Back after 3 days

A red SVR cock that went missing on Monday came back at 5 today (Thursday) and I must admit id cursed and abused him while he was gone.
But I take it all back, the chuck was from just 20 miles so I thought useless bird but when he got back and I picked him up, He has a big slice taken out of the front of his wing, he's lost over half his body weight and the 1st thing he did was head for the drinker, then his box.
So I owe him an apology Hasn't been in anywhere and he's obviously hit something so all credit to him, no racing for him this year now and I hope he repairs well as he has shown good spirit.

I hope he recovers well Steve. I got a strayer from NI today he still has the rubber on his leg so the poor thing must of got caught in the bad weather last Saturday and got lost he was starving and dehydrated so I looked after her and reported her to the secretary of he club up there no one has got in touch just yet so ill wait and see if anyone rings. she's a nice little bird aswell. anyway hope your's has a good recovery best of luck mate!

yes our birds are brave little things aint they....sounds like a failed peregine attack but either way fair play to the birds spirit and lets hope he makes the races again

They truly are (brave things) Many of us I'm sure have wondered quite often, how some of them make it home at times, when injured. The damage to them etc & the pain they must endure, is just amazing in my view.
