Re: Yb teams
Yes, some very informative stuff about the fanciers. I may appear slightly laid back and unconcerned, nothing could be further from the truth. I have a strong relationship with my pigeons, and they with me. I am always conscious of their health and well being. What I don't do is fall into the trap o...

Re: Thursday night / Friday
Thursday afternoon after flying they are fed in. As soon as some turn away the feed is removed.
Friday they are fed once, mid morning. As soon as a couple turn away, the feed is removed.
That's it.

Re: Anyone younger?
I think I was about 6 when I first saw pigeons on the platform at Christchurch railway station, waiting to go on the train. Fell for them on the spot.
My father built a little which I filled with anything I could find.
It was many years before I had my first racing pigeons.

Re: Anyone younger?
At what age did members have their first encounter with pigeons? Some of our old members would probably have seen this photo. e4437185-ca61-4e97-b5c4-84f721e69c0b.jpeg This is me with mine and Trev’s dad. I was born in 1962 so probably taken in 1963 at about a year old. 🙂🙂. Wow! great picture Andy!

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. As you drive along, for miles and miles there's a green tinge on the paddocks, the crops they have been sowing are coming up. A little bit of rain and whoosh! away t...

Re: Life in Bealiba.
Weather man says we could get heavy rain today. Around here could means anything from nothing, to a 2 minute downpour, to water over the road. So we shot out to St Arnaud this morning. I fitted the door on the loft, and started putting the weather boards back on. The biggest fiddle was finding the b...

Re: Yb teams
The size of the YB team is a huge factor. The smaller your team the quicker they will fly. My YB team was around 25 bred from 2 rounds. Weaned into TWO sections. They were loft flown separate, and trained separate. Rarely dropped a pigeon when training in the last 4 years I raced. True that. I only...
