Had my first ever old bird race 7th april ( Wollaston )
Only have yearlings and lost 2 from 8 up to now.
Only clocked the 1 and was well behind in the club ( i clocked just under 3 hrs and club winner just over 2 hrs )
Was told later, not a race for yearlings ( weather ) but you live and learn i suppose.
one things for sure, can only get better

All the best for the season everyone

Tony.

Tony you did well mate to send and have one to time in because the weather was not good and Wollaston is a bit of a dog hole mate so don't be disappointed mate every week is a learning curve

So well done mate keep at it

just out of curiosity what is the longest time that it has took a bird to reach home from a training toss or a race. im not expecting too many replies from this as i expect that people dont like to admit failures where there is competition

also at what age is a young bird classed as an old bird

andy

The training toss depends on the pigeon because once in the sky they are anyones

Young birds are only young birds for the year they are born the following year they become old birds at a year old

Hope that helps Andy were abouts in the midlands do you live mate
