I am no expert but what i would say is this ive found over the weeks ive been a member that the reason pigeon basics topics are poor is someone posts an interesting topic and becouse its not birds of pray sarcastic comments rain in on it.This forum should be bouncing theres lots of members with lots of experiences however the mix of fancy birds with racing lofts alters the panerama that is the fancy.There should be at least one topic going all the time on breeds, health, lofts, clocks, methods and other pitfalls that befall pigeon fanciers.There are fanciers who use this forum to sell.Everyone needs to improve or diversify ive no problems with any of that but lets teach those who begin learn from those who know. Eradicate illness that goes toward blighting our hobby.
