Honest Mistakes/Regrets

[chickadee]

Our main regret is losing our good friend Billy McKechnie and the sadness that caused we never got round to racing this year. Looking forward to next year and racing in his memory and wishes that we will carry on

I regret not enjoying my pigeons as I used to,

Mistakes? we all make em, the winners make less thats all.

Mistakes .... Thinking I could start back up where I left off 7 years ago when packed up, it don't work like that :-/

Lessons learned .... (1) Walk before you run...... (2) Buying quality rather than quantity.... (3) Practising what I preach .... (4) having the ability to be self critical.

Regrets .... Losing good birds by being impatient.

only a couple of mistakes breeding to many youngsters and not having hardly any loses and sending to the wrong combines and perhaps if im going to be critical of my self messing my feeding up a couple of times

Had a good young bird season but the old birds was a poor showing.

 

Biggest mistake was thinking that I can beat lads flying widowhood and roundabout all the time with natural pigeons. You can if you get everything right but you have to pick your races.

 

Its roundabout for old birds next year.

Disposing of a stock cock which it has now come to light as being a bad mistake... trade off between patience and a small loft.

[Guest j v ward]

mistake seending all my y bird team to the first race it was a bad race for returns

[gangster]

the only mistake i regret is being honest with a certain member who has since tried to make me look like i lied but i was honest with him more honest than he is in what he claims his birds are....saddo.......

mistakes i made loads  not getting on top of rat prob earlier. messing about with roundabout system ie  leaving them together 1 wk then splittin them up again poor birds didnt know whether they were coming or going. and being over confident . well had big kick up the rear no wins this yr. only thing i got right was stopping my younguns after 5 races cos they where fallin to bits they look fab now

The thing about making mistakes is that you learn from them; I have already decided to change my working hours next year during the racing season, this years routine didn't suit me or the birds. Just keep tryin, and you will get it right ... sometime
