[Tony C]

The sight of a contented pair of babies in the nest.

Simple answer to that for me is just being with my pigeons I love every aspect of pigeon keeping and racing, and after 55 years I'm still not sick of them.

First bird from Tarbes 634 mile

[THE FIFER]

just having them and seing the return from racing ,and everyone wants to win so as a bonus winning.

[Guest Thunder Birds]

A kit of squeekers just weaned from their parents in fresh clean straw getting to know their surroundings!

[just ask me]

the next race

[Merlin]

Getting a bird dropping in from a long one,and when the first round of youngsters step out of loft for first time.

[Roundo]

Having had pigeons for a good number of years I always look forward to the very 1st egg hatching of a new breeding season.

In saying that, seeing your 1st bird on race days certainly gets the adrenalin going.

 

There's so many good things about this great sport of ours!!!

 

[Guest spin cycle]

i enjoy the hour after you've clocked your first...as the rest drop in ....hopefully(dizzy)

[Peckedhen]

Ooh, it's a hard choice....each and every egg hatching is a delight but, it is also a thrill to have them arrive back when I have taken them away from home.

 

The downside for me is waiting for them to come back, I am 'on pins' till each and every one is safely back in the loft.

                   Would be to see the  Mickie B Trophy again.

[OLDYELLOW]

my favourate is breeding the multitude of colours even tho i know what they may possible breed they can suprise you now and again , but i just love the time i spend with them nowt better than having the birds flying in the sky on a nice afternoom with a beer in your hand   greatest moment was having only bird on day from 512 miles not topped it yet can still rember the winner gliding in straight to his box

[Wiley]

for me the biggest delight, is breeding winners for others,  

[grizzal]

Weaning the YBs  and sitting in the garden with my grand children getting them tame.

Thats the YBs not the G/Kids ;D ;D

[Guest bigda]

just watching the different characters of them all  and  seening  the  cocks  antics when his hens laid,      i am sure  i have seen a smile from them ;D

[PATTY BHOY]

everything to do with pigeon racing

[doo]

Racing:- Topping fed  out of 3000 birds then finding out bird had also topped combine 5000 birds

 

Breeding :- a bird this year for my wee mate Alec Sharpe that won twice & was consistantly in the 1st two or three birds home to his loft, also takes tickets in show pen.

 

 

Biggest disappointment not being able to keep pigeons or any bird due to PFL .....only 42yrs old along time without the sport I love.

[alex wight]

Support: the support i gained when at my lowest ebb

 

Loft: getting my 2 new lofts to start again

 

birds: All the offers i had of birds to get me going again.

 

Sport: getting back into the sport that i have learned to love.

 

Breeding: seing my future team start their new lives.

 

Racing: Taking part, with the occasional ticket.

 

The biggest delight i have had in my short time, is being 8th and 12th open from Maidstone.

Don't know, but still have fond memories of a fellow that had pigeons all his life. The day he was born his day kept pigeons so ...

Any way he never won a race. Was a great fellow, wife a nagg and pain in butt. But guess he was happy... nagged forever to get shot of his pigeins etc.

Any roads knew he was soon going in a bugalow, help home really with the dragon.

Season before he went, last racing season a mate helped him with hois birds and trained them etc. etc.

You guessed it he not only won the Blue ribbon from Lerwick but also the Fed with the only bird in race time. To see how proud he was was a treat, and a nicer, happier man there wasn't! Still feel warm when i remember him. Herbie from Findon.... What a story, one couldn't have wrote a it!

[DOVEScot]

Watching 100 white birds circle the houses and area first thing and see them all come back in as soon as Chickadee calls them

 

[kirky]

just going out to the birds everyday.

[tomm1e]

 

seeing a super fit widowhood cock ripping through the

sky exerting every muscle and fiber in his body to cover the final few hundred

yards to get home to his mate.

[Lennut Tar]

just going out to the birds everyday.

 

That's about it etc (smile smile), "I call it my dream time". Just to sit in my yard here etc looking down on my lofts & the birds & then watch them do all their antics, as they fly out over the valley. At my age, it's just Magic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as far as I'm concerned now & being who I'm (wink wink) I ask for nothing more in life.

Enjoy.
