i dont think it is just the racing pigeon sport in decline, every sport as its price. Most sport can be watched on TV, which helps in the pocket. The sad thing about the racing pigeon sport. Like King says this as been going on for a good number of years. It is a case of clinging on to what we have....

It looks like it was a very hard race Murray, I must say i have traveled from Bendingo to St Arnaud with yourself. It is one hell of a journey for the birds I would say, even on a very good day.
Hope all the birds arrived home safe and well.

Cloudy start to the day, I hope the day improves.

Good morning all.

Cloudy start to the morning, some rain overnight.

Good morning all.

Sun up early, with a gentle breeze.

Good morning all.

I would be furious if my young birds behaved like that. I took my Youngstars 22 miles this afternoon, they landed together and all were in within 10 seconds. I was standing next to the sputnik and all I could see was feet dropping towards me. This is simply what I expect from pigeons that are ready...

We all have different views on how we train young birds, but what is important is. What works for you and your birds, it is all about getting into a routine. This helps in the training of youngsters, what are your thoughts?
