Never paint nest boxes IMO, I don't even like nest boxes made from new wood

I can't comment in channel racing as I race north road, but if say your problem would lie in your feeding preparation. What exactly are you feeding and at what times of the week?

Well done pete

It's a confidence thing....they will venture out at there own free will...if you follow a routine and open em up same time every day they will eventually explore.

its nice to see a terrific pigeon at the distance that is a multiple performer, they come few and far between, even better when they look cracking like this cock does.

Had the pleasure to be asked to photograph a London Hall Of Fame Winner this afternoon, which is a prestigious prize for any pigeon with 3 results in the top 50(previously top 100) of the London North Road Combines race from Thurso 500 plus miles.

East London got told dead north wind, and a laindon based fancier got told light north. Wind all over the place be interesting race.....good luck my old mucker hope you have a cracking race

This year the young birds seem more mature and advanced at an excelled rate, IMO it could be a problem, I don't like young birds too advanced too young.

Describe your last fart, using only a movie title!

In my opinion, one of the best flyers in London and the South East area M. Connolly & Son, do not train as many will do and they haven't done for roughly 8 years. The only training the birds receive is roughly 30 meters from the lofts, on a green across the road from the family home. This is obviously only used to school the pigeons to trap.

Don't know about vallium but the noose is ready in place!

Not pure Stassaerts but Stassaert based F. Dawkins & Son of Canning Town

A very wise move mate especially in the racing season

The question for you guys would be this as Peter stated "there is down on the floor within 24 hours". Now is their down dropping rapidly because the garlic is improving their health and condition in 24 hours, I'd be inclined to say no. The down would be falling because the birds do not like the taste of what is in the drinker. Do a test take water away from your birds for 24 hours the findings would be the same an abundance of down fall. I am a fan of garlic btw and a regular user

Look in lovely nick, Pete what's the big wattles Blue Chequer cock bottom box?

Night shift is Better then being come'd across though Pete!!!!
