greenlands Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Pigeon racing isn't what it used to be,I was one of the lucky ones at the weekend regarding losses I didn't send and intended to send this weekend coming. There's always something to upset the apple cart. Let my young birds out at 07:45 watched them for a while as I had already cleaned them out,came in to make a cup of coffee when I went out there wasn't a bird in the sky.Naturally thought they'll be away for a half hour or so. ???? nearly 10:00 there's two.So if you see thirty youngens please point them in the right direction.Had enough,no fun in the game.Pissed off sitting looking through the window,living in hope and I must say very little hope. Lindsayexpletive remove.What next.
OLDYELLOW Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Chin up mate weathers crap hell of a lot of strays about , I'm sure they'll turn up
greenlands Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Not a cloud in the sky here Mark,don't get a lot of strays in this area since the Scottish lads started to fly a different route.?????
blackdog Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Not a cloud in the sky here Mark,don't get a lot of strays in this area since the Scottish lads started to fly a different route.????? they will be back m8, mine flew 2 hours this morning, loads of flocks of young about this morning, all experience
andy Burgess Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 the days still young , hopefully they will work in Lindsay .an old hand told me when i first started , "just dont worry about the ones that are away ,look after those at home",ive had to remind myself that every season since .
Guest ghenty Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Hmmmmm, hopefully not a fly away. Fly aways really confuse me?? Why do they happen? Good luck Lindsey. John

blackdog Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 17 back now mate,looks like that will be it for today. plenty time yet mate, if percy's been amongst them and it looks that way, then a few will be hiding until nearly dark
sapper756 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 17 back now mate,looks like that will be it for today. Things are looking up Lindsay, more will turn up yet m8http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/animatedpigeons.gif
THE FIFER Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 gets to you Lindsey but keep at it, they will turn up, looks like they may have got in with trainers so good those making their way back m8, hope you get more, dont think you will have any trouble with those making it back, all the best m8,
greenlands Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Posted May 21, 2012 Hi Fifer,very few trainers go over this area,only getting each bird back on it's own I would suspect a BOP attack,I didn't see it happen but would have thought 32 youngens going amiss two's and three's would return together ?Just my thoughts. Lindsay
just ask me Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 be a few more there in the morning stick with it
Poppy Loft Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 Any more Lindsay? I had 21 go the same as yours today, still waiting on 4.
greenlands Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 Just confirm my thoughts on the loss of the young birds,noticed when a young cock came down for a feed he had some tail feathers missing,as I thought Percy must have scattered them.22 back 10 missing ??
