Nest? Trees?

Unusual for a woody given the very windy conditions around xmas

When i say feed it. Used as a supplement with a good moult mix. Have also used it mixed with long grain rice and hemp as trapping mix on return from race

I mix with hemp in the autumn to aid with moult

Dont know if this is any help Robert but https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=215027293006441599933.0004bf867d2fc5cd618ea&msa=0&ll=55.649699%2c-3.641968&spn=1.841207%2c3.532104

Happy bday lads Special mention for Walter, reaching 81 and past president of the fed!! Well done mate

Top stuff Lewis Always laugh at my old boy wae hair, some great characters sadly passed on but still 11 lofts in the village and still winning the odd race or trophy Thanks for the memories mate

Strawberry mealy a van reet?

Bang on Mick. Great doo when you see copshaw and Langholm at that time. Stick my neck oot and say the Lockerbie bird was a good bit in front

Is that wae everybody else Ian?

Always thought that was first chance the fancier had to aid recovery

Any thoughts on the restriction of water after returning?

Thats all that needs said on the overfly question

Think I would wait to the summer before declaring the hen barren

Cheers

Might fling my toys oot the pram for that very uncalled for statement. Whos got the number for the SNRPC lol!!!!

Wots the craic then? Are we racing frae a ship in the atlantic??

Yer missing my point JAM. Of course you cant pick out yer champs from hand BUT you can get rid of a fair bit of chaff with some knowledge?

Good lad and i will buy it aff ye lol

If you applied some kind of criteria as a novice to the birds that you are breeding would you not increase the percentage? If you handled a three month old youngster and its tail pointed to the heavens what would you do? The same if you opened the wing(or tail) and it was badly fretted?

I have one aswell but from the games in edinburgh. Will try and hunt it out. Wee mealy hen won it i am sure

So the question is Walter, what went wrong? All i am trying to point out is that breeding loads with no selection process is folly and surely any novice deserves to know that QUANTITY is *expletive removed* all without QUALITY? true?

Ye I do clear anything that is not what I want! No stockman in the world would keep anything that is not of the standard they wish??

Walter! Have ye never lost a good pigeon mate? Oot the basket?

Cheers John
