French Yb With Last Nights Alencon Pigeon

[W.D.]

Just got a reply from my mate, its from the North of France, Valenciennes, here is there contact e-mail- stephaniss59@hotmail.fr

Now thats interesting, because if you look on google earth just where it came from, our pigeons have went up the north of the country before crossing over the channel.

Wind was south west. Valenciennes is very near France / Belgium border. Maybe making for shortest sea crossing Calais / Dover? And maybe mine continued into Belgium?

That is a very strange way to go home. Must have added some distance to the race if the convoy went away north before crossing the channel.

Very difficult to say where this pigeon was picked up by the race birds it could have been roughing it for a while its got half a tail with the new feathers about an inch up and has cast 3 flights which have stopped which makes me think its being roughing it for some time.

Got a reply by e-mail it belongs to a French lady it seems, called Stephanie Herbin, she thanked me for signalling her pigeon that has found itself at your home, but she lives in France between Cambrai and Valenciennes and its a long from there. Thank you again for your kindness.

Looks like that has been the case, I e-mailed her again and the bird was lost at the 1st y/b race a couple of weeks ago from a race near Paris.

Very likely it would go back to its old loft don't you think?

 

 

NO!

[WulDon]

If he transfers it i will sell you it £100 its yours.lol

 

 

Deal done, i'll send it to tenerife!

So we feed our pigeons the best mixtures made up by experts on the continent give them supplements that make them sparkle exercise them regular to get them to peak fitness and give them a roof over there head and wait until they reach maturity and a young bird with half a tail on a poor diet and roughing it for a fortnight flys 500mls easier than most of the convoy it found itself caught up in

We found a French racing pigeon. Were lucky to find someone that spoke French up the road, and he said to release it where we phoned him via tag on his leg. Kept it in a cage for a day, fed it with water and food, then he flew off tonight. Hopefully back home.

There,s a chance it could belong to a fancier in ma club , he bought young birds from Lou mcghee, and he's been training from strathaven.

Afraid not its been registered to a loft in north of France, by the way has your mate registered his with SHU?
