pmsl

Once it's in your blood it is hard to leave the sport

I still look in the skies every day when i see a shadow move

iknow don, every sound i hear of birds flying over i look up thinking its pigeons........usually is the sound is un mistakable when you have kept them before...

Yes your right there

Yes the famous whoosh as they pass over your head

As i don't keep any pigeons at this moment in time i can still smell pigeons just as the season is about to start

Hi Don do you have a loft and are just having a time out or have you stopped altogther?
It still amazes me that all the people walk around on Saturday doing shopping and other stuff, they are totaly unawear of the battle in the skies. The thousand upon thousand birds racing to get home.
Bloody hell now i know why im always walking into things IM LOOKING UP AND NOT WHERE IM GOING

like i said amanda its a drug

I am tottally adicted to the sport, eating , drinking, sleeping, and thinking it almost 90% of my day, Keep thinking of their performances so far, and fancying my new breeding pairs.
Funny, i also look a lot into the sky, even when i am on shift

its true what you all say, ive heard the top men run their whole live around the pigeons.......it is a drug ian, and like all others is hard to stop. i dont think there is much time in the day when im not thinking about them, if im working i am thinking about them, if im shopping i think about them and even when im sleeping i think about them......its strange really when you think about how pigeons can do that to humans and get them totally absorbed in them ? if i could get a caravan over to my lofts at the bottom of our garden i would live in it and hardly ever go home....

Bloody hell David you've got it bad mate. I hope you dont tell your wife she has beautiful skin feathers, and has the most wonderful eye sign you've ever seen pmsl

its a rough old bird amanda........plumage isnt what it used to be, but the old stock hens still got a round or two left in her......p.m.s.l.......

The main thing David is i beat if she was your widowhood hen you would still race as fast as you could to get home

AY MATE

Amanda i am having a long break not to long though, this is due to work, family,college and trying to make the best of my young son's special years which i don't want to miss out on

Pigeon racing will always be around in the next ten years, i stopped racing 10 years ago but i have always kept in touch with fellow friend fanciers, i have had pigeons from the age of 5 years old

I visited Malta 7 years ago and meet several fanciers and one fancier wanted my address to write to me and we still keep in touch now and with a little help i have been able to help him gain good results

As you can see amanda i also love this sport and miss it a lot and hopefully so i can restart fingers crossed

good thing your doing there don, even tho i was out for 20 years i still think i missed out a bit on my daughters younger years through one thing or another.....sometimes i wish she was a baby again....lol as you say, pigeon racing isnt going anywhere and will be waiting for you when you decide to restart and if you need any ybs you can count on me to breed you some, and im sure most of our members would do the same. sounds like you have not lost any of your knowleage of pigeon racing so i would bet you would get straight back into in easily enough....
