| if you like what you see you may buy or maybe not . at the end of the day its the buyers choice , I don't mind doing a pedigree if the birds does something and the buyer can prove it ? . |

| its the quality of stock that's the problem too many un-tried stock instead of ex-or current racers being bred from jmo |

correct if you don't give ped till it proves itself it will get raced not shoved in a shed to breed another generation of duffers |

| I think too much is placed on how the parents and grand parents raced or bred, it doesn't mean the pigeon for sale will be a good one... |

I would argue that if someone selling large amounts of ybs with no reasonable racing results probably has poor health within the colony and that would make me wary |

| when my grandfather raced in the 70's and early 80's most guys never had much stock and bred from the race team ....its where the problems at I am sure of it along with racing ybs on Gerry and diet mixes its not enough for them to work back on if they make a mistake ,I have ybs who return 2 or 3 days later from races because they are fed to educate not race to the tin ok some of these late arrivals may not amount to much but they don't seem to do it twice but each to his own I am not so sure pigeon racing has moved on in these areas in the last 40 years |

I believe pigeons have gotten much faster,latecomers are a thing of the past but not convinced purely down to feeding cos anyone who kept the birds on the old feeds would still be getting them home if not fast enough |

I believe pigeons have gotten much faster,latecomers are a thing of the past but not convinced purely down to feeding cos anyone who kept the birds on the old feeds would still be getting them home if not fast enough I respect yer opinion ...I can only say what I see in my own lofts and compare to what others are doing ...a yb fed for weeks on Gerry plus or diet goes awol they don't come back generally but mind you a lot still send when they got sickness in the loft as not all will suffer from the disease and this contributes to ybs being lost and going round in circles at the racepoint ,but back to the breeding on the sickness front and a lot of ybs being bred from birds that are un-tried, not only if they are capable of velocities to be competitive but to even breed ybs that have a robust immunity |

| To Days racing pigeons are bred for speed , we the fancier have produced these i feel at the expence of the homeing abilty yes they do home but not like they once did if you had a bird which nighted out from a race 99.9 % would be at the loft next morning first light, these day if a bird does not make it on the day then its 85% never seen again but we as fanciers will keep on striving to make the birds faster still, Ken |

Ken I agree with what yer saying ken but a lot of extra speed is down to feed and I feel that's why they are not working back ...if theirs nothing in the tank how can they and if they been fed salad for weeks so they exercise well around the loft they have no reserves jmo though I may be wrong but its what I am seeing generally |

| Oldstrain as i agree feed plays its part, i once tried the garvo mix and to be honest i have never seen birds so hungrey, to the point i rang tje nanufacture , they ask me how i d fed on race days to this the said was wrong two hours before basketing feed them as much as i could get into them , they told me that by 2 hours the feed would have passed through them leaving only the energy for the next day race as that was the way the mix was created to pass through the bird as quickly as posible yes i tried it was dredding the comments thinking the birds would have full crops only to be asked your keeping these abit on the tight side yes the corn had gone through them in less than a hour and and Half i never stayed with the mix as its not cheap i was going through double the amount of corn than i normally do , and yes the birds did win but i dropped 4 Ken |

Ken birds have got faster , but for me only to say 400 miles , beyond that its how you condition them and beyond that say 600 miles plus it is down to a different type of bird altogether and there is not many about ? don't think these are faster , but are very determined pigeons ? |

| that makes sense to me birds have got faster up to 400 mile ....is it down to feed all birds bred today are from yesterdays pigeons they are not some new breed just new crosses and new peoples names adopting the name of other fanciers birds ...I like the idea of giving light mixes to my old birds but not the ybs guys are racing ybs like old birds they are not getting a chance to develop properly jmo though and respect others opinions to |
