i know you had this prob the other week pete maybe its just the birds this time of year.

ALF i cant see its me if they are out in the garden and i shake the tin they will fly to me and land on my hand so they are tame and use to me as i alway teach them to hand feed too .

It's not down to being hand fed and tame mate it's about getting them to trap when they come and if you are nervous when they come home they sense it and wont trap

Maybe she is telling you to put yer cash on her next week, hope so.

Been among pigeons a long time,it's always the first pigeon that's  nervous,it's probably flew a fair bit on it's own,there aren't as many birds around as there usually are, just that something different will upset the bird.Unless you've got a crank,there's always one.Give it a chance mate,it's just a baby.

Spot on Teesider

[cowman]

well i`ll hold her back now till the last 2 races 111 miles and 193 and see how she comes any other time they trap as soon as i call them in . i was not nervous at all alf so why do you say that? i`m the same with my birds weather its a race day or just loft flying so would have nothing differant for them to see or sense .
