Greetings from tomorrow

[burr]

Hi Everyone,

     I’m a new guy from the other side of the world. I’m a retired American telephone man (owned my own communication business) married to a retired Pilipino banker living in Bulacan (30 miles north of Manila) the Philippines.

     I am totally new to Pigeons, my vet is going to give me a breeding pair and take me into his “racing group”, and I’ll be on my way. I have down loaded a ream of information from the net and read most of it so now I am an “ex-pert”.

     I have no idea what I am going to do just yet, lots of ideas and about ready to start building a “coop/loft” this week.

     I don’t think I want to build a room yet because it is always hot here, it does rain but mostly it comes strait down. My bother-in-laws all have pigeons but I don’t think they have any idea what they are doing as they haven’t done anything by the book and don’t even have tags.

     The two questions I have today are, how important is it to have the coop facing the morning sun and does anyone have some free plans or can someone point me to them on the net? I am going to make the loft as self cleaning as I can with just a little help from a hose.

     I think I am going to build a breeding coop, baby bird coop and a flying coop all setting beside each other.

 

All right, I have to go out but I’ll check the list when I get back. I hope I can be a part of this group and learn a lot.
