Dropped Dead ?

[greenlands]

I'been thing of putting a post on for a day or two about young birds that fly on their own away from the flock.I was watching them exercise this morning and for no reason at all the particular bird dropped from the sky as if it had been shot,not landing far from the loft I went to collect it.Not a mark on it stone dead,looks like it had a heart attack ?

Another one gone down to 21,having a bad 2012.

Had same thing happen on 3rd time of letting birds out at beginning of year a old cock had heart attack looked as fit as a fiddle , but his father had same fate , was it a sprint pigeon by chance ?????

I would say yes to sprint Mark as both parents have done best at up to 250 mile.
