todays race melton mowbray

yes if you see many top fliers lofts there not really up to much but its the pigeons that count

A nice loft would boost the , precision management, and self confidence, about one's own setup.
I agree it is the residents, that is more important.

yes niel you could fly from an orange box and win if the pigeons are happy and well looked after

As i have already said in the past what wins the race the pigeon or the loft

He seen lofts which you would not keep pigs in have pigeons living in there and winning well

youve got to have the cattle

remember the pictures of the lofts in the old pictorials ? all home made and built with scraps of wood and materials they had found mostly.....yet they had their fair share of winners in them.....

or me i like going round to top fanciers to seethere birds but to also see the loft construction which there birds live in

like we have said many timesits not the loft that wins the races

hopefully mines going to look a bit tidier now ive started painting it....using some green wood preserve/colour type stuff, seems ok.

Thnaks Ian someone else saying what i have been saying it's te pigeon that wins the races not the loft

happy days david trouble is your pigeons might not recognize there new home cant afford to loose any more

ian, they dont recognise it as it is so what chance have i got when its painted...
ive stopped worrying about losing any more, if they go they go.....im past caring.

david theres nothing you can dowhen there in the sky i always say there not yours when their up there

yes ian... thats exactly what i think....

if only we knew david what made them tick would be worth a fortune

David, my opinion, I think you do everything correct, maybe more correct then some of us, start to look at your pigeons.
I ask myself dozen times, why do Davids birds get lost, of coarse some would get lost, BUT, so many, It doesnt make sense.

niel, to be honest i think its me....last year i could spend more time with them and i had them out every day which helped home them....this year i dont seem to have as much time so they are only going out alternate days which isnt so good.....so like i say, i think its down to me.

david,i agree with what you are saying,when you are settling ybs you need to get them outside to learn their surrounds as soon as possible and as often as possible(every day if poss)good luck keep at it.

3rd club melton mowbray on saturday lads, still cannot get the win this year but done well in the fed i think, i hear 2 birds from bourges last night at 9.55 in darlington wonder if ian has his yet

I am sure things are good for Ian.

Well done Ray, we were at Yeovil 170 miles the birds made hard work of it in a north west wind, mine did it in 4hrs 1 min ended up 14th, my mates Bill and Pat had a good day they took the first 3 in our club, Yeovil, 1st club swainswick in the haydock club and 1st club fourges in haydock club plus they took all the noms as well, so its back to the drawing board for me this week
