Guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Still no bird , has there been a lot of birds not home ? Hopefully she will return for her birthday next sunday . Is there going to be a party ;D
willow Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 what do you think with a special bird cake ....mmmmmm its a thought .if she gets home ,my friend is hopeful she will , but now it's my fault i put her to the race in the first place ! can't win clockman .
willow Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 well redrocket ,don't think that would go down with ma baby ,you pigeon men should celebrate getting your pigeons back with a big party ,but seen that all you all do is bicker like old women ,i don't think that would be possible ...however being a novice to the sport i have an open mind in this world of men ! and make exceptions for you all ..........
willow Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 An update ,no willow still , i have now given up any hope of her return .......But i did help take down a pigeon loft of 24feet yesterday ,today think i will give up pigeon's altogether knackerd from the lifting ,should i stick to fishing ....mmmmm it's a lot easier ! less bickering and more enjoyable and something to eat at the end of it .
Guest stb Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 a lot easier ! less bickering and more enjoyable and something to eat at the end of it . sounds like you should take up fishing then.

willow Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 I do fish , i fish with the Scottish fly fishing coach, who is also a Scottish champion fisher ! I never do anything by half stb...When i want to learn a new sport ,i learn from the best ....so i fish with the best , clay pigeon shoot with the best , and thought i would try live pigeon's , with the best of course !.......So iv'e coverd them all with the best i know .Pigeon's though is something that you have no control over as when you let them out ,its with the god's if they come back , no matter how good they are it seem's .I have had some encouragement from a few good pigeon men , so i am thanking them ,but i don't think my phobia is cured quite yet , so who know's , if she comes back i will wait and see .

THE FIFER Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hello , i am also a new commer to pigeons , infact i was always frightend of them , until i met a guy who races them and listening to him is facinating and seeing him handling the birds so gentle .Anyway i have a baby bird away to the race in France and i hope she will get back , she went away to the last race in belgium and came back , so i am hoping she will make it back , not too botherd if she doesnt make good time as long as she gets home , i am very excited about clocking her in whenever the race starts over the weekend . I think i might havea winner , i will let you know how she does .All the way back to Dundee . how old is the baby bird, and did you get it back, hopefully
