ive a kit flying

Will get some pics of a few of mine tomorrow, got some high flyers, fantails, shortnosed pigeons as well as my racers. will say the eyes of highflyers are really nice.

look forward to seeing them alex do you get long hours out ov yours?

they have done about 11hrs mate. Not worried about pushing them to 15, purely for the fact I just have them to look after

My birds fly for about 10 mins and they have flown all I ask of them but they more or less open hole a bird dont have to fly for hours to be fit I have found when you go to longer races two three short ones then jump them in if your bird is right they will do the job

ah right, so ginger....do you not bother too much about how long your ybs exercise around home...? or even your old birds....?

thinking about it tho you do have problems training dont you because the island is very small......?
