A bit cheerier today here in East Ayrshire. Broken clouds which we are actually able to see and some sky visible through them. Much calmer than the previous couple of days.
Walter, it is not Gibb's own lines, it is a supplier of chicken feed, but they also make pigeon mixes. Gibb does not currently stock the pigeon mixes and that is why I have asked William to get prices, etc.
Gibb of Galston stock non-GM grain for chickens. I have contacted their supplier and the supplier has verbal guaranteed all their pigeon mixes except one. I am now waiting on William getting prices for me. I also contacted Frasers and am waiting for them to get back to me. They are able to make non-GM mixes, but what the contents and price will be is the information that I await. Glad that a chick's view is being appreciated. I have been reading her stuff for some time now and it is very interesting.
That is what we would all want without doubt, but his pigeon was one of very few to race into Ayrshire which increases its merit. Why has distance racing become so difficult? BOP undoubtedly has a vast effect on distance racing, just the sheer number of sites which have to be manoeuvred, but I think education also comes into it. Fanciers do not have the same opportunity to educate themselves on the methods of preparing pigeons for these type of races and the pigeons do not have the similar opportunity of gaining experience, solely due to the Federation / Combine failure to provide the facility.
Seen something about this elsewhere, but it was also commented to be incorrect, so I am none the wiser. The very 'fact' that this release is available is very disturbing.
Good Charlie, but at least it confirms my suspicion that Combine type races would still educate without the complete scattering that is possible at a national race.
1 Another money making exercise. 2 We should pull them up at every opportunity. It is becoming bad when people in positions are no longer trusted to be fair and open, but in the case of RSPB which spouts so much untruths, are their members to be relied upon as remaining neutral?
You are going to have to put in an exceptional effort or you will never lose that Anderson Shield. Well done once again Robert, one year off to give the others a chance, then back to the winning ways. Were you trying something different or did you just take the foot off the pedal?
Take more than a young, handsome, debonnaire, intelligent, pipsqueak like Steven to put you down Walter, even if he does have it all going for him, after all, you are old and wisened, sorry wise. :D
