the 3 injured birds are

stormy gb23851 two bad legs but hope they mend soon
pete gb23850 cut to underside and limping on one leg
boxer gb01777 bad wing cant reach perch but not broken

sorry this has come about but there is nothing i can do once there released from the loft some may work back as for the injured ones its going to take time how long i dont know but they wont go training till they are flying and not limping they may have to miss the first few races and go into the come back races ill have to wait and see

the rest of the birds are still a little nerves but they went out tonight and flew for 40 minutes if you have any questions please ask as ive said i have to look after whats there still but im gutted for the ones missing seeing empty perches and injured birds isnt nice please have a thought for them who are birds missing

you just do what you think best g,i,m sure everyone will be ok with this,just a suggestion i see martins both have gone ,so if its ok he can have one of mine and maybe make a donation towards the prise fund,just a suggestion as i say.i understand if this is not possible.thanks ray

chin up mate don't worry about it hopefully others may work back
but doubt it as this year yb don't seem to be coming back
1 down for me now hopefully the other 1 can carry my flag
we started with 41 ourselves are down to 24 and 4 of them are injured have only had 1 come back after a few days this year and no bird have been reported at all

Thanks Ray very sporting of you mate, but I would rather you keep your own as that's just the way pigeon racing is you take a chance, and I have been unlucky so wouldn't be fair to others...but thanks very kind offer.

sporting gesture ray i feel for martin and the rest but like fletch says look around whats happening its fact they just aint working back
its not the case the birds are not good enough its the fear they get when hit some may split in a batch of 10 some may split in a batch of 30 some just scatter and flt so far there to dehydrated to think where they are and return lets not forget the only place they know where to get food and water is from the loft its not automatic they just see corn and water in a garden or field they just want home some fly themselfs to death trying sad but today all very true

think its the patern nowerdays G I know a guy not far from me has had 2 chucks he droped 10 at the first 17 at the second its just yer luck best of luck lets hope some more work home sean

just talking about this yesterday.all the hard work to get ybs to this stage,then lose big numbers in one training chuck or whatever.its heartbreaking

You done you're best graham, can't ask any more mate. Once they're in the skies theyre never yours'. Knocks you down for a while but at the end of the day we all know there's a lot worse happens in life....puts pigeons in perspective. Keep smiling.

i know what ya saying lads but when there someone elses birds its a bit harder
if there your own its not to bad but like you say it happens just feel bad for them who have lost birds and the injured ones anyway there all out in the baskets in the sun with drinkers on see how tonights flying goes just take it one step at time for now hope to have um back on road wednesday or thursday just play it by ear
