Guest strapper Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 my birds have been flying very well around the loft,and have been on open holes most days for the last two-three weeks..when im in..otherwise locked away. they will gladly do an hour around the loft going off and whatever. this coming week they will have training tosses 3 times a week for the next two-three weeks 20mls...maybe 4 days. since ive started back in the last 3yrs ive not been able to give 100% to the birds but still manage to score in club and the fed...to be honest i dont think my heart is in it as it was...but then i ask myself...what else would id be doing to give me stress like the birds do! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Roland Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Have a loverly Blue Cock bird. Back in sparkling form.... Loft fit wise. The one that I got back from that disastrous Thurso smash last season I posted a couple of days ago. Well he is driving. Very very keen.... A 100 odd miles. Yes he could go straight in. Be about 10 - 15 minutes behind .... If been trained and done some mileage under his wing would I send him :-/ Only if there was a good reason to. Not in averages now, no money - which not interested in anyway - to be won. So why would I want to send him. Yes for the buzz of racing... Folly that I feel. Will be driving again in 3 weeks, be a NRCC or such around then. Will have done - hopefully - some mileage and a race. Ah now that to me makes sense..... Could lose a few like our Fed did last week. Did I paid out good money to buy, fork out time effort and more money every week since just to get a worthless buzz and risk losing him and a few more :-/ :-/ :o Guess sense no, andmind must over rule the heart eh!!
Roland Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Yes I expect to lose a few this season. But don't see no point in either chucking them away, or losing some needlessly.
