Come in all shapes & sizes etc O/S Old family here from back when built off a pigeon called "the Big Bar" BBC & "The "Bourke Hen" his half sister etc     a runt in general terms, but both were champion breeders & top Fed birds at 5/600 odd miles, when very few birds were clocked overall by close of play as such.

another checker cock to breed from next season  he is very heavy in the wing and tail moult

Just had another gander at the photos in the BHW this week of the photos of the pigeons, winners, breeders of winners etc;

They vary from little, large, long cast short cast, medium cast etc; likewise the eyes relative to the theory, good bad, medium and useless, a photo is nice to look at but tells you very little.

Regards.

your much better than me misty i can't tell from a photo a long cast pigeon from a short body one or large from small must look at the eyes as most photos are unraced birds so don't know why i bother putting photos up i do just to keep the site going rather than what some do shopping

one other thing i live on my own in  the country i have a nervous breakdown i'm  out patient at the local hospital as i have had enough  best thing misty don't look at any of my posts from now on and i won't look at yours

Apologies if you have taken my obsevations as an affront to your photographs which was not my intention, but just my opinion that good pigeons cannot be determined from a photograph, whilst the photoraphs of ones own pigeons is always interesting to others, it was a generalisation not personal ie; no one can tell a good racer from a photograph, and many photographs by the money boys care air brushed.

I always call a spade a spade, never court popularity by agreeing with thingshich I do not.

Yiu have my deepest thympathy for your health problems believe me I have and have had more than my share of similar.

All the best.

Regards.

Join the club.

Have sent David some photos not all relevant to pigeons in the hope that fanciers will do the same and show some other interests they have alongside the pigeons and put a few problems to solve.

Me thinks it will be a long Winter and a little diversion may be helpful.

The last thing we want is two old fogies falling out lifes too short

Rgards.

why do you not post them

Not technically minded woud not have a clue how.

Also a bit long in the tooth to take things in.

Takes me all the time to do basics.

Regards.

sent you a pm i'78 and can do it ring me

told this  bird i needed a photo of him so misty could comment  

Would rather comment when in a different position and through the moalt, droppings says a healthy little thing.

Regards.

George can you not just play about with different size cardboard boxes until your happy with the right size then just copy them dimensions? Might save you a bit work with the hammer and saw?

This video will have you doing it like a pro in no time....
