RPRA Hotspot ....

it has just been suggested to me that most of these loses are due to young bird sickness

David wrote:

he knows how to loose em doesn't he ......

Yes George obviously a last farewell.

Would have expected at least half back by now.

How a batch of average pigeons that have trained together can split up so widely is beyond me.

When they are bred from the fanciers best ??????.

Regards.

thing is misty 700 birds from one loft 300 from Premier 300 from Cotswold then birds that fanciers lose club racing

There may well be some truth in that George.

There is no rational explanation if all the pigeons are healthy.

The RPRA loft should be  inspected at random by a responsible knowlegable fancier to see that the pigeons are healthy.

Goodness knows what rubbish is thrown down their throats

Think the same regarding ill health applies to all fanciers.

By the looks of things there will be some empty perches tonight.

Think their must be a speed at which the pigeon cannot stay airborne.

So after that they must have rested.

Less than half back.

Cannot understand it from such short distances.

Good Evening
Many Congratulations to our Semi final winners Jones & Courts.
This is what they said about there winner today.
Myself and Andrew started entering the one loft races together in 2011 finishing 9th and 32nd RPRA final that year also winning the 2 bird average we have a few top 10 finishes in races but today we have had the pleasure of putting the icing on the cake and winning one and hopefully our luck will continue in the final Today’s winner is a mixture of tried and tested bloodlines being van Rijn Camphius and Cooreman bloodlines sire of the young bird was a winner of 8x1st club 6x1st federation for myself and sire of fed winners for myself and others he being a Van Rijn x Cooreman breeding  the dam of the young bird is a camphius x Van Rijn multiple prize winner as a young bird bred fed winners   We would like to thank the team for the great work they put into the birds to keep them in great condition.
They have currently 6 from 7 back so far from this race so well done to them they have supported me for many years even though they given me a bit of stick at times they did not give up on me.
It has turned into a tough race but as you can see was a lot more East in the wind than North combined with clear sky’s they really had to battle with the East wind today hence most have gone down the west side a different line than they normally take but as I side before the first race the gloves are off there will be no wrapping them in cotton wool.
They are still coming and looking good so I expect more tonight and tomorrow.
The Ace Pigeon results will be updated tomorrow evening with a update.
We’re get these recovered then train early next week ready for the Grand Final from Alnwick Sunday 17th of September.
Jeremy..

Good Evening
Well they kept on coming all day all they are in good condition considering and I am sure more will come.
One thing is we have got plenty of time for them to recover and they will start training next week most probably 3 trainers at 30 miles.
I most certainly will try my hardest to give you one of the best final races from 235 miles on 17th of September one thing is these birds have already been tested and had to work on the four races so far.
The Ace pigeon is updated.
Well done to Paul Mauger Mauger lofts this pigeon is certainly made of the hard stuff and there investment on one loft birds is paying off.
Santos Wings From Wales ???????????????????????? Two in the Top 10.
See full listings below.
Will update tomorrow
Jeremy.

140 pigeons lost from 170 miles, WOW, what a success.

The man lives in clouded cuckoo land.


Regards.

misty he may have lost hundreds around the loft before the first trainer

on 15th August he had 600 birds in 3 weeks he has lost 250

Nothing would suprise me George.

There are no checks done just the word of the manager.

There must be sick pigeons amongst them at any one time, flock treatment can adversely affect healthy pigeons depending on what is used, so a healthy pigeon feels ill and ill pigeon may feel better, so the fancier with ill pigeons benefits etc;

There is no way that so many pigeons from so many different lofts cannot pose health problems.

Unless one knows exactly what goes on one can only call it a shambles.

But hey, may have half a dozen for the final.

Regards.

last time i was in it misty he lost 300 birds from 3 mls yes 3 mls what happen he let first batch 300 go before they could go in the loft he let another 300 go the first batch went back and they clashed in the final only 2 birds on the day 2nd bird 4 hrs behind owned by a chap from NI

Brings me back to question regarding training etc;.

Cannot think with so many pigeons hens and cocks are in separate paniers for training or racing, this could cause problems.

so it seems that jerremy is only taking in 1,000 birds at his new one loft next year, and not 1,500 like other years ......does he know something we dont maybe ?

Thought the loft belonged to the RPRA membership.

Does he intend using the other loft on the site ?.

Maybe he thinks if he loses the same number as with the RPRA OL he will only have a handful to train and use the boot.

Regards.

reading a statement from Jeremy on the Premier olr he will lose money strange as it had nothing to do with him

as far as i know misty jerremy owns the land but the rpra own he lofts, hence the membership own the lofts ......the whole thing was very suspicious from the beginning, starting another one loft on the same site as the rpra one loft.

What I cannot understand is how the RPRA allowed two lofts on the same site.

I know David Trippet who wrote a glowing letter in the BHW is a good guy., if he is the same one I have met at shows etc;

There may be more involved than meets the eye.

Good Evening
Late update but the Rpra One Loft birds are looking great they have been open loft for a few hours each day bathing etc.
Monday weather permitting it’s back training for them and up until Thursday.
I am gradually changing the feed to the mixture and system I raced The UK Premier birds on which is proven to work.
I am looking forward to the final race and the birds will be ready.

so the 700 birds lost was down to bad feeding
