pigeons on tv?

[Guest]

are there any programmes u know/have heard of, that maybe coming onto the tv in the near future? wouldnt it be great if a company put , say...monthly round up of pigeon racing in diffrent area,s or fortnightly.

think a series on sky(disscovery home and leisure) could be the way....paul

there have been progs. in the past about fanciers and their pigeons,, as you say that would be great ,, i think a prog. letting the public know of the birds of war and dicken medal winners ,,and their stories [about the thousands of soldiers they saved ] and about the queen keeping pigeons , famous people keeping pigeons [like speck ;D ;D] etc   all would be a good beginning to have the public educated about these racing pigeons and the miles they fly ,to a small loft in the back garden ,,then try for what you say , theres never anything to lose by trying

i think the programme about derick nichols and his gambling trips connected to pigeons painted us all as gambling freaks, which i thought there should have been a different approach shown,it should have been on one hand the money to be made with the likes of europa, and the other side of the ordinary person with a backyard loft caring and rearing his pets,im not saying that the likes of europa are wrong ,just that i wanted personally the programme to make an impact with the public that pigeons can be fun and are not the scrawny disease looking birds that are around the towns...paul.
