Well Done

[walterboswell59]

in the coalburn area cant remember how long its been since i had six tosses in a row without being touched i know one lad is trying to solve the problem looks like its working ill be back up up today with our latebreds long may it last well done m8

[paddymac]

I wouldn't speak too soon Walter until the latebred training is over, it only takes one strike to put everything up in the air and all best laid plans at a loss. But I do agree with you that the unseen people who are trying to allieviate some of the problems deserve a thankyou for their efforts

[scott mca]

Trying my bit over here as well Walter out the 3 specials ones i had ive one left so heres hoping mate

[tiger]

walter you find out at this time of the year the bulk move two the coast mate

Late feb early march is the time to train the specials........well done to those that are training these.

[ally mac]

Ive found in the last few years it is a far better time for me to train last years YBs. they've been in the basket nearly 10 times and ive only dropped 2. It is always harder as the first races approach so I am going to try to get them educated on the way up through the mountains just now and then just worry about getting them fit in the spring hopefully.

my thoughts to pat but that was the last toss today and another good one so someone is making a difference maybe the penny has dropped at last its the guys that are being hit at there lofts that hold the key to solveing the problem if they have birds locked out everyday they will sort it locking your birds up for the winter helps no one because as soon as you let them out in the spring there back to torment you so well done guys you know who you are keep it up

ps thats ten tosses 3 from 12 miles 7 from 20 miles so that will do them till feb when im ready to get them them going again and we will see how they go

I usually have 10/12 l breds to train every year which is usually Oct/Nov.

Havent got round to it this year yet but their flying well just now and

they will have to run the gauntlet soon. Maybe 6 tosses in fife out to 10mls.

Then over the Forth with them at 15, 20, and 25 mls. Once thev'e been over

the forth a couple of times I have more confidence in them. Iv'e had ylg

L Breds right out to the coast as yearlings and even a few across the channel

which have been timed in and looked none the worse. I usually send the majority

of them to the second or third race for the first race in their lives. I find

they usually do better by missing the first race and getting a few more tosses

under their belts and once thev'e had a race or two they settle down. They can

at times surprise you. Some of them have been my best birds. My 6th Open Andrezel

Hen started as a l bred. My first bird from Ancenis this year and last year started

as a l bred as was my first pigeon from Arras this in fact she was ripped wide open.

Also my first bird from Arras last year 25th Open 15 hrs 20 mins on wing was also

a l bred. There have been others over the years but you can see from the above i'm

a firm believer in showing some patience with these inexperienced birds. Its all

about Patience I believe!
