I was told many years ago that "A Man who thinks he knows everything, learns nothing" something I have always tried to live by. Being part of a strong and very social pigeon club once again, I've had numerous conversations with some very good fliers, one of the topics was on selection. We...

Pigeon men have a funny way of "adapting" (for want of a better word) We have far fewer members now than say in the 1980's but far more Clubs! It'd be fascinating to wind the clock forward 50 years and see what the sport looks like then All you need to start a new club is two members and ...

He said that every time he goes in the loft he sees a youngster that sticks out. He keeps looking at the youngster to check what it is. It's on...

Mmm, yes they were. But I don't know what happened. I guess they became very inbred and the start of the importation of good modern pigeons from Europe made them redundant.
