take no notice of the whingers g as anyone with any salt would know how difficult and unpredictable ybs can be in their preparation for racing ...so much can go wrong no matter how hard you try...things out of your hands....I am shocked that some individuals have complained and as you say let them try it next year ...good luck with the rest of the test birds

100% right mate i believe everyone round my way is loosing a good % of yb
take no notice mate i feel u doing a grand job

The only peoples opinions that count are the fanciers whos pigeons are lost, Which means me as I lost 2 first toss, and As I have good experience of pigeons being lost through no fault of their own Im staying silent.

I think you have done a great job so far and you are doing your best with them, things can happen in a second, let the fancier who,s never had a bump speak now or forever say sod all.

I hope you are the man doing the test loft again next year as I will be in it again, and if your not the man doing it I will be disappointed.

name them.i would..your doing an excellent job unlike some on here in the past

I think he may be talking about me Ray to be honest.

What I asked was "what birds are left" because what is the point worrying about the 1's that are not in the loft , I've been told that on the site many a time by many people Ray.

And I think I said "not good if the test loft has gone t**s up in the 1st week" now I don't think that is having a go at anybody at all.

Do you???

Disaster took this from another site

Took 54 to 12 mile for their first toss tonight. Let out and got wacked by 2 peregrines. Not seen a feather. Totally chessed off.

12 or 2 miles dosent matter but the result deverstateing

Sorry mate the last post dont make any sense

its plain enough to read someone on another site has lost 54 birds in 1 hit tonight

I thought we were talking about the Test loft race !

Everybody loses birds training G its what happens, Its like you told me many times concentrate on the 1s in the loft there's nothing you can do about them when they are in the air.

I'm not blaming you for anything, all I wanted to know was what birds were left because I told someone about it and they ask if their bird was still there.
Don't think people are digging at you because they arn't, you've got nothing but support from everybody on the site.
It feels crap when you lose birds either off the loft, training or from a race, but everyone on here knows it happens, just try get your chin up and plough on.

All the best Steve

I personally think saying the Test loft has gone t**s up first week is out of order big time, As this clearly isn't the truth, he simply had a bad toss, Its easy to splash about comments which are not helpful...If I thought my season had gone t**s up with a bad toss, then I would be thinking it every day every toss, as all mine are crap, I have lost 26 ybs so far this season.

The perigrines hit my ybs every toss without fail and it really does piss me off but there is nothing I can do about it and I just get on with it.
Im not sure if you have entered the test loft? I hope you have as that does give you a right to a comment, even if its negative, if you haven't then I wouldn't comment any more If I were you.

I have 2 birds in the test loft thanks, and I was talking to another site member in the chat room, you need to have read the context in which the comments were made.
as a member of the site and the Test loft race I feel I can discuss both the race and any other topic posted on the site.
So I would prefer it if you didn't tell me what or when I can say anything.

Its not your position to say really is it.

And the comments were not splashed about it was a discussion between 2 members on chat.

i agree martin and as for someone eles asking you steve if there bird is there why not ask the man who knows and t**s up and all in a week hurt but from now on i know what im up against so i wont worry what gets lest some have lost 2 some 1 some none we shall see but thanks for asking about the welfare of them and confidence in me good look to them who get to the end ill be up at 4am baskert them clean them will you

I don't need to worry about them G your looking after them and you have had birds long enough.
I'm sure IF the person who asked me if their bird was still there was a member of the site she would have asked you herself, but as she has no way of contacting you I did it for her.
Anything in life can go t**s up at any time G and 9 times out of 10 its no bodies fault, Shit happens, you have been accused of nothing, if I was unhappy YOU are the 1st person I would come to, and I think you know that.
We have talked about a lot touchier subjects in chat and no offence has been taken, I can assure you no offence was meant and if you have taken offence then i'm sorry, it was 2 members chatting that's all.
Now hopefully lets hope that's the end of the issue.
If I was being sneaky, sniedy or anything else would i have posted that I think you were talking about comments I had made ??
