nans pat 2,575 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 fella here hardly ever scrapes out shite bout 9inchs deep sez thats deep litter. whats the craic there,,is he right or just a dirtbird. All lofts/yards/kennels have a level of bacteria or germs, and the birds or what ever stock will be immune to it, but if they move to a different loft or what ever with different levels then that's when the dangers arise if that makes sense ? hes using frey bentos pie tins for nesting bowls ffs you should see this set up.lol but the birds keep coming back,wonder they dont fxxk off, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevo79 569 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I found the only thing I didn't enjoy about racing pigeons was the club scene. I made some good friends but the political bullshit that comes with racing pigeons is unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I'm waiting for them to come back I've a rough idea but never know when. But once your into racing watching the birds round home is one of the best bits. If you've not got the interest in them they are more trouble then they are worth. Edited to say if you see 30secs of the race you've not won need to be trapping quicker than that haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
