hi all just wondering how people are and how there pigeons are doing so far this season, as noone seems to go on chat this is the only way to know. it would be good to see more people using chat just so we could all keep up with other success stories or there losses. hope more people come on soon.

Mike, young bird training has been a disaster for me this year. First training toss on 3rd July, I had a "Hawk Strike" which panicked the birds and they scattered far and wide. Of the 48 I took training, I have got 18 back, one was ripped on its back caused by a hawk, and later died. 2 more have sustained breast injuries caused by hitting wires. What was hoped to be a promising YB season has been shattered due to BOP. :grrrr!: I will hopefully be racing but I shall be missing the first few races so that the babies can regain their confidence. :it's :

Hi Mike , like bob i,m :not happy: as i too have been getting devastated with BOP 3 strikes in a week its getting now that i don,t want to take them any further and i,ve only been to the 10 mile mark yet , 7 y/birds down in 3 strikes
