owen101 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Posted February 16, 2010 an old pigeon looked good though GB 03 x red with a light head
pigeonpete Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 used to do it all the time when i first started mate, And always reported them, Got mixed reactions, but did pick up an old 1 once, cant remember exact details mate, but had won at least twice, and had been living in the town for 2 years, the guy had him came and collected him!!! Dont do it anymore, got some strange looks, even a woman told me to stop stealing pigeons!!! lol. onced i had explained she was o.k. But dont fetch them into your own loft mate, As you dont know what they might be carrying, or how long they been there, But if your adamant keep it seperated, and get it tested, and treated accordingly, You never know what might become

Roland Posted February 16, 2010 Report Posted February 16, 2010 Remember a fellow caught a cracking mealy in Trafalger Square. First off got it settled and thought he'd transfer it. Mated and settled... first toss disappeared. Yep was back in Trafalger Square. Like I say, Wills and his mate Dick rung any Blacks on the Gas Silo's. He set of winning a few y/b races.... over the next 4 seasons set the place alight ... and sold to a well known stud when he packed up.
