i am new to the sport this is my first year racing and have lost 3 birds 1 of which is a stock bird i would do anything to get back as it was the first bird i ever got. i have reported 3 strays and got them home to their owners myself and hope their arent to many flyers out there like the guy who started this post it doesnt take a long time to report a bird and you could be doing someone a great turn and you never know you could make a friend in the pigeon world that you may never have met i will carry on reporting birds and just hope that if any of my birds was to land at a flyers loft that it is one of the decent men out their that would be as happy as i am to see a pigeon make its way back to their owner
