clubs cannot make a rule to over rule a rpra one fanciers did not shout when the printers came in use against the toulet it depends who was reading your toulet whether you lost 2-3 secs now with the t3s which do not vary the toulet user is losing out again as for the ets it seams to me it is the sprint men who are doing the complaining as when it comes to the distance it will make no difference as for saying to have none ets clubs they will not do very well in the fed and combine results against others using ets what are you going to do when the nationals start ? not send

are you not going to tell us what it was about?

used to have the old family of delmontes in the 70s they were very inbred and regularly bred young with web toes and i mean webbed almost full toe some of the good long distance fanciers in n.ireland got their base stock from the same fancier as i did i put the webbing down to inbreeding it does not effect the pigeon in any way outcross these birds and you will not get any with webbing

it would be nice to catch one of these b-----ds and cut his b---s off then he would know what pain was

free club system when 5 or more members buy the ets package

in holland and belgium around 65% of fanciers still use conventional clocks

hi jack lovly looking birds interesting eyesign how did they perform on the road

i leave them to relax until the next day when they can have a warm bath and can potter about the garden for a few hours then back to the normal routine

the same routine as myself except i put 2nd bowl in nestbox

sorry m8s www.angelfire.com/ga/huntleyloft/

found site about rare coloured homing pigeons Ron Huntleys Rare Coloured Homing Pigeons good imformation on recessive colours and photos as well

memories i was secretery of our club and the chairman visited my loft to see my young birds he fancied a black pied and i told him if it was still here at the end of the year i would give it to him it raced in every race lifting a few minor cards at the end of the year i give it to his son to put into his dads loft .next morning the bird was on my loft phoned chairman who said it was rubbish. following year the cock won 6 races on the trot from 185 miles to 306 miles. the chairman took some stick from the members every time i sent the black pied after that. remember a smash race and the local lofts had a lot of strays in so we decided to play a joke on hughie now hughie enjoyed a drink and as he was in the pub we put all the strays into his loft there was all colours you could think of. hughie returned from the pub and staggered up to his loft opened the door and shouted "holy jesus im in the wrong loft" we laughed about that for years

remember back in the sixies a fancier who raced yellow kirkpatricks and did realy well with them they were a light orange/yellow colour nothing like any of the photos shown

just open back door take one step and open loft door

no hurry to start training until the temperture rises 2 or 3 weeks before first race is time enough start of short 10 miles increasing to 35 miles first race 87 miles

chasing girls found out pigeons are cheaper to keep and they dont talk back

did you also see on sky news from the helicopter film at the plant for burning the carcases that a trailer full of dead birds had been left with its cover off and unattended any wild birds like starlings, magpies ect had an open invitation to pick at these birds so much for trying to curtail the spread of the decease

lisburn co. antrim

only another 10 weeks to the first race how time flies in when you are busy doing loft repairs starting the breeding season ect. i am realy looking forward to this season as i brought in a new family last year and the young bird results were promising. wishing all members the best of luck in the coming season and treat all fellow fanciers as you would like yourself treated ticeye

their birds are rung with MFC rings which i think are distributed mid november these birds that were sold at blackpool did it give a british or dutch name and address on the pedigree

longest y/bird flown by us in n.ireland is senen cove cornwall 306 miles to my loft longest inland skibereen co cork 247 miles i race from talbenny wales 193 miles all my young birds must fly in at least one of these races to winter in my loft my pedigree is the hamper

well it has started 1st stray of the year was a lovely blue pied squeaker belonging to a fancier in the same estate as me am i the first this year to get one the first but wont be the last
