i honestly cannot see why colour would make much of a difference , i think most of the crap ya hear about white birds is like some of the old wifes tales!!hear in australia we have numerous predators for our birds, in our hot dry climate.i have raced reds,whites,grizzles and all the other colours you can think of and have not had any particular colour pin pointed by hawks ect..in fact i think the darker colours stand out a bit more?anyhow it all comes down to the quality of the birds you are flying.if you are flying with average birds and have not got them conditioned exspect the hawks to have a feild day on them....other wise they will just single out the weak ones and chase them until exaustion resulting in capture....i also see many many people flying huge numbers of pigeons these days .how the bloody hell can one concentrate on all there team...?go back to flying small teams and spend the time with your birds instead of worrying about points or bloody $$$ signs

dennis sanders a friend of mine, who i got my logans off,  his birds are on front page of BHW this week.

peckedhen also has a pair.

[Peckedhen]

My pair are thanks to the generosity of Westy and Snowy. They have just, this week, hatched a squab. They are lovely birds and are very calm - I can even catch them myself!! ;D
