  3. 3rd bird,im not blowing my own horn or try to bragg.Its just such a nice feeling to be on top of the page!!!Whoooeeeeeee
  4. Hi everyone,finaly a win!!!! Darn,im so happy.My first win in second seoson.And all credit must go to all PB members for giving birds and advice when i needed it.1st,2nd,3rd and 7th club was my result,with 35 birds back out of 39.Here is a few pics of the birds starting with the winner.Sorry wrong pic this was the 7th bird.
  5. Altough i am only 26 i think its a cracking idee....well thats the way i would like to see my last days out.Unless the misses pop me of before my time ;D
  6. I had a chap walk in my loft the begining of the seoson just as i started pairing up.He's exact words to me was......crap crap crap based on eye sign,and to be honest i tought i had it.All my hopes was shaterd,my seoson ended before it started.I was talking to another club member 83 year old that sayd to me,Andre you know wat to do...proof HIM wrong and race the s**t out of him.And so i did.I ended up beating him 6 out of 8 races.Its simpel,eye sign is just another money making scheme,just like hundreds of other theories and products on the market.Im still a novice as i had not yet taken a 1st,but i will,and when that day comes i will be laughing down his corps.. !!!!!!!!
  7. We fly y/b East,and old birds then turn South over the channel.
  8. Hi every one,hope you all keeping well, Does any body know if there is a y/b race from Tours this year?,like last year.Im not shure,but i think it was East against West.It was the end or nearer to the end of the y/b seoson. Thank you. Andre
  9. Hi there guys,regret to say found this bird ded on my way to work yesterday morning.GB 08 N 53143 Checker White Flight looks like it might have been a hen.Because its a N ring it makes it a wee bit more difficalt to find the area the bird comes from.
  10. Thats just made my day.......sad init.Ha ha ha :) :) :) :)
  11. Well done mate....we your ready let us know wat the ring number is please. Have you got space on the farm for i loft and a few birds?
  12. Hi everyone, Im looking for some white doves or fantails....anything white realy.My neighbour asked me to see if i can find some and i tought why not ask pb members .He's got a dove cote which could house 2pairs easy.Am willing to pay no props. Thanx
  13. some times i which i was back in south africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! harmless inocent birds being slaugterd for nothing. I could say something but i wont. My heart goes out to that poor fancier.
  14. i think us boys down here thats flying over the water will have slow race....west nort west..god my poor birdies.(i expect you can tell its my first channel race)
  15. I'm not shure about the spelling.....Picaville
  16. Speeking of own experience......last year i spend only the necesary time in my loft and could only manage 14 th place in my club.This year with the same birds i have put the hours in and i was 2nd the 1st race and 3rd the 2nd.good birds will under perform with bad management no doubt....
  17. Halo everyone, Its my first channel race this weekend.Only 108 miles........ Is there any thing i need to know now in prep for saterday? I am flying 5 w/h cocks. Thanx All.....

  20. I tryde it mate,it just slows your comp down...if i was you i woudint bother..
  21. Hi every one,i lost a widowhood cock racing on the 11th and he only came back to me yesterday.Do you think i should put him in the race this weekend,bearing in mind he was a stray that came to me last year,i had him transfer as the prev owner say i should give him a go.He is a two year old(07).Any advice will be welcomed.Thank you.
  22. I have been watching my cocks very closely,mon + tue they seem slugiech and will only do about 30min,god comewed + thu they will even go ranging,shooting up in the sky disapear for 30-40 min dive bom the loft realise the door is closed and shoot of again for another 20-30 min.I dont think you can put a time on it,some birds will fly longer than others and a fit bird Never needs flaging. (this is wat i think,bearing in mind i am just a novice).
  23. I dont gome on the site enough to criticise,they are doing a great thing......If it wasent for this site my birds would not be doing as well as they are.Best sourse for info.....
