Tic eye Hen Posted November 4, 2007 Report Posted November 4, 2007 Hiya, Ive been racing with my dad(very successful fancier for 50years) for three years. I do the cleaning (twice a day) the training (young and old birds) and the feeding. My dad makes the main decissions (we do argue over this mind LOL - But hey all good partenerships do!!). The young birds are my main responsibility as my dad lives for old bird racing. The thing I have learnt most from my dad is that observation and truly watching your birds is most important as you can see when they are on and off form as well as if they are ailling for something. Anyways I could rabbit on for ever about my pigeons so I go now. Great Idea Samantha!!

Leroy Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Hi guys, new member here! I've kept fancy pigeons (and a couple of non-racing racers) since I was about 14yrs old, erm...15yrs ago J*sus doesnt time fly....anyway, now only have a couple of pairs of garden fantails and one pair of modenas due to very limited space and time, but hoping to move house within next 12 months and expand again into the hobby, possibly try a few breeds ive never had before. I dont have much interest in showing, just keeping,breeding and letting them fly!!! Great forum, and great advice so far - thanks Lee
chickadee Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah welcome to the site lee, We have some fancy birds as well that we just keep as pets, yes they are georgous aren't they, hope you get everything settled within the year to sit back and enjoy. ;D
Guest Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 Welcome to the site Lee,good to see more fancy fanciers joining

bewted Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 your feeding them too much i presume as they wont come in for you,but,they should be ok till morning,just get up for them first thing,ok !!!!
THE FIFER Posted November 10, 2007 Report Posted November 10, 2007 cut down their feed, although they should still come in to their perch, maybe u have a cat or something frightening them,
