If its a sunny day i put 12 in each crate, i only keep a few so takes little time, then i shower them for 15 minutes, they love it, and are safe from hawks while they dry off.

The public dont give a toss about pigeons, racing or otherwise, so will make one saying.... HAWKS KILL ALL SONGBIRDS

Great post!!!, took me back in time, oh happy days.

Used to hunt them with terriers and lurchers a few years back, health wont allow me to nowadays, and am well fenced of, if ever one got in the back garden it wouldn't get in twice

Had one in the front garden two days ago, got a pair in the bramble patch in the orchard that have had cubs for the last two years,never been a problem to the birds...touch wood !!!

I sent a last years Dutch ring that the owner didn't want back, to 'Blue boy' on this site who collects rings. The ring was full of cracks, and i thought at the time..i hope our 2010 rings are not going to be like this.And they are, im sure Blue boy will verify that they are crap

20, If what i got left by Dunbar NRCC and i think they are fit for it ,will go.255 miles!!!

So, whats your favourite Elvis song wings ?

He wont let no one touch them, let alone part with em

Brother in law got every record he ever made, must be worth a fortune, all as good as new.

Hey Milkyal, Hows that new loft coming along, any pics ?

Well done Fits & Chichichi, both really nice birds...micci

15 miles short for the 450 mile class, but really pleased to have taken two 3rd places in the last two shows

Gonna test clear silicone in some of mine, the same as fish tanks are held together with. Sticks well and waterproof.

I cant imagine that we would be allowed to snip them off and still race them, perhaps someone will come up with a blank to put in them, as they are,' i think theres a good chance of them snagging on fishing line etc. when the birds go down for a drink.

Got my NRCC rings a few minutes ago, dont like the lugs on them !!!

Vallance;Is that Brian from Cleethorpes who as just packed up the courier job, met him a few times, salt of the earth

Its a pity we dont get a short race every other week, would be ideal.

Yes i think Kev will keep North for the time being, he was here for a few hours just before Christmas and never mentioned going on the South Route...

Will keep North for this year as i like the NRCC races, although i think the Midlands National will see the local fanciers getting good open positions
