Boy oh Boy !!!!! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes another disaster etc. I was just on the Alberta site yesterday, reading about the one loft race in Canada "2 peas in a pod" exactly the same story in many ways Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad. Running dairy for 6 months, a loft full of champions looking a milllion dollars so to speak lol! lol! lol! Unfortunately !!!!!!!! they then put them in the basket & all hell broke loose. It plays out something like this,1 mile, 1 mile, 2 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile, 5 mile & then the big one 25 miles Cool Cool Cool etc, started with 1200 pigeons in the loft at the start & over half of them have disappeared unfortunately. It's a mad mad world now where in. So some one like Ginger, who had a bit of misfortune recently here, shouldn't feel too down in the dumps etc. cheers

Hi Knackered I have just been looking at the Canadian International OLR and like the RPRA race yesterday surprise surprise there is no info about the full amount of returns on the Website. I always think it is better to just tell it like it is whatever happens rather than try to hide the bad news hoping things will improve before revealing the results.
The best way with the OL races is to be like the Algarve Golden race where Everything is televised over the internet live. Loft flying, in the loft and all training and races. This way the owners are not so anxious when kept in the dark about the truth. (Its strange how the websites go down or clam up when something bad happens) Shocked 
The old saying "No News is Good News" doesnt hold water for the owners of birds in OL events.
Lets hope the birds in both these events can work their way back home.

Hi George that happened to us in the Europa classic a few years ago. We had a bird that had raced exceptionally well from our 3 entries and finished high in the acebirds. You had the option to leave the bird in and pay 150GBP to race as a yearling. The top so many birds were auctioned off and our bird was in top form until the final when he lost 35 mins on the leaders in a bunch finish.
This meant he was one of the proven top performers left in the lofts after the sale. He mysteriously dissapeared before the yearlings training began.
To be fair the Europa let me pick another bird to represent us in the Yearling event but there was nothing in our missing birds class left in the race. I often wonder if the bird got auctioned or sold by mistake as I know for a fact that this has happened in the past.

Fair enough comment Kev "Unfortunately" we live in a society sadly where certain people believe you must gild the lily (Be kind) as the truth is a bit harsh at times. It all comes out in the end thou lol! lol! lol! as you say. Just think of our politicians as an example. The one thing I scratch my head in amazement with, in that Canada race. Is why would you bother to basket up hundreds of pigeons etc to just take them a mile down the road. Time & effort were just wasted in my view "Strange". cheers

the reason Knackered for starting off at 1 ml then 2,3 is OL birds do not range they also don't like flying round the loft george

There are just as many percentage wise being lost from fanciers own lofts from what I have read on various sites and heard from different people, its just the more birds you have in one place the more you lose. Many fanciers are already not sending as they are frightened of losing them, I say send them and the ones that come back are worth another chance as yearlings.
Those that dont come back I would be looking closely at their parents in the stock loft and thinking about their futures, lol.Very Happy

i think theres far too much crap being bred anyway spencerline......plus inadiquate training/management adds to the problem also, but 300 pigeons left out of 1300 entered is a pretty high percentage of losses i would say.......

I agree but the One loft race is not responsible for crap being bred they just have to train and race the birds they are given. From the 1300 that began there were 900 by the 2nd race so they were fit by now and only 33% are back but as they are fit and healthy many more should still make it home. I havent looked but surely there are records of what training the birds have done. After all it was only 90 miles not Pau national, lol.  If an individual fancier has  30 birds and loses 20 then this is the same it just doesnt sound as bad.
Many have faired worse than that this year, it is all over the websites about losses, many have lost the lot and packed up for the season afer a couple of short races.

there may now be another problem for the rpra and that is the courier cost if a large number of the 640 birds are reported also the owner may well not want it to return to the loft and again who pays the cost george
