I have had pigeons a while, which doesn't make one bit of difference. A good bird doesn't always work home - a mate of mine lost a old bird who flew amazing as a yb, Yearling topping the fed a few times, As a two year old he sent it it came topped the fed, The week after he sent it, Nowhere to be seen or heard of. That pigeon could be in someones loft as we speak, One day it could get out and return home... What do you do? get rid after all, It let the owner down. Ofc you don't get rid of it, You give it a chance, As you should with all pigeons, If they let you down again and again thats when you look at getting rid
