youngsters sometimes take an interest, but appart from a few drift away, my g/son has been into my pigeons since a tot but he is 12 now and its all football, has a look occassionally but not much now, keeping pigeons involves too much time and work now for the younger ones, they like just pressing buttons etc and things happening, and even although they come in at some stage they meet the young lady of their life and that takes up a lot of their time and makes a change to their life, then the big change comes when they settle down to their own home, and i think in all those changes pigeons take a back seat if any, as they cost time and money,
