Amazing

Truly amazing.

I agree 100% as often spouted .. ok and a lot more.

 

Quote '...……… What amazes me more is that they constantly moan about the same things year in year out but never make any intelligent approach to solving them, they use the same methods year on year and get the same results.

 

Many fanciers appear to have problems with their YBs now. You cannot expect a sick pigeon to perform, when under the same circumstances humans would be in bed on medication! Nor does it make sense not to, or attempt to. Find out the cause rather than have to treat.(I say Better still think why! then Because Roly).

 

In my opinion going clinical, as I said 40 years ago was a big mistake, nothing ruins the immune system faster, preventative medication also ruins the immune system, animals have to overcome health problems to improve the immune system.

 

Keeping expensive stock pigeons on preventative medication has also not helped covering up potential health problems which are then passed onto their offspring who are treated the same, until you come to those that are actually raced, several miles down the road from actual healthy pigeons.

 

But then why worry if you can send your pigeons down the road and complain, complain, complain????????.

 

If not so surreal one would laugh eh!

 

He also wrote which I endorse 100%

 

' ….I feel pigeons are lost for a number of reasons, firstly they are not

good enough in the first place, they have been subjected to artificial treatment and are not healthy, dehydration in the transportation, raptors, weather conditions, treated like robots etc;

 

But if one fancier can have 90% returns it cannot just be luck, one should look at the methods of those that do not lose their pigeons every year.

 

It is far easier to ruin a first class pigeon than get the best out of a lesser one.

Spot on

Remember, if one can improve a bad pigeon 20%, it will still be bad after a good one has been improved 20%!

This rubbish about making a pigeon better to be a location would only work if the other location only flew lesser pigeons and no 'Good' to 'Exceptional' Flyer BECAUSE they get the best out of their pigeons also …

Most like the races that they have prepared for.
