Think got to give it a go and so long as we can learn and tweak things before they cause real problems then can't see how it can be any worse than people are saying it is now it could even be better least it would be out in the open to discuss.

Hi I’ve moved to London in 2023 feb in my home country I used to have some highflying Pigoen and I was a student so I couldn’t afford racing Pigoen so from rn I started saving money after watching ur videos which has motivated me a lot in the end can you give me some I dea how can I start a loft and how could I get good racer Pigoen it will really help me thanks for ur service bye

You need a few droppers ones no good

Loads of downsides

I’m new to the sport, I was a lecturer in animal care and we used pigeons in lots of different lessons. From husbandry, training, welfare, health and disease but as I had no idea about racing we didn’t race them. Why are colleges not competing in college pigeon clubs. This is a unique opportunity for learners to work with pigeons and enjoy the racing. I’m 41 years old and only had one season, I LOVE the sport but it is soooooo prehistoric and disorganised, it needs to be reborn and some younger blood and ideas implemented to survive, the old guys are incredible and so passionate but if this sport is to continue we need to bring it to 2025 and start using more technology and have a clear marketing strategy on growing number. I talk to so many people about this who now love the idea but the infrastructure only suits the older demographic. Please keep up the work Dan, we need you and so does pigeon racing

Cracking chat this

thankyou dan hope things get a bit better

Hello from Australia, top video, Good information.

Simply form a NEW Union and let the RPRA fade into history.

Too many chiefs, and not enough Indians. The RPRA are suck in the 1950s.

Its a World wide thing , with any club or federation when you are dealing with Money ! You will always have the hard nosed ones that do not want to change anything despite any Logical explanations for a change. And members that simply do not vote or go to the AGMs but they expect actions. Unfortunately some of older ones running the clubs do not like change and are scared of the new technology available but it makes things so much easier. Though it does replace human Jobs!. But In the long run Tech is far more transparent than pen and pencil if done correctly. I have seen this happening in many Bird clubs and bird Federation in New Zealand. You have to upgrade to be more Efficient. Without changes you can not go forwards and Grow, it just stands still going no where. Thanks for reading my 2 cents worth lol. Great to hear you Dan and Ian. Always enjoy your you tube videos Dan very educational and fun too.

gudday from australia

Mark lyford knows what he's talking about

Juat discovered your channel, awsome content and narration. Love the extra ling videos!! Great job

Coool.

watching from Philippines

Great videos we really find them useful!

Great video and content. Keep it up! Great for newcomers!

It's just keeping ther heads on soon as ther heads go finished quality ❤❤

Once again,this video by Nigel speaks more sense than anything else,that I have come across in recent years....this is one video deserves the highest praise in giving some really outstanding advice, winning races becomes easy "when" you know what you are doing !....I hopethat it will not be long before we hear from Nigel again.

I like the drink analogy. Thats a good way to explain genetics to new fanciers

Brian clayburn had some Jo's soogens just as good

We're are the karel hermans pigeons that were famous for sprint racing in to Yorkshire??

When it come to the timer and the light it’s was always better for me to have my lights come on at midnight and go off at 0700. I lost eggs and babies before because I originally set the lights to come on at sundown and go off in the middle of the night. When the lights go off in the middle of the night sometimes the birds are off the nest and can’t get back and the eggs and babies freeze to death. The birds can naturally sit on the eggs at sundown. Just a suggestion so you don’t experience any losses.

Hi mate, just wondering if you have an email i can contact or even a phone number, would be massively appreciated

Watched all your videos but really liked and enjoyed the yearly recap👍. Well done and keep the content coming,please👌

Top the fed already well done

One of the best chanals on u tube

Great work Dan. Amazing videos, great production.

A quarter past the century and I just printed an ARPU membership application which had to be reformated to be fillable, put a $30 tellers check in it and mailed it. There is a huge generational gap right now because of the resistance to change and the lack of keeping up with the modern world/technology. Coolest hobby ever but the inconvenience at every turn within the governing body is killing it.

Love the videos, keep up the good work👍

I thought about getting pigeons. I had a loft build, but it is empty. Do you know any good breeders to get birds off, or would you sell them, and i also join a club this year

Are u going to blackpool

If u put a wire door on that loft u could leave main door open in summer

Allwne paddy pigeons takes some beating in the doncaster erea

Allwin paddy pigeons

Ally win paddy pigeons

So passionate and knowledgable and a gentleman. You could not meet a nicer guy.

What a true pigeon man no secrets they great video mate

What a clever pigeon man he knows what he s talking about

Hopefully this man is listened to and everything goes thru

Ok, I have only just joined the racing pigeon game, and when I say only, I’m yet to have a race…..but I am ready to get some young birds etc,,,in Jan,and do have some stock birds…. I’m not new to Pigeons, but the sport and politics are new to me, the racing club I have joined is very small and a very close group. The RPRA seems to be an odd set up, I have heard it called a business on more than one occasion, yet votes are needed to change how it works, despite it costing more money to run than its pulling in, that doesn’t work, it changes, or it goes under? You are right, people don’t want a say, they just expect it to work…..but again, if it aint coming in, it can’t go out, so there is only one outcome, if it doesn’t change??

Change will only work, with people working together. To move the sport forward, and make the sport more affordable and getting members back to having their say.

Very well put together! Absolutely what is required at the RPRA right now! Well done Dan & Ian, as well as the others involved in the proposals! Fingers crossed we can can get this through as many regions as possible and set the mandate of change! The outcry from last year should show that there are still many people who are interested in the change! Atb! 🎉

Brilliant Idea bout time We add change.
