  1. There will be people around you racing with the same problems from the BOP. You won't be able to start racing until next summer now and get young birds in until march now so why don't you get in touch with sour local club and go down and have a chat.
  2. God, I could only watch 2 seconds of that!
  3. Looks like its. Been sprayed to sell?
  4. Check the anvil to see how worn it is, that will give you an indication of how it mat of been looked after. I think the kubuta engines are pretty bomb proof. Get the serial no and ring up TW they normally try and log the owners so they can check it's not nicked!
  5. 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.
  6. I fly with the BBO Fed
  7. 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?
  8. I don't know about that, I would have thought it would be like shooting someone's cat in your garden.
  9. There is an agg engineer in Dorchester, I'll find the name and number.
  10. Grizzle
  11. Red checker
  12. Some of my favourite's.
  13. I'll get some pics up but I don't think I'll be racing, maybe send to Yeovil third from last race.
  14. You would loose a lot to the falcon's, a lot of people are packing in because of it! You can do it expensive and you could spend thousands but I have tried to keep it cheep! It was a working mans sport but it's been turned into a money making industry. There are a lot of people in it with money being able to send loads and loads of bird and auto box cleaners. Get a few in a shed for next season.
  15. Could have cost a lot of money or been bread through generations of good pigeons and once dead it can't breed!
  16. Tony, How many YB did you start with and how are you doing with losses?
  17. I have missed the start of the season so just going to train. I'm going to get them in straight away once they get back and not let them do that.
  18. Haha I've eaten one or two!
  19. I won't, I'm racing south road from the Berkshire area. I thing this year has been bad for losses!
  20. Hi Guss, He is a young guy is he? I'm the youngest in the club by about 40 years! Not many younger people doing it. I'll look that site up thanks.
  21. Sitting on roof.
  22. I'm a bit behind as young bird racing started about 3 weeks ago so might just get these trained up and start them as yearlings next year. I have just let them go for there first training toss from 2 miles and they are all back! I have some pics on my computer but I'll start to take them if you want to look. Steve next year if you want to keep four or so in a hutch to play with, with your boys I'll send you some babies up.
  23. I have just started to keep racing pigeons this year and wondered if anyone else does.
  24. The FC are recommending something other than Propeller but I can't remember what it is, I'll go and have a look.
  25. You do not need permission to remove Ivy.
