  2. Jimmy my birds are just starting to get a bit work around the doors to get the weight off them and get the flying fit,they are doing 40/50 mins now and i will push that onto 1 hour a day thats it till three weeks before our first race then they will be trained 20/30 miles by car everyday till the first race.when racing starts they will get 2/3 tosses a week around 30 miles till they reach the 180 mile mark,then i ease off them and the racing should be enough with the odd toss during the week. carl greenhow

    what do you think

    Good topic i agree with some of the post,,,but surely going to someone local flying great with there birds tells you these birds are good for that area as they are proving that by flying well with them.I belive good proven birds should win anywhere in the country. I went to top local fanciers and got there best and these birds proved themselfs from the off,winners first nest.I have also birds from other areas of the country and fly well also.. Good pigeons will win anywhere
  11. Im about half a mile from our allotments,,,i would love to fly from home someday... ;D
  12. I have never heard of it also,,,cant be that good
  13. HOWS THE BIRDS TRAPPING NOW ??.. Got to say i dont like leaving my birds out over night even if i cant get them in,theres loads of cats around our allotment area being around lots of houses. I will try my hardest to get them in even if i have to get them in another section...

  15. Give them nothing at all to eat when you do get them in,if they do this the next day give them nothing again,,,they should be the first ones in after missing a few feeds,if they still dont go in well i wouldnt waste my time with them..
  16. The most i have ever sent is 60 ybs 2006,hit the floor when i got my bill,,,,I have set myself a limit from now on,no more than 35/40 a week Jason thats bad mate i bet you were gutted,,,was the birds fully trained
  17. Craig i have a brother and sister of Cyrils boy smashing pigeons
  18. i AGREE i would like any of my missing birds reported.I have been flying for 3 years and have only had 2 birds ever reported,and i have lost a good few birds. Theres some birds i would love back
  19. Deadly bird flu virus found in Suffolk The turkey deaths were reported on Thursday The potentially deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has been found among turkeys on a poultry farm in Suffolk, officials have confirmed. Experts were called to the Bernard Matthews farm near Halesworth, Suffolk, late on Thursday following the outbreak of an "unexplained" illness. About 2,600 turkeys are thought to have died. The EU Commission confirmed that the virus was H5N1, which has killed more than 100 people - mostly in Asia. A Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokeswoman said the risk of the disease spreading to humans was low and there was no need for "panic". She said staff at the farm - thought to be in the village of Holton - were being monitored and restrictions were in force to stop birds being moved in or out of the site. have your say Defra said there were 160,000 other turkeys on the farm. All 160.000 turkys have been culled THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS PEOPLE
