2 weeks of free pigeon sh**e lift your game pal as I will go 3 at least & mine is better than yours       as it will have a imported sticker/taste to it.

My apologises for being a wee bit slack with my welcome here
Devo56 There was some real shonky business       "1000th member etc" going on earlier today here & I had my hands full. The word is I'm the one that refused to accept the prize to mark the big occasion is nothing but trouble & in a big way. I just hope the moderators here come down hard on him when he plays up as I suspect he will be out to corrupt many of the members here.
Enough said .

That's OK ask away etc we all know nothing here. Some of us sadly I'm   unfortunately, have just taking 50/60 years to twig too the fact, tho.

welcome

Good Morning, just a question? does everyone fly widowhood or are they many flying natural.

I think we have members who do both dev, most will do widowhood or roundabout I think, but I know some fly natural..........

Thank you for your answer david, I think i would rather fly natural myself. I think its the art of motivation and knowing your birds well.

I did fly natural but have gone roundabout now as the hens would come to lay and miss races and with not many comeback races it meant the hens would miss the boat type of thing ...but it is more enjoyable and less hastle to go natural

first 2 years of racing we race natural. and Harley got on the race results.
was told by club members if I did not go on to roundabout so we could race the hens as well .we would not be long in the pigeon game.
we found out we were as much as 20 minuets behind the winners near every week on natural. so we had to go on roundabout to compete with the other members.
now we can hold our on with them.
and it cut down on training. just out 2 times a day for 1 hour job done.
lads said if we stay on natural we would never be off the road tossing the birds.
works for us. but not saying that natural flyer will agree with what am saying.
best of luck to you which way you fly your birds.
john.

I think i need to read up on the roundabout system, its just good to be reading up again on racing pigeons. It also helps with the dvds, there is so much information out there, its knowing which is the best for your partnership with your pigeons i guess.

yeah some very good points there ....training aspect to natural I suppose its all about what fits into your lifestyle really ...on roundabout I only exercise cocks and hens once per day I find they exercise better and they do 1 hour sometimes a bit more which is enough I feel and then I get time with the family too

yes dev, theres so much info out on the internet now, and so many pigeon products that wernt around years ago........I restarted approx. 6 years ago after a 20 year lay off and couldn't believe how things had changed.....

Yes i agree David, Its good to have a choice of different products, and also the different strains of pigeons. But its all good reading and research for me, Good job we have the internet.

Devo is this your first time with pigeons ???

Its a mind field if this is your first time mate, best think to do is get to the newsagents and order the weekly
British Homing World 95p

That will give you an idea on what people are flying and a few tips from the articles which appear within it

Hi Don, I have raced pigeons a good few years ago, House move put a stop to it plus working out of town. But looking forward to being back in the sport now.

I have just ordered the homing world, and bought some De Meyers young birds, and I have young birds coming over from Germany Via Thorsten Daum from his diamond family.
