Re: I pick up my pigeons tomorrow

You've had all the good advice, Tony. It'll be like a kid with a new puppy for a few days, you won't be able to stay away from them.
The best tool you've got is your scraper, as you wander around scraping and talking to them you are making a bond with them.
I'm dead pleased for you mate, enjoy it.

Re: Flight Force



what everyone's thoughts on food for Y/bs and any supplements like grit, minerals ect it'll be good to hear what you all say on this

Like Danny says, the common mistake is over feeding them. And feeding too heavy a mixture.
You want them athletic, lean and fit and bursting to go. We've had a ...

Re: Flight Force



It's not what you feed, it's what you are feeding it too.
Top fanciers are top fanciers because they have good birds, it's not because they are feeding a special brand of corn.

You could get the best fanciers in the World and find they all feed different. Nearly ALL pigeons feeds are good ...

I prefer a trick the American racehorse trainers ...

Re: History of the Delbar lines

And that's the problem, king.
If the sport is going strongly in some places, like it is here, and in a spiral in other places, surely people could look hard and ask themselves what lessons they can learn.
It will be a tragedy if the whole sport dies out because no one wanted to take the bull by ...
