We are working flat out now preparing to move to St Arnaud. After months of not much happening we are now on a time line, :D
My good mate David is gathering things up at his freight depot in Bendigo.
We were talking about the breeding season coming, and one pigeon came up.
Last year he was on the other side of the country, in Perth, for his daughter's basketball competition. For a week or so I was caring for his pigeons, and selected a team to go to the big combine race. He won it :D He was very pleased and kept telling me I won the combine :lol:
Anyway, on the phone, he said to me, there's a pair of youngsters on the floor in the end section.
Yes, I said.
Take one, he said. So I took the pied hen.
Yesterday I asked him what the young hen was off.
He told me. :o :o :o :o
Greetings from the land down under. :D
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for verily, he shall not be disappointed.

And, this is embarrassing, the hen has seldom been handled. So when I went to pick her up to check her ring number she dived away and I pulled three feathers out of her tail. :( :oops:
I look forward to getting my pigeons back in the loft. The poor buggers have spent six months in a chook shed.

Great to see things are finally looking like you’re going to be able to get settled into your new home. Hope all goes well.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

They are mostly 300 mile races.
