HOWS THE ECHANGE BIRDS

Hi lads just thought I would update my exchange bird info, I havent heared much lately from members about how they are all doing, do we have any winners yet.

My 2 birds were excellent but I lost 1 in a fly away when 14 went north on a saturday morning following some race birds that were blown across to our coast with the east winds.

But my other bird is racing today 3/7/10 from our first race 98 miles chepstow libed at 8.00am so will keep you posted.

Come on lads lets hear all about this exchange..thanks

I Still have both mine off Martyn they are doing very well we have two weeks to go before first young bird race
Ken

Ken

excellent start to the yb season martyn, well done............ still got my two bred by ian, have made lovely birds and hoping they race as good as they look.

still got one of mine off david, which is a hen and has started to pair up , so fingers crossed....starting to train shortly

Well done on the win Martyn the first of many i hope

Thanks ads, it was a surprise to win the first one as I havent trained that hard this year, but youngsters flying really well around the place. I had 6 out of 6 which was better than winning to be honest shows they are healthy. The EXCHANGE bird came about 3pm looking very well and not at all tired so hes going again this week, so fingers crossed.

shame i wasnt on site when the youngbird exchange was drawn would have loved to see how my birds did racing.maybe next year if we have one

Yes the exchange has been interesting, I seem to have a good 1 had a race already and off agai this week, and looking good.
