good, pete
  2. Glad to be of help damian, any assistance i can give you please give me a shout, it was good to know the birds were going to a good home, thats more important than makin a few quid, all the best anyway.

  6. Hi all, thanks for all the pms, and thanks for all the pms from people welcoming me back!! had 22 pms from people wanting the birds, i am going to give it till tommorow morning, just to see if i can get anyone to collect, as with work its difficult to get them picked up by courier, but if no offers to collect then they i will decide where they go, cheers
  7. hey mick, yeah it is, got fed up of all the idiots on the site, hope its improved some of the reds are van reets, dont know which though i m afraid, just bein honest mate
  8. Hi all, i sadly offer 15 pigeons my good friend unfortunatley died 2 weeks ago, and he didnt want the birds to be killed just because he was ill, so i am going to do my best to re home them, they are in perfect health, and fully moulted out, they are mostly 2008 birds with 2 or 3 2007 birds, not sure of sexs but think theres a few more cocks than hens, i would love to keep them myself but i dont keep prisoners anymore and havent the room, i can assure the new owner they are all well bred pigeons and there are prizewinners amongst them(dont know which) theres about 5 or 6 reds/mealies the rest blues and chqs, would prefer them to go as a whole, the breeds that he kept were van reets wildermeerch, busschaerts and dordins, PLEASE PLEASE no timewaisters, these are free he won his share of races, they need to go within next 10 days as they are in my stock loft, and i need to prepare my birds for breeding, many thanks for looking( all the birds are tame aswell, he lived in his loft. the birds need to be collected from crewe or newcastle(stoke on trent) area, or carriage cud be arranged by the luck new owner, cheers
  9. the first in the clock on a saturday!! you can buy the birds but you cant buy the man, theres good and bad in every strain, dont go to someone because they have the fasionable strain, a good start would be someone 1 who is winning consistently, but dont expect success over night, alot of its down to feeding, you can feed a distance bird to come faster, but you cant make a sprinter come from the distance. just my opinion
