Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me? I am doing some research into pigeon racers and I have some questions you may find a few a bit strange but it would be extremely helpful if you could answer, thanks.

Do you give your birds a mixture of vitamins that only you know?

If so do you have a specific or special way in which you prepare it?

How do you prepare your birds for a race, special food/vitamin mixture, lucky charms etc?

Do you go through any specific routine in readying the birds for flight?

On the Saturday while waiting for the bird, do you go through any routine in anticipation? Is there a lot of anxiety, and what do you do to calm yourself if there is?

Do you socialise with the bird, read the papers with them, talk to them, play music to them etc?

How does betting work in the pigeon club? And when this extends to federation and bigger races does club loyalty count? Meaning would you ever bet on another clubs bird and if so would you club take kind of offence?

I may have some more questions to come, thank you once again.

Thank you for your time

Many regards
