I am pretty easy going about it. I've got pigeons in the Horsham race, I took some for David to race for me and I'm sending a couple to the OLR in Melbourne.
Besides that there's a bloke I sent 4 off the first round to, and I got a call from him today. After inquiring about each other's health, our family's health, wishing each other a Merry Christmas, there was an awkward pause.
I asked if he would like some more youngsters.
Oh yes please!
I've got 5 nest babies nearly standing up in the nest. So I said he could have 4 of those. He's driving 100 kilometres to get them when they are weaned.
I was planning on keeping them, but the Trillian Baby and Roadrunner are on eggs that might hatch on my birthday and the Billion Baby and the Zilzie Baby both laid their second eggs again today. So I have some more on order

It’s a shame when no one wants the secretary job or the club gets too small. I have been secretary in 2 different clubs. It is far easier now than it used to be with modern technology. Used to take hours on a Sunday filling out results and sending them off to feds and combines. Having to then post them first thing Monday morning. Now it’s just the push of a button on Saturday night. Job done.
