Pigeon Talk

[biophiliac]

Thanks for asking. I was embaressed to! Lol. You should talk a bit more to him and then could get some racing blood in your loft

Don't ever let embarrassment stand in the way of learning my friend!

Same here, didn’t know what it meant.

I read a lot, including British writers, so I am kinda surprised the expression was new to me. I had a sense that was the meaning but had to confirm. I'm a bit of a language geek.

Instead of shut the front door, I sometimes say "call that pigeon back" lol.

I like that!

Makes sense though, if you leave your loft door open you will have to call the escapees back.

"All the singing, all the dancing" can't you just visualize the happy pigeons cooing and strutting next door!

All my pigeons are belgian racers. Boomer was a stray. She is the one I started with. Then I bought 5 adults from a guy who was finishing. I lost one early on from that five. I had two pairs that I bred eight youngsters from. One of those adults didn't return. Then I had two ferals one with a broken wing and a youngster that had hurt itself in the stables. That one ended up not returning after a loft flight and the one with the broken wing currently lives in a rabbit hutch whilst I figure what to do with her. There is a bit of history between my neighbour and me but I am a member of the RPRA so I can join another club if I want. I just wanted to get a full loft the returning first so next year hopefully thing will gather pace! 13 birds isn't many so I need a bigger loft and increase my numbers!
ETA thread link.
This is a thread I started when I first found boomerUK pigeon owners

I just read (or re-read?) the first several pages of your thread. Still amazed at how Boomer adopted you. Such a heartwarming story.

I really like those whites. The beginning of the video is how mine looks now.
(I really need to cull some extra chicken rooster to free up some space)
