blue pied Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Mobile phone networks have to be looked at. This must be having an effect on homing ability. There is no reason not to think it wont have a long term effect on humans over time but in the short term I think its one of the reasons our birds can no longer home in great numbers.disagree, so when we get good races and nearly all home is that coz no one has any money left and needs a top up?!

ForestForever74 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 disagree, so when we get good races and nearly all home is that coz no one has any money left and needs a top up?! good races and nearly all home lol you guys barely get past 60 miles in 5 weeks of young bird racing, that's the reason for your good races and good returns, even an unhealthy bird willdo that. I am thinking once the birds get pushed out a bit then its affecting them, ask everyone how many yearlings they have got left and how many well raced and experienced birdshave gone down this season, too painful for many to talk about id imagine. There are other reasons as well but other people champion those enough without me adding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestForever74 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Kelso 65 miles was our first race and our returns have been crap every race this season. So its not percy and its not mobile phones, so whats your take on it Andrew? I think we both agree that we are sick of people banging the same drum about percy? Whatever happens something has to be done and I think its going to take extreme views and actions to change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestForever74 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I stand by all my statements rightly or wrongly that's just the way I am, stubborn as hell and proud of it! its the way my momma raised me lol Your a young guy and the future of the sport, I have no doubt whatsoever in saying that about you. Lets get to the heart of the matters at hand and do something about it. I have ideas but they are very extreme. The way Bonnybridge have looked after their yb's from marking, pigeon care in club. transporting to race point and liberations has been 100% first class and still huge losses - everyone is tearing their hair out. I take no pleasure in seeing anybody lose their birds and seeing the list of names with 0/30, 0/17 some really good guys who are hurting this weekend but rather than go from week to week with the same experience something needs to be done and tough decisions need to be made. I believe that you and I and some others are the people who should be driving the sport forward not just going with the flow and allowing this to happen. TIME TO ALL PULL TOGETHER AND DO SOMETHING! Anyway its time for my other passion to take centre stage. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
