Hi , Im sorry to here that , ,,,, I think we should be allowed to use GPS trackers on our birds when they go racing so we the fancier gets to see what route the birds took , take care .
Hi Paul, yes so far it,s been for nothing , i can only hope the rest work thier way back home . it was thirsk 131 mls s/sw wind and i never got a feather until 12.10 pm ,, and they were up at 6,30 am .take care .
Young bird is so different to the 70’s/80’s. I use to breed 16 YBS,and end up with 10/12,all flown to 210 miles. Nowadays I don’t race,but if I did,they would be raced to 100 miles then stopped. Hope you get some late ones back.
HI George , yes its alot different from the 80,s and 90,s i,m old school george i have flown pigeons for 50 years and back in the 80, and 90, this never happened , there was always 3 ,4 5 ,birds waiting to get in on the sunday morning , now that dossent happen . some fanciers are now saying it can,t all be down to raptors . what do you think george . take care .
I’ve seen a lot of this year more than most but listening to a lot of people losing birds the week before young bird sickness then they miss a week or 2 then send again and lose some more i think it takes 4 full weeks to get over sickness before the birds are back to full strength
Hi Sleepwalk , it shocking whats going on at the momment with huge losses everywhere , There is a guy down england his name is Kyle , he has 4 big cages and has over 400 racing pigeons , thats alot of strays , the weather wasint to clever either . my next race is Harrowgate 143 mls i have 25 young birds left so i may send 12 to 15 this weekend . take care .
Hi Brian , yes i will race them out , the good thing is i have secured my old bird team for next year i bred 18 young birds back in febuary from some stock birds i bought at my friend Tam Mclouds Sale . along with 16 old birds , so 34 in total , take care .

Hi Brian , yes i,m going to race them right down the road , i have already got my old bird team for next year 38 and wah ever lasts the season , take care .

Hi Kerbyjackson, thanks for getting in touch , thats what alot of uk fanciers are saying it can,t all be down to raptors , Personaly i think the ETS has alot to do with the huge losses , back in the day this NEVER Happened , there was a;ways birds sitting waiting to get in ,, I think we should all go back to the race rubbers , What about last year when 10,000 racing pigeons ended up in spain , there are pigeon faniers all over the uk giving up the sport ,, , pigeon racing is worth 1 Billion pounds to our Economy ,,, Something NEEDS to change , Take care .
Hi , thanks for getting in touch, this NEVER happened in the past , 80,s and 90,s uesing race rubbers , the problem has gotten worse since the ETS was introduced , these huge losses are Not all down to Raptors something else is going on . take care .

I see a lot of birds stay with the flocks in the streets to never return to the loft again
Seems to happen to our club.every year... Alot of us lose 50% of team in first two races???
I’ve seen a lot of this year more than most but listening to a lot of people losing birds the week before young bird sickness then they miss a week or 2 then send again and lose some more i think it takes 4 full weeks to get over sickness before the birds are back to full strength
Wow that's a big % lost buddy 😮
Feel for you and fanciers in the same position Andy ,hope some work their way home at some point.

Yeah I know I will probably retire if the losses continue is just not worth the time and money and afford
Goes on here in the States, too and not just YB. I think Birds of Prey are a big factor, but it's not the only factor.
