Roland Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Hopefully 8 pairs doing both South and North Rd. Shalln't of course go to the races till May. Make sure I'm not in the averages, and better weather. Long Averages obviously. Many are still only up to 12 pairs to race and many no stock birds of course. That must be the way to go when every bird competes for a perch and nest box. When the 3 -4 year old are looking over their shoulder regards making room for the up and comers. Mind the family has to be built and hone first. Seems mostly the better fanciers. Seems also that it is 'Feather Merchants' today that send hoardes... and sell of the culls at seasons end lol ;D ;D
