Tony C Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm of the opinion that whatever pigeons you house you must believe they're good enough. I cant see how you can get the best out of them if you think what you race are mediocre, you'll never give it your all if you don't believe in them. Its an all to easy an excuse to blame the pigeons.
