BICC Alencon

BICC Falaise 6.50am South Coast Fed Fourges 7.40am with strong SW Wind

What annoyed me was the getting away from the northern fancier type and showing an old eccentric would didn't seem to have his marbles. Lets show the new breed who are budding businessmen who will surely start getting the taxman looking into any pigeon fanciers sales from now on. Do any of you who sell pigeons report your sales to HMG?

At least they will be home before your Falaise birds Darren ;D

Falaise with the BICC ;D

Born 15th Jan mate, cocks already have their boxes and defend them against me; they will be parted this w-end but trained together. They have moulted their heads and cover feathers already and are sexually active.

Spot on Wiley, BICC yb race is their target.

The above bird doesn't have a wing stamp or race rubber so may of been lost on a training toss. Can anyone help? Tx

In the BHW 2005 Stud book there is a good article regarding living with falcons.

So sorry for you Ben > All you can do is follow all the advice regarding stopping raptors and hope it works. Good luck mate The aussie fliers use this method. The Perry Green falcon deterer is a must for every pigeon racing loft in the world. Perry Green encourages constructive interaction and tolerance between all pigeon racers and all natural predators. PARTS LIST 50mm P/P Class 12 pipe x 1.5 metres 40mm P/P Class 12 pipe x 1.2 metres 50mm P/P f/f elbows x 2 50mm P/P end cap x 1 25mm Ball shut-off valve f/I x 1 50x25mm P/P reducing bush x 1 40x25mm P/P reducing bush x 1 25mm P/P to male-iron nipple x 2 Tyre valve threaded x 1 Pressure gauge (optional) x 1 Note: P/P = Pressure Plastic ASSEMBLY The Perry Green Falcon Scarer is very simple to build. The 50mm Chamber should be cut around 1.2 metres, but can be as short as a metre and still perform well. It is a matter of preference. The barrel should also be around 1.2 metres. Drill a hole for the tyre valve and attach it to the end-cap, before it is glued in place. When all pieces are arranged, prime and glue. Let the completed cannon sit for 48 hours at least, before filling with air, to allow the solvent to set or you will risk destroying the joints. OPERATION To operate the cannon, fill the air chamber to 50 p.s.i using an air compressor of some sort. An air gauge is useful, but an ordinary tyre gauge is okay too. When pumped up, all you do is put the required projectile (a piece of fruit or a ball will suffice). Then brace yourself and turn the lever of the ball valve to the on position very quickly. Whoosh! Good luck.

Top stuff Ben, the three you bred me are already raking the sky. ;D

A big thank you to Cornwall young fancier of 2006 Ben Hammil for the three ybs he bred me; all three in excellent condition and weaned completely, fed and watered inside 10 mins. Well done Ben, your a credit to the sport
