You certainly don't like anybody having an opinion that differs from yours.
I welcome all sorts of opinions. To me, some are worth a lot more than others though
If you look at this thread you'll see the only person that I have questoned really is you; and that's because I basically don't agree with you
You can try and deflect all you want but you firmly implied by saying that this was basically a condition that sprint pigeons encountered more than their distance counterparts. I say that's bullshit. I know fanciers with distance and sprint pigeons that fall foul of this problem - and it is a problem
You've never had it and have never seen it in operation. I have and I've implemented strategies to minimise the risk of it. Now whether these pigeons ever really get over it you only found out when they're put under immense pressure in race conditions where the muscle is being called upon to exert above and beyond what's comfortable.
I could talk to you about exercise, hand bathing, dietary adjustment and blood thinning etc but what would be the point? I'm certainly not here to try and impress you and I don't even bother to try.
