Guest Steves Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hello I've joined the forum because my wife has finally agreed to have pigeons in the garden, I used to keep a few pouters and tumblers about fifteen years ago but work commitments meant I had to pass them on.I'm a complete novice regarding racers so please excuse me if I ask daft questions.I don't have any birds yet but when I finish building my loft I'm hoping to find A few young birds.I'm in southampton and looking to join a local club.I have a block of sheds/ kennels with a flat roof and want to site a loft on the roof but wonder if an occasional barking lurcher would upset the birds, its the only space I have as I keep a few bees as well.

Guest northern monkey Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks for the welcome lads , i am in fact from Teeside but Boro not hartlepool , they did hang a monkey many years ago because they thought it might be a french spy and are known as the monkey hangers , i`m sure the badge of hartlepool rugby club is a monkey with a noose around it`s neck. i`m not sure where the term northern monkey comes from and had never heard of it until i moved south and some lad from bristol called me a northern monkey.I have lived and worked in Wales for the last 13 years and have wanted to start up with pigeons again , had them from a kid to my early 20s , i`ll be 50 next year and i`m being made redundant in november so have decided to build a loft and get a few birds, nearly started up a couple of years ago but as usual work got in the way. Theres a pigeon racing club within walking distance from my house so hope to race next year but we will see how it goes , need to do a bit of work shifting sheds ect first until i can build a loft.Looks a great site and looking forward to getting to know you lads.Cheers Andy.

Welcome to Basics, not being into rugby or history in that area I genuinely did not know the term but I am now a bit wiser so thanks for that, us Scotts think it could be the real north like Wick or Inverness If you want a good pair of whites let me know and I will breed you a pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
