The continentals were using several treatments every month in the 1960s having ruined the basic immune system of their pigeons.

Our pigeons on the other hand were still basically prone only to the normal problems all livestock encounter.

Continental friend said we would be stupid to introduce their problems, (wrote same in the BHW).

Those intent on attempting to get an advantage said I was stupid, the results prove who the stupid ones are, and they are still around smiling in the sports publications, hand in gloves with the vets necessary to keep their sick pigeons alive.

Once you deviate from nature too far you have problems that eventually you are unable to deal with and we are well along that road, YBS etc; will not be the last problem the sport encounters health wise.

Would just love to be at a pigeon seminar here etc Misty of world renowned pigeon Vet types & ask them all as a group how have they improved our sport in general on average over the last 20 odd years, by giving out all of their magic type potions to all & sundry as such looking for the magic bullet in a pigeon sense    .

Cheats

Was quite a few done and had their fingers wrapped. Mainly a few Big Names.

Also, the racket of some Belgiums sends 'Rings' over here so the Brits could ring their birds claiming they were bred in Belgium.
It still happens, no doubt today.
Indeed told a fancier to be careful as the concern he was going to buy off... 3 members in that concern -. He told them. they phoned and threatened me with violence
I offered to up and put a bounty for a charity at a public place. The winner takes all.
They refused and tried - well, one did, to become friends. Who needs that!

If I remember right, I believe that lot packed up and sold out 2 -3 years ago.

Still remember the day here etc Daz back when, an eye sign expert type from up Sydney way here as such, tried that little trick with the rings. Went home with egg on his face along with most of his pigeons from his auction. Louella pigeons they all were & not one of them would have known where England was I suspect .
