Last race which is a Combine race out of Witton Castle for most London feds this weekend.

Give Gem a bell, have been told they deliver if you order enough. http://www.gemsupplements.com/shopcart/index.php

With my youngest daughter just dropping a bombshell that she's getting wed this coming March all my plans have been abandoned which may even include not racing next year. Happy sad.

Happy Birthday

Eureka! The snail had to cross the road to get home..................... the chicken was stalking the snail

Surely there has to be another explanation!

Not a cloud in the sky here, w/s/w wind.

I can see him screaming and kicking as he's been dragged out of the toilets when he's time's up.

Yep! 8 weeks in the Joint for smoking 1

Pigeons basketed up 6:15am and now on they're way for a 45 mile training toss.

As Wiley, have them paired up for the first race or two then put them on w/hood. I say this because we seem to get a run of N/Easterly winds early on in the race season, yearlings are best left at home on these days.

England have beaten Pakistan by 5 wickets at Headingley this coming Sunday.

Sent you a PM hopalong

The only drawback I can think of is the restriction of sunlight hitting the pigeons.

Being pitch black works as well as anything else.

Orrible! training weather it is not.

Have 38 from 41 after 7 races out to 191 mile.

If you want a couple of pair of y/birds next year to help to get you started drop me a PM, Best of luck

If you put any type of mixture in one of these you'll find they'll scatter more food on the loft floor than they actually eat. Best used with single grains but still not ideal.

Personally I don't think it makes any difference at all. A daft fact: Owls are the only birds that can see the colour blue!

The so called professionals in the game know a lot of pigeons can be sold on the strength of young bird results. I might be looking at it wrong but for me 1 old bird win is equal to that of 2 young bird wins. If I had a magic wand I'd put a system in place that would reflect this, maybe double the amount of points for old birds that score. Yes too much emphasis is put on young bird racing.

Can you see them exercising or do they go away for an hour then return? If they come and go theres nothing to worry about but if they disappear for the hour they could be fielding then consequently you may have a problem.

You may not be racing old birds next year but you should turn up on marking nights. Show them your willing to do your bit and whilst there put as many pigeons through as you can. By handling these pigeons you'll get a feel of type, condition, racing weight etc. taking note of the feel of the top flyers pigeons.
