And they walk past the bigger logs leaving em for me, sprogs who'd have em

Tony

I haven't joined but have spent some time reading through.

Try joining the Pigeon Chat forum lots of very usefull info, much like this forum

Tony

I started them today at a couple of miles, but I will do it as you have.

 

We don't have a trailer for training.

I forgot to say when you take em training keep em at the same spot until they beat you home, with mine it's about three chucks then they get a couple of single ups

Get in touch if you want a chat, welcome to the most frustrating sport you'll ever participate in

Tony

Win canton was the nearest to me at about 80 miles but has been moved to Yeovil which is a bit further.

 

The Yeovil race is in two weeks and I have only started training today, have I got time to get them going?

You should try to take em every day or as often as you can. Mine get 5 @ 10mile, 5@ 20 mile, 5@ 35 mile with a few single or double ups so they learn to navigate solo and then take em as far as you can 50, 60 or 70 mile. Does your club/fed have a training van/trailer? Ours charge 20p a pigeon they take em as far as we want

Tony

I'll get some pics up but I don't think I'll be racing, maybe send to Yeovil third from last race.

Hi Arborist you need to get a few races into em as young birds or you stand a good chance of losing em as yearlings

Tony

If it still stands. Its illegal to shoot racing pigeons.

Shooting racing pigeons is still illegal.

Tony,

 

How many YB did you start with and how are you doing with losses?

I generally start the young bird season with 30 and finish with between 5 or 10.

Just keep the best no point breeding from duffers

Tony

I've shot one or two....or is this not the best place to mention that.....

If you carn't tell the difference between a woody and a racer I suggest you hand your licence back to the plod:sneaky2:

Hello I've got racers had em for a few years. Just seen the pic of your bird on the roof don't let em get into bad habits

Tony

Just had an email off one of our local surgeons they've had 2 long reach hedge trimmers a couple of saws and a 10 ton log splitter nicked. In the Bromsgrove area. Thieving scum

Last one taken at Westernbirt

Tony

And another

Tony

Here's my contribution

Tony

Never seen any of them from start to finish. TBH, the genre doesn't light my fire.

 

One "Star" film I did enjoy and found it emotional and thought provoking was about a spaceship that carried plants, trees and stuff from a dead earth. I seem to remember that the humans on board left it with a small robot to care for the plants forevermore!

If my memory is still working the robots were called huey and doey:001_smile:

tony

If you don't get sorted PM me or give us a ring we're about 5 miles from Ragley

Tony
