Goodbye to everybody

[Speedy Ste]

Hi all, just want to say goodbye to everybody on Pigeon Basics, as I am living the sport due to health reasons. :'(  It's been a lot a fun and a great honor to be on this site, and I am gutted that I have to pack them in, during my short period in this sport, which I will sadly miss!  A big thank you to everybody who has helped me out, with my questions etc.  Good luck and best wishes to you all ;D

 

All the best

 

Steve.

Steve you do not have to leave the sport just because you have to give up keeping pigeons. My friend had to give up keeping pigeons but he still races pigeons and gets great fun out of it. Just get some friends to breed you a couple of young birds and enter them in a one loft race. You can log on to the one loft race web site everyday and see where the bird had finished in training it is like having a race every day. My friend says he gets more fun out of it than when he raced himself.

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

good decition mate and i sure if you start up again i can sort you out with something

[paddymac]

Sorry to hear you have to leave the sport Steve, i'm sure you'll miss the birds :'( :'( but at least you can still enjoy all the banter on here :)

[Speedy Ste]

Yeah thats true   I have to jack them tho as the crap in the loft, was getting on my chest, when it came to cleaning the loft out!.  Doc say's it might be something to do with the droppings etc.  I started getting chesty when cleaning the loft out even when I wore a mask!  The doc said it was best to pack them in, as my chest will only get worse!  I could keep them, but I could only keep a couple, in a rabbit sized hutch! as this would min the cleaning out etc, but I don't see the point, because if you gonna race birds, then you gonna need a team of birds, i.e a loft full ;D to make it worth while.  I suppose I have to make do with the banter on here, and putting up with you lot!! lol  Thanks again everybody.

 

Regards

sorry to here of your health probs steve,, glad your staying on the site , maybe try a one loftrace as p,s says youll still get great interest , anyway lets hope your health improves thats the main thing,, best of luck   :)

[Speedy Ste]

Thanks Jimmy mate, it's just so frustrating with all the time and money I have spent, in getting set up etc, then after a few months of being in the sport, and just getting ready for this season, my chest started to play up, and then am told I will have to pack them in :'( >  The loft cost me a fortune.  I suppose I will have to make do with a couple of Owls am thinking of buying.  Hopfully I don't get the same probs with the Owls, as I have done with the Pigeons!!  Just have to see how it go's when there are ready   I will keep everyone informed, and I will post some pic's of them, when I get them ;D

 

Regards

Sorry to hear of your chest problems Steve, I was getting a lot of breathing problems made worse because I have Asthma damaged lungs so I bought an Aircap filtration face mask. It made all the difference, now I use a normal mask at all times, only resorting to the Aircap when doing excessive work in the loft. It worked for me, I even went to Blackpool this year (no mask) with no ill effects, I last went 24yrs ago and suffered badly. I think my lungs must have become less susceptible over the years.

Nothing in having 12 - 24 or more rabbit hutches, great for the wind through to get rid of all Dust! Kieth Mott has done the very same I believe.

Likewise that great name national winner from Derby.... can't recall hios name for love or money at mo ... But he had a circle of poles with a Rabbit hutch (Nest Boxes) on top of each pole. When one cock bird went up, they all went up, likewise the hens... as soon as one landed they all did, and by golly did they  jealously protect their box... Good luck any way Steve and wish you every sucess and happiness whatever yu decide as a new venture.
