Pigeon racing

[@TERRYKOPITE1]

Great to watch the brilliant sport again i had to give my birds up due to Asbestosis i still watch any videos and read anything to do with these warriors of the sky enjoy your fabulous hobby lads thank you YNWA

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thank you Terry , much appreciated mate

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Right lads a great days racing for us today , first and foremost we are only waiting on one pigeon to return so as we hoped they just kept coming. A brilliant pigeon today who is well clear in the fed and so far I haven’t seen a bird in our section to touch her but it’s still early days and a few feds to come in yet but either way I can’t see many to beat her . The hen we clocked first is the oldest pigeon In the race team and is the nest sister to our super racer the mayflower . As always thanks for all your support it’s greatly appreciated 👍

Richie, Richie, Richie. . AGAIN mate, congratulations 🎊 what a great video mate. Not seen the results yet but I would bet she's in there mate the way she came compared to the rest of your great team, if she hasn't won, she's defo not far away. You really do make my Saturday watching your videos. Good luck lads, 👍 fingers crossed for you mate.

Thanks Gary , it’s well clear in fed and section mate 👍

[@davidmitchard1330]

Hello Richie, a tuff day's racing for you today, this year's weather has been so unpredictable to gauge how the pigeons cope with the conditions on any given weekend. Your first pigeon certainly pulled all the stop's out to get home, hope the rest work back in. Regards Dave.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Looking good David , only one short and she’s well clear in the fed 👍

[@denisbilkey4033]

Just an update as I’m 99% certain she wins the section , I haven’t seen anything close to her and I’m pretty confident I have most of the results in 🤞

[@anthonymoore8876]

U and your dad deserve a good win like this put the work in and had some close 1 just beat this season well done lads

[@alibrospigeons8317]

⁠thanks Anthony mate , we said last year what we went through would take us 2 yrs to rebuild , your right we have hit the post a lot this season but overall I’m happy with what they have done , yes it’s not where we were 2 years ago topping the fed 10x with old birds but I think come next season we will be back to full strength with a strong team of yearlings and 2yr olds , so all in all I take a lot of confidence from this year mate 👍

[@AndrewKenmare]

[@alibrospigeons8317]

British summer time mate , a joke unfortunately

[@LeginWinn]

That race be about 143 miles from,from the time of liberation how long did it take your first bird.what is the fastest time for a pigeon done from that distance

[@alibrospigeons8317]

The birds did 55mph yesterday , but there was a race I can’t remember if it was this season or last doing 85mph , I honestly couldn’t tell you what speed they could achieve as I guess it all depends how strong a tail wind it is 👍
