Welcome to Pigeon Basics the best pigeon site on the net bar none where you will receive all the advice you want and lots more trust me i know after what happened to me a few weeks ago

[Dankay123]

I have joined as I have an interest in racing pigeons but I don't know fully what is involved. I have a club on my doorstep which I have enquired about joining. I have been gifted an old pair of good distance birds from a friend who raced in continental races. I have no clock yet but got loads of time as I think it will be 2015 before I start with a young team. Once bred do I need to register the young racers with rpra? How does this side of it work? Also how many young birds would I need for a season?

[OLDYELLOW]

Your best bet is get a club , then you can get rings from the club the rings will be registered in your name You could offer to help an older member in the meanwhile and get some good experience

Good advise there, wish l had done it that way fist an experinced hand will help you with getting your feeding right and give you an idea about a racijg system and general well being of the birds if you find succsessfull one fo help

[Dankay123]

I have kept birds for years, bred canaries,goldfinches etc. but I will ask at club for advice.

[gulkie]

As old yellow said apply to join a local club and they will give u all the

Information u require ,if u have only one pair of old birds u will be very limited

To the amount of YB u can breed.

welcome to the site.

Ok I made contact and I have been invited to meet a few of the lads in the morning. Plenty of people I can shadow and pick tips off. The birds I have been gifted are distance birds but the lad I spoke to said I would be better with sprinters to start with. They also said they can loan me a clock. Sounds a really friendly bunch.

Sounds like a good club , try and get to help someone out they get a free hand and you'l get experience and it will save you a lot of heartache in the future
