[Guest bigda]

at 6 year old was given  a red checker that had won the rose bowl  from  avranches to tread all the hens in  my shed,   the birds i had then a mixture of factory type, bridge type

and having to carry a bag of feeding 1/6d 1/2 stone  it felt like a bag of feeding then

carrying it for 2mile home with out the a-rse of it  falling out if wet ;D ;D fun though

[harky]

a was that young i cant remember but when my dad caught me in his loft i had his young birds trapped in a corner and was hitting them with a stick, since then i have had an interest in pigeons

[George UK]

i was 9 when i first stated i am now 51 13 of may i sold my first bird for £5.00 that was a lot of money and the bird still came back

i never wanted to sell it but the chap dogged me for it

i am still learning all i can say is always spend tine with the birds they alway tell u somthing

more time u spend with them the better

u learn the way they roar and walk fly ect

i know what thay gonna do before they do it lol

oops i talk to much

have a great night all

[grizzal]

I was 6 when i first got the birds,did not start racing till i was 16.

before i started racing used to go and watch van roberts dads birds come home.

now i am getting my granddaughter and grandson to help,hopefully it will rub

off on them :)
