Friend of my husband was at work, asked his wife to time in and she had never done it before - in 25 years- 45 minutes it took her - don't know who deserved the medal - her for persevering or the bird for evading capture - she hadn't a clue - he fitted sputniks immediately after !

when we flew the natural system flying from RENNES we had a brico/sion hen that cramped up on the house roof and sat there for 14 mins

she still topped the fed but only by decimal 8 of a yard

I FIND IF U ARE GETTING THE SAME BIRDS GETTING CAUGHT EACH WEEK THEY TEND TO HANG ON A BIT BEFORE GOING IN

bang on there fifer [pays to catch them gently, i paid for that ] the bird that was out 21 minutes , verified with the crowd in the yard where i used to keep them the bird was eventualy 25 sect sartilly and won nearly 800 pounds, was beaten by one minute for full pools1,800 pounds,,,,,this bird had won 7 races and more positions and was sickened of being picked up, so , you live and learn ;D ;D ;D ;D

one time had a pigeon come home from stonehaven right early sat on the roof over an hour

In 1965 the Pau NFC were liberated in a strong SW wind with torrential rain at the home end. We were standing in the back doorway out of the torrential rain when a pigeon came into view at 6,00 pm. He landed right in the centre of the loft roof like a drowned rat. I ended up like a drowned rat after it took 25 mins to coax him to the trap. I still got 26th Open so it was worth the soaking. Incidentally I had moved earlier that year and he was a broken-off pigeon.
