redial 81 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Join a local club members will give a novice young birds ,the cash outlay is the loft an old shed will do with a trap fitted ,pick up a clock second hand,but go to a club you will find very helpful people some will show you there set up. You cant match sitting in the garden looking to the sky waiting for your birds,Ive lost touch with corn prices ,some members get together and bulk buy to keep costs down and in the winter a resting mix is a little cheaper or go to farms buy corn/beans.I sadly gave up because of ill health.

blackfell 16 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 hi if you find a local club to you, im sure alot of lads would start you up with birds for free ,an old clock or loan of a basket etc,best way to find a local club is by looking at r.p.r.a or n.e.h.u websites. if i can help i will just let me know blackfell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimster68 123 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) keeping racing pigeons is expensive i raced them for years ,but due to the cost and having a young family i had to pack in .if you take it up it can become addictive and theres lots of fun to be had . You can go to any club and you will be welcomed with open arms as the sport is in such decline new members are always welcome . But as also sugested you could get some fancy pigeons just for the garden ,i keep a few indian fantails in an avary at the bottom of the garden, these are ornamental pigeons that can barely fly. Here are some pictures of birds i bred last year: Edited March 27, 2011 by jimster68 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
