AMAIZING

hi all

9 months ago i bred a few late breds, broke them out round my house and had them flying well round the house but NEVER trained them until a few weeks ago.

any way 6 months ago a mate of mine come round from brighton and pick a cock out from these late breds and asked if he could borrow it so i said yeh bring it back ones u have finished with it.

so today when i had the cocks out this pigeon come folding out the sky and claping round the house i thought il keep an eye on u u could be my pool pigeon this weekend any way as they hit the loft i thought thats the pigeon i gave to my mate down in brighton which is around 70 mile away, so i rang him and he said yeh 1 did get out but he wasnt sure which 1.

just goes to show how some pigeons never forget where they live he had been locked up for 6 months and sitting 2 youngens and never been trained.

;D ;D ;D

Nice one Ace... but it never amazes me how surprised and amazed fanciers seem to be when the likes of happen. A great national flyer was the same to me when he mistakenly put a yearling untrained with the others and sent it 50 miles and it homed! I was really in stitches as I'd send a y/b that and think nothing of popping it into a 100 odd mile race that week - end. He takes his 3 miles each direction ... well actually 300 yards each direction to basket climate them, But he is a class act, and far far better flyer than I'll ever be!.

I read a great article vie John Wills - when Rose was flying with him. I would be glad to copy and send to any one. Some folks have sent the birds first Toss ever to Pau when two years old!
