    newbury is a sprint for some fanciers ,to me in central scotland its 334 i think  ive put the same blue hen the last 3 years getting 123,166 and 234 open newbury,ive had a few good men in front of me and all the best to them all but we still need the inland national it gets birds fitter for the longer races 400+ some one is got to win the newbury race whether it be a sprint or long distance bird they deserve it

    when i wanted to move my birds from my mums to my own house, i thought that i would have problems,but within 6 weeks my neighbour that had very serious doughts about pigeons had changed his mind, on asking why he said that he could not belive that someone could have so much control over his birds, and that was 3 years ago and he would still say the same today .[cant beat the good old whistle it works wonders] just shows you if you try things can turn in your favour

    will you take the jab for swine flu?..or will you leave it up to fresh air clean water and tlc?..

    adeno virus is called because thats what it is...a virus. fresh air dont cure nowt! nor does fresh water..medication cures viruses...ask your doctor! ask your vet! ask anyone who has been very ill recently with a virus and ask wether they think fresh air and water would have cured them. :)

     

     

     

    dont need the swine flue jab as us scotts are a bit special, but the birds just need no antibiotics the more you give the more damage you do , better the devil you know mate

    same poster would have us believe pigeon flew 700 mles over water to norway.                                                                                                                              I take it that johno doubts bruno had a pigeon reported in  norway being in the same club i can assure him he did the bird landed on an oilrig it was taken to the mainland and was due to be picked up by a fellow club member when scotland were playing norway, but alas it now lives a happy life in its new home
