Re: Tail Feathers
Yes it does their heads in. That's why you don't see many old birds racing here. If they have half a dozen races they are usually too hawk shy to race properly. I have had YB's really going well in the tosses, put a few old birds in and they come home broken up. The old pigeons see a falcon and dive...

Re: Life in Bealiba.
Thanks Trev, a bit of rain won't hurt, it's all closed in now. In fact, a good shower right now would be just what the doctor ordered.

Re: German classic OLR 2024

Re: Life in Bealiba.
We went out to the cottage early yesterday, we had to meet a bloke to arrange to have several trees taken down. Having done that I got stuck in and got most of the weatherboards on the loft, the wire mesh up on the front and started putting the back wall vent in. It's going well. I want to get it pr...

Re: Thursday night / Friday

It's the same with sprint/ middle distance, they store fats from oil seeds and converted from carbohydrate. It's only my thoughts, so very possibly wrong, but I think they nee...
