BUT IT IS FULL TIME -realy demanding on time and money,if you are expecting to be out of action for some time with your ticker then try a hobby you can pick up and put down when you want.if you still fancy watching the pigeons come home go to a local fancier and ask to help him /her,after a short time you will realise that you need time to keep pigeons and race them -train them -breed them and clean them out as well as keeping them healthy andlook at the BOP situation in your area as you are going to be the new mcdonalds for them. if after all of this you still want to keep pigeons then join the rest of us idiots who enjoy our sport of RACING PIGEONS.
