frank-123 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just an idea Drastically change the pigeon racing season. Racing in June early July is prime time peregrine feeding season. The weather is better in September than it used to be. Moulting would be a problem but that could be sorted.old birds race April/May Then you pair up to breed June/July Late August/ September race old birds and young birds. As I said at the start just and idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 One weekend fixes the pigeon game if everybody played the game While I agree with this it's also possible to change our ways hitting them with a double whammy in the same year.
