9 months out of the loft

[billy_g]

i suppose everyone has had a bird come home like this, lost as a youngbird on its 3rd race otterburn 84 miles then decides to come home 9 months later its been living rough ,but what makes it get up and go after all that time ,it was reared late febuary so was only 5months old when it was lost its been away longer than i had it , i suppose thats racing billy

[Guest]

hi billy, this has never happened to me, so can i ask what condition its in, as pigeons are treated for a array of things like canker, sorry if its a daft question, im just interested

[billy_g]

the bird was in good condition  when it came home apart for the feathers they were well frayed ,treated her with a 3 in 1 kept her away from the rest of the birds for 7 days now she,s out flying back to normal , now comes the question do you give her a chance or in the bin

[Guest]

got to give her a chance, i think it will be interesting to see what she dos,

[Guest]

When you have a bird come back from months in the wild treat it like gold!! It won't want to get lost again in a hurry!!

[Guest]

Had a hen do exactly the same as yours many years ago frayed flights the lot,came back in may. Mated up right away and was looking good 2x 20mile tosses and then in June flew 220m + 270m +290 mile races. Honestly could'nt tell you the number of times that hen fkew the channel.

 

Guess what my advice is?

if you have the room my advice is to give her a try If you are leaving her till next year she will need well trained before she goes, might be worth it might not but there is only one way to find out!
