steve t 1,354 Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 @gnipper where I grew up it was all racing pigeons but in the estates of Edinburgh it was those doo type huts. I thought it was just the way tumblers and rollers were kept didn't know it was about trapping pigeons. Very interesting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very interesting Edinburgh and Glasgow there used to be a lot of doo men, even shops dedicated to it up there. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me, Glasgow people are down to earth, friendly, straightforward. They speak openly about sex. Edinburgh folk are more remote, consider themselves posher and keep themselves to themselves. They think 'sex' are devices for holding coal. Edited October 29 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The birds which survived generally only had wing damage. A friend of mine also kept pricked birds and a pair actually bred. I can't imagine this one lasting long Juk. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
