The whites are my own birds, not anybody else's bloodline.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the stock birds, it's the training. I didn't train them well enough to pull out in strong tail winds.

@Rev792 You make a very good point. I had a look at the Federation results for the 8 races so far and 7 of them were won with 2nd place behind by between 1 and 27 seconds, according to Par Time. The Gunning race on June 8th had a win with 5 seconds to 2nd, 7 seconds to 3rd and 22 seconds to 4th, according to Par Time. Gundagai Sale Yards race, also on June 8th had 1 second PAR Time from 1st to 2nd and velocities of 1855.939 and 1855.78. Those 2 fliers were some distance apart on different sides of Sydney. If I remember correctly clubs get allocated a loading location on the truck, so those with a lower loading location could have a 30 second advantage over the top row. I don't think this issue is new and it is perhaps better to have an incremental safe release rather than a simultaneous release with possibility of injury.

Two comments: 1, each club is allocated COLUMNS on the truck, not rows. This means the top and bottom positions are equally distributed between the clubs. 2, if you've ever actually attended a liberation you'd know that the birds do not leave instantly. It takes at minimum 2-5 minutes, and the birds from all baskets group together before leaving. This staggered release over 30 seconds is for the safety of the birds and prevents injuries from clashes in a mob release.

380-400km next week

@@AdamArcherPigeons Succes

They are in extremely good condition, I really can't explain why they were so late this week. Hopefully the extra distance next week helps!

We do not see everything that happens in a race I like swindell of NI any bird that comes back even weeks later is welcome to stay things happen out there ? Maybe they had to detour around bandits 6 o'clock high - who knows

They didn't go, they had short fligh feathers. Hopefully they'll be ready this week. If I sent them I would have pointed them out.

@AdamArcherPigeons watched kurts videos was raining in wa also. Interesting to see if you both could make super pigeons. With a combined breeding programme

That's short, we will be at 900km+ in 2 or 3 months

@@AdamArcherPigeons O great 👍

No, they are here to race.

@@AdamArcherPigeons not even a quick pairing

They're here for a specific race in August, would be madness to try and breed from them in the middle of a winter race preparation.

Help with kurt tiger grizzle project

I do, I think there is a home evaluation option but you'd be best to discuss that with your local ToPigeon rep 👍👍

@@AdamArcherPigeons No, I’m in my second season of racing and we bring in the clocks just on shipping night. Which is nice because the club is an hour away. What do you do at the club for close up of the race? Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you, I put A LOT of work into keeping them healthy 👍

They chase the falcons off, they're allies around here!

Kurt needs the magpies in wa.
