Guest GAV Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 Get your loft and everything set up inside it before you get any pigeons....
Guest lifes to short Posted July 7, 2013 Report Posted July 7, 2013 as a novice myself i think the best advice would be dont expect to much to soon enjoy your birds coming home before worrying about cards
anto b Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 Good stuff so far , keep it coming........
thunderbigbaws Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 buy a set of golf club and foreget the pigeons
anto b Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 If your hearts not in it and you dont enjoy it , maybe you should take your own advice

JohnQuinn Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 Fit Pigeons then Routine, Routine, Routine and success will follow, even with average doos you'll get results. Obviously the better your racing stock are the more success you will have, Theoretically anyway!!!
gulkie Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 Keep a small team don't go breeding crazy . breed a family of birds .You will get to know your birds and what they are capable of and Most of all enjoy what your doing ,walk before you can run.

Agree with this 100% also Resting pigeons is better than any cure/treatment/pick me up on the market.
flying fifer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 Get the loft set up PROPERLY before you think about putting birds in it.Breed or buy a team of youngsters( rather than trying to fly broken birds)Get a system that suits YOU and stick to the routine.Be patient and work on a 5 year plan, don't be shy to ask the winning fanciers what they are doing and when.Be prepared for the"downs" i.e. BOP's and disaster races. IF ALL ELSE FAILS IT'S NO HARD TO ADAPT THE LOFT FOR BUDGIES

IF ALL ELSE FAILS IT'S NO HARD TO ADAPT THE LOFT FOR BUDGIES My advice would be to not over populate quality over quantity
Walter swanston Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 Don't give any thought to winning pigeon races,listen to everybody you will soon sort out the good advice and most of all enjoy having pigeons around you and I wish you the very best of luck
kirky Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 go to the top fancier in your area and ask him to breed you some late breds uses them for breeding the following year in a dry loft well ventilated and enjoy your birds before you start racing,
