racing pigeons?..............found this one

[paulus 26]

when i roost shoot one of the local woods in late winter, the next day i always find piles of feathers from pigeons the foxs have found but the dogs didnt :laugh: im fairly sure there pricked birds that fall from their roost overnight

Need a good Lab mate.?.............

do they fly and climb trees as well as lick pots then

They just stand under the tree and give me that...."Its up there" look....................

looking for devine intervention

The first one was Peter the pigeon, he actually landed in my yard, was attracted by the dogs. His owner lived in Scotland and drove for hours to collect him, even brought a hen bird to keep him company on the way home, Peter was used to his dogs. When i put his name on here some of the pigeon lads knew of him, said some of his birds were worth thousands.

 

A makeshift fire guard pigeon trap....and it worked

 

 

 

 

Then one time it was a little sweet sounding old man, told me his pigeons were his pride and joy, he wanted the bird back but could not afford the courier charges, only on a little pension, etc etc. So i agreed to sort that out to get the bird back to him. The courier, bless him charged me less when i told him the story. A few hours later the courier rang me up, he was so annoyed he had to tell me, the place he delivered the bird to was huge and posh, he said the guy could have easily afforded the van never mind the fee

 

This one used to let the grower chicks keep warm under it

 

My mate said he's had loads of sob stories over the years when other people's birds turn up at his and used to go out of his way to return them but now they get tipped back out. It's always their best racer too, can't be that good if its been on its jollies for weeks.

I think that is the one on the growers. I fed it up and released it, as per owner instructions
