Putting Birds Back Across The Water

[slim45]

HOW SOON DO YOU THINK YOU CAN PUT A BIRD BACK ACROSS THE CHANNEL

[PIGEON_MAN]

Suppose it depends how hard the previous race was,our channell races are every fortnight so I tend to send them back after the weeks rest but then our furthest fed race is only 354 miles.

[Shortcut Lofts]

Depends on previous race and distance. Wnen our old birds hit the channel they stay on the channel for 5 races. 192mls, 192mls, 261mls, 301mls, 304mls, 448mls, over water every time. You have to look at the milage the bird has flown and the race conditions it flew in. If it was a relativley easy race they should go back.
