The day to day of looking after so many birds, you ask is this a sport or just a money making pot.

👍😊 I thought I had seen their name in one of your other posts !! I did have a Herbot pigeon years ago but honestly can't remember how I came by it or what it achieved, I really must go through some of my old records sometime as I'm sure it would make some interesting reading, maybe something for when I'm layed up after my Hernia operation 👍😁

I nice little clip. Yes I think for some it has certainly become more of a profession making money than a sport. I think some of these fanciers that keep large numbers of pigeons just rely on numbers to get results. There are a few of them over here. They then sell pigeons bred a couple of generations down from their best birds.
