I was visiting Malcolm Brown in Arrochar before the holidays. It was blowing a gale but all his birds were out, must have been 70 or maybe more. What a sight they were, really looked like they were in their element.

im in loanhead , near edin and each morning there are batches upon batches of ferals, fairly belting along , towards the country ,, of a late evening you see them returning   [maybe natures way of survival of the fittest and natures way of keeping the fat off them b4 breeding starts ] the ferals that cant keep up ,or wont keep up are left in the town to eat crisps etc , these are the ones that dont last long ,,,,,but these others are fit and get the best of feeding ,minerals, and grit ,,,,even vitamins ;D   no injections , no antibiotics [or rather  man made antibiotics, no coxoid , no wormer ] these are natures strong constitution pigeons , generations of them ,,,,survival of the fittest
