IMO 12 youngsters....4 pair of breeders. It's a quality of life thing, not a numbers game

Nothing against you at all. Would have made the same posting no matter who had made the video. My only concern was my perceived quantity of pigeons in the box, nothing more.

Looking forward to your ' husbandry ' posting.

No problem...you tell him regarding husbandry, I'll stick with my opinion.

Not a discussion......it's my opinion !!!!

I say what I write..in my opinion there appeared to be too many pigeons in the cardboard box......that's cruel, and I have not time for that !!

Herein lies wisdom.

Sent P.

Have recieved 1 this morning, and sent 2 after that, but doesn't register as sent. Sent you 1 Roland, let me know on thread if received Cheers P.

Fair point !! Cheers for that P.

Are your PM's working ??

I reckon there were about 8 or 10 came out of the box...not sure.......not good !!!!!! :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(

I imagine it will be flat roofed Mikey, as it has to be built a bit on the cheap ( Redundant since Feb ) and lofts costing thousands of pounds are simply way out of my league.

Thanks to all...a few ideas to ponder over.

Had a mate years ago who said...' never buy new birds, when the best in the country is flying over you' :-/ :-/ :-/ :(

So that would give me 6 sections..is that right Andy ? ie..6 sections ea 4ft wide = 24ft or are you thinking all of loft being 4ft deep ie 24ft x 4ft?

As some of you will remember, I hopefully will return to racing pigeons, and have to build a new loft. The space available is 24' x 6', and will have to face west. Intend to try and build a team to fly Fance, so will probably be natural racing. Any suggestions to number of compartments, trapping method (non-ets) etc. Ideas & suggestions most welcome, so I can get some plans set in my mind !! Cheers, Folks. Paul.

You sure you didn't take any drink Mick ?? ;D ;D ;D ;D

R.I.P

A Christmas Carol, preferably the Patrick Stewart version or Alastair Sim. Saw a modern version the other night with Ross Kemp..not bad at all.

Had a great time with family. My daughter & her fiancee are here for the holiday..and brought their 3 dogs to add to our 3 !! Christmas Eve was brilliant. All of us spent the morning in our big kitchen ( suitably decorated ) cooking turkey, preparing veg for Christmas dinner, making mulled wine, music on with me and wife having a waltz. 5 humans, 6 dogs...great atmosphere, and having snow still outside with foggy & frosty day...looked the part. Can't wait 'til next year. Content and happy....... so very, very happy. I sincerely hope all your celebrations gave you the same feeling, and then we know, we got it right & presents are a minor consideration.

My main priorty is good, and I mean good ventilation.......suits both birds and fancier.

NO !! Good birds, contentment, patience, observation, understanding, open minded, comon sense and to master the 'art' of feeding. These are just a few of the attributes you need to make a mark.

FALCONRY !! North American Red Tail called Jenna.

Then get on your bike, pedal like blazes and head for the setting sun!!!! ;D ;D ;D
