Oh. for sure.

when I last saw them they were bunched up and heading in the direction of home. They have had about 10 tosses so they are getting the hang of it. Obviously a hawk, or hawks, have hit them.

Theres' plenty of them around here. :twisted:
Greetings from the land down under. :D

Good to hear they’re all back safe and sound. Won’t have done them any harm.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

They are everywhere, a big hen keeps coming here hovering just above lofts and going after neighbours birds took one couple weeks ago and crows stopped other attacks thankfully crows are building nest 2 gardens away so that and the magpies not forgetting seagulls a few hawks are sent packing

By the father of my Billion Dollar Baby, he’s mostly Heremans.
The mother is a Jansen. And the babies, both hens, have the beautiful soft, satiny plumage that you get from the Jansen.
When he came to collect them he insisted I keep one so I picked the finer one and he took the bigger one.
Next day she was out on the stock shed with her father.
She is gorgeous 🥰. What’s better than a Billion?
A trillion. That’s her name. Trillian. Like the Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy😁
Very nice mate 👍😁

No, Andy, it won't hurt them.

After a day inside because of the heat on Saturday, they were full of beans again yesterday.

I was walking past the loft and saw a little blue bar scoffing the feed in the sputnik.
I was not sure about it, so I went in and caught it. That immediately made me alert. I don't have to 'catch' my pigeons as a rule.
But it's one of mine alright. 2764. Went missing from a race last year.
The pigeon is in pretty good condition, certainly not like it has been living rough.
This is the second one to turn up like that. I am wondering, is someone around here keeping strays?
I am not happy. :evil:

Good to see its finally made it's way back Muzza, maybe somebody has bred gromit and then tried to break it !! I think that a fair few fanciers have so many birds that they wouldn't know if they had a stray or not 😬😡 There are others of course who just don't bother reporting them these days as they either get no reply or the same response of you can keep it !!!
