Hi guys, just a wee note to introduce myself.I am a complete beginner and have loads of questions/ queries that will no doubt filter through in the coming weeks.Is there anyone based in East Lothian/mid lothian that is willing to be my mentor? Helpmewith setting up my loft, buying birds, advice on the basics of pigeon husbandry, training etc. I am not wanting to race my pigeons just keep them. Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

welcome to pigeon basics . if i can help in any way you only need to ask. i know a little when i am stuck and need expert advice i ask jimmy the encyclopedia white. as he is one of the most intellectual persons that i have come across regarding pigeons.

[pigeonpete]

welcome to this great site, you will find some great helpful tips, all the best.

[Guest Freebird]

Welcome and happy flying when you get the birds.

[Babybird]

one wee question, what happens when u want to go away for the weekend? do you have to get someone in to care for the birds/ exercise them or is there a way you can set things up that they cope without you for a night? This is a real consideration as I will be having to attend several sporting events that include an overnight stay

[blaz]

if it just overnight just make sure that birds have WATER and a double ration of food. birds can stay in some guys keep birds in all winter

[Babybird]

Cheers mate, that puts my mind at rest
