[frank-123]

How many did you send with the south tonight Tommy?

[robbiedoo.]

Over the last few week I have spoken to fanciers from all around the uk and let me tell you Lanarkshire are not alone in their losses , illness not in my opinion, some top top north east fanciers have lost most of their team and they don't send sick pigeons , there is more to all this than Percy , wind turbines , mobile phones , electric storms , lack of training, it makes no difference the old bird season was terrible the yb season is terrible it is here to stay in my opinion . What can we do ! Not a lot .

 

When you say north east fanceirs is that north of Scotland ?. You quoted they are top fanceirs and they don't send sick pigeons it should,nt matter what kind of fanceir you are you should never put a sick pigeon in the transporter IMO. I lost interest with the pigeons the last 2 or 3 year but was starting to get the bug back then you hear there is guys sending their youngsters knowing fine well they are not right it just sickened me hence the reason I only had 2 races I was,nt wanting to take the chance of them getting sick .

Wit one you in

[tommy bhoys]

Wit one you in

[yeboah]

Putting birds through at the marking station tonight gives an idea of the bigger picture

The lads that race natural trying to get a race or two more out of the youngsters

No head cover bare necks etc

Then handling the darkness doos

No comparison whatsoever

You could make out the prize list before they went on the transporter

With NW wind forecast tomorrow with showers on route the natural birds will go down again more losses

Sunday south south west wind No rain or showers forecast

We try to come up with answers when they are staring us in the face

But will we change for the sake of the pigeon

Nope because our ancestors did it this way 300 years Ago

[tommy bhoys]

How many did you send with the south tonight Tommy?

It works botj ways tam. You can win races with yearlings that didn't have much racing as yb

[Paul Mac 31]

Away with 12 today.... with all my boxes filled for nxt year..so takin it week by week to see if we'll complete the programme... I want to win and race every week....or whats the point in keepin them...but there must be come back races in the programme thats a no brainer!!! Building a team..and schooling the Ybs should be a priority.. for the last 10-15 years most of our ybs on get 3races max.. unless showing form.. never done them any harm as yearlings.

[jonl6280]

Birdage low because of lots of factors !

Not as many doo fanciers around these days compared to say 10-15 years ago, YB sickness, bad doo men that haven't a clue about pigeon's, too many inland nationals which means low birdage to real over the water races 500 miles, breeding off bad doos, breeding off sick doos .

North east of England , you are correct all ybs should be healthy but my point was these boys birds are winning most weeks so their birds are in tip top shape but still have big losses.
