if you had to have???

[chubs]

1 or 2 books relating to pigeon racing which ones would they be & why?

[Hogni]

101 methods by Jules Gallez, yes maybe a bit old but what i like about it is that you find very much common sense in it, cheap and simple ways to improve yourself as a fancier and cheap and simple ways to improve your birds health etc.

[Guest TAMMY_1]

Pigeons For Everyone  by Douglas McClarry is the one I have, probably about one of the most informative books there is, everything you basically need to know

[Merlin]

My own notes,being a scribbler regarding the birds,writing it down as I went along,over the years,reading back on these notes at anytime, gives me most  everything now,laughter,constant contradictions, constantly trying to put images/ appearances,colours/ to sometimes only numbers,and those I can recollect,their ability,their final demise, joys and disapointments in abundance over fifty years of racing and breeding our feathered friends,to a non pigeon fancier,it would surely read in some form of cryptic code,to me all pigeon life is there,and a good deal of my own is also here, oh yeah,still scribbling..

[TERRY JOHNSON]

"THE COLLECTED WORKS OF OLD HAND" volumes 1 & 2, only for distance racing of course.

[Guest IB]

I thought Colin Osman's 'The Racing Pigeon'   gave the beginner a great introduction to most aspects of both looking after, breeding and racing pigeons. Well written, easy to read and great value too at around £7.

Hogni !!!!!!! I will endorse your views here 100% (Top Books) But the thing that amuses me, every time I read them etc. Is all the spelling mistakes in them

(No spell check) in those days  ;D ;D ;D Quite extraordinary !!!!!! & I just wonder at times. How they were ever allowed to go to print. Maybe ??????  ;D ;D ;D they just thought, us silly old pigeon flyers. Would never notice.

Well !!!!!!! I did, along with many others I presume.

M. Monsees, Cadoxton - Barry. Glamorgan. Great Britain. Still !!!!! I like to be fare & reasonable in my posts here. So we will just say ?????   ;) he had a leg stretched across "The Pond", in both countries, & leave it at that.

Enjoy.

loft stock & barrel and the way with hens

by barry mcnicholas

[Guest chrisss]

a old book that my father in law had in his time by a guy called lt corby my choice 101 methods

[ch pied]

the four season's , i liked the most

[MsPigeon]

"The Flying Vet's Pigeon Health Management" by Dr Collin Walker and

"A Veterinary Approach to Pigeon Health" by Dr David Marx

These are a couple of my favorite and most read and used books, but I haven't looked at the new books on the market for a couple years, there is mostly more or better ones. The most important thing for a beginner to remember is without health you have nothing.

Yours in the sport.
