Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 top canadian guy was 12 place, he also has a bird in 74 place so he has 2 birds in top 100 i wonder what his birds will sell for,
Lennut Tar Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 top canadian guy was 12 place, he also has a bird in 74 place so he has 2 birds in top 100 i wonder what his birds will sell for, The thing that intrigued me with this race etc "Was" 5000 to 5500 birds at the start of the season 1500 at the finish ???????? a lot of money down the drain there for some reason !!!!!!! & it took them quite a while to get them home, one could say. "Management System" ????????? Maybe they had better shorten the race distance again !!!!!! to get a few more home, to keep everyone happy. Enjoy.
Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 i know! i know people who sent the best YB they had and both guys lost ALL of their birds in training. how long is the longest race?
cricketer Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 how do they know it was the best young bird they had?
jimbobboy Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 Jimbobboy says': If you were paying out that kind of money for entry and a perch fee I wouldn't be sending dogs! so to speak!!!!! Those races cost and arm and a leg would you not send a half or best bird?

Those races cost and arm and a leg would you not send a half or best bird? i agree if your going to send bird's in one of the best one loft race's in the world then you will definatly be breeding the out of the best bird's you have

Guest MBpigeonguy Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 and if you breed from your best birds. and you race them in local races you will exepect good results from them, ok here is a exemple! you breed YB from your 2 best breeders send them to a local one loft race and obviously do well!!! becouse they are from your best breeders. and if you breed good birds from your best breeders you will keep hem to race in club races and do really well. i mean noone ever losses their best birds. not around here. and no if you send your best birds to SA and they get lost after a few training tosses why!!!! i mean if they get 7 500 of them best birds around why are so many good birds lost? they should be the best, ok one guy in winnipeg buys they birds birds in canada and the best in America he can and he pays Thousends of dollers. and he wins alot of club races and one loft races then in 2006 he sends his best YB to SA and in the first race it places 150 place thats good!!! out of 7 000 now in the nest training flight it gets lost along with his nest mate and the other birds from winnipeg!!! why. and this really happend. the bird was called Blue diamond,
cricketer Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 guys,get a grip..if livestock were that simple the richest guys in the world would win everything,they would just have to buy the best racers and breeders. i know a realy famous fancier in holland who out of the same pair bred 2 years in a row pigeons to finish top ten in there big yb national race and this year he had ten from said pair and all were lost in 3 races. livestock dosent work that way.
