your so funny don should be in the clubs as a comedian

Cheers mate thank you

my pleasure

yes was only pulling yer leg i new you didnt wash that pigeon with shampoo

so am i i do wash my pigeons with shampoo

Ian you know you can and do mate

dont forget the head and shoulders i did see some handruff on that pied

i remember years ago when entering the club shows i would wash the bnirds and dry them, then i would stroke talc into the body and feathers to make therm soft and powdery...........then when id washed their feet they were ready to go.


oh, and any bent flights were straightened by holding the wing/tail over a boilibg kettle which would soon put them back into place.

yes well i will be glad to get them paired up now still three weeks away so i wont be going in to next show david

ok john, no problem.......thanks for entering and supporting the site and the shows over the weeks.

im still focused on 5th feb to pair up and at the moment am treating for cocci for 7 days in the water, then after three days of honey they will be treated for canker which will leave me a week to get all the bowls and cups/drinkers all cleaned and sorted out before pairing.

no probs you did a great job again david looking forward to all the winners going up against one another will be interesting this year

yes it will john, theres some very nice birds among them...........so it will be hard to choose a winner of winners.
