Mr Jefferies, sent you a PM.

Dull and damp on the North East Coast. meant to clear up later today. lets hope so :egyptian: First race tomorrow, cant wait

Anything in mind Bobby? where about are you from? cheers Craig

Spot on Wiley, most of them i understand, there are some of them that must be Belgium because they would mean nothing in Afrikaans. very handy list to have though

Birds look well, i love the check wf hen in picture 14

there you go IB, just to show how close the two languages are, in Afrikaans "moeder" is mother and Vader is father. "Die Duif" is The Pigeon. there you go, a daily class in the Afrikaans language

You could be right Wiley. its just that Dutch is very simelar to Afrikaans except the dutch put the letters "EN" onto the end of most of their words. a Pigeon in Afrikaans is a Duif which is why i thought thats what it was. i am able to communicate fluently with the people in NL because of my afrikaans backround but like i say i could be wrong about that one

Wiley, spot on with your translations , only i was under the impression that Duiven means Pigeon rather than Hen.

Hi Marianne, looking at your photo's, is that a balcony which you can see through the window on the first photo? if so, why not look at having something wall mounted outside?

Why not, if he prepares for it properly and is fit and healthy, i reckon he could have a great chance :emoticon-0140-rofl:

the comment as i read it was that the bird beating 5000 birds was no better than one beating 300? no mention of wind or loft location. anyway, not going to fall out over this, just i know which one i would rather spend my money on

i couldnt disagree with this more :emoticon-0138-thinking: if you take a combine race, a pigeon that wins his club and fed lets say 600 birds, could end up 50th combine 28000 birds. Sorry, not as good as the combine winner IMO

I race in Horden homing society (average 400 - 500 birds pw South East Durham fed (average between 2500 - 3000 birds pw Up North Combine (could be anything up to 30 000 birds in the combine races. :egyptian: :egyptian:

Sorry they are not Klaks, they are Jansen VD Bossche

Davey Barkel has a pair of chocolate klaks (i think) that certainly produce the goods... <_<
