GRAHAM MITCHELL Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Posted June 3, 2018 Very few pigeons come over the top of me on race day irrespective of wind direction .So that was not the problem this molrning.Still nothing.
Roland Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 Many, if not most will most likely get back. Sure hope so mate. Often happens ... But the 'Fly Away' quickly clouds and worries one mind in such happenings. But by far the happening is good returns.
Bryngwynt Lofts Posted June 3, 2018 Report Posted June 3, 2018 So sorry to here this,Hope they work in for you now.

alex young Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 Hopefully you'll get them returning through the day,lost a few myself know the feeling good luck.
Roland Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I believe this to be one of our biggest worries. One that is truly and realistically out of our control. A happening that occurs where any Human can't, doesn't have a say or hand in that might change this happening. (Indeed many other disastrous event can be, or, via fanciers or governing bodies) Many have only heard of a 'Fly Away'. Many, obviously have also had this horrid experience, me included. Let me assure every one A. No one knows why or can explain it ... of course many try and there are many the myth how and why to avoid as such. That's gooley - dash. Indeed known some that often spouted the reasons and remedies to make themselves prone free ... only to be devastated some way along the line. Terry and his Nephew took their youngsters 20 miles one evening. Started of looking good. Then heavy rain hit home. Nigel let his birds up. Terry took his back home. Nigel's were drenched sitting in loft when getting home. Nice day next morning, so terry per usual let the youngsters out. He never saw a feather of them again. believe just two were reported. They flew well too when yearlings etc. So go and figure. Often think it's the tender hooks and adrenalin rushes that keep us glue to the sport. JMO Edited June 4, 2018 by Roland
THE FIFER Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 had my young birds out and were away for about 3qtrs an hour, its not raining but still misty and you would think the birds had been in the bath they are wet,
