pigeon update 23rd Oct

Dear Syndicate,

It's cold and dark in the mornings now, I can't wait until the clocks go back, but on the other hand it'll be really dark in the evening and closing the birds in the dark isn't much good either.  At least the loft building is keeping us warm!  Although its quite impossible to build in the dark.  Summer is best for pigeon fancying.  (But breeding in spring is pretty good too!)

We put the pigeon that has been living at home with us for the last three weeks back in the loft today, she's not quite right but she needs to be with her mates if she's going to get fully back to normal.  She was really happy to see everyone again!  The other one that was bad is fine now, but one is still really bad and is still in a separate area.  

We've finally made a Project Pigeon website - www.project-pigeon.co.uk - which has got a lot of info about what we've been doing, although there is more to put on.

Its the Federation 'do' on 19th November, its the yearly get together for all the pigeon men in Birmingham, with food and prizes for the very best fanciers  We're going to take the Arts on the Move bus and run some pigeon workshops.  I'm not sure if we get our certificates and prize money then or if we get them at the club prize giving, I think it'll be at the club prize giving but I'm not sure when that'll be yet.

We need to write a book about pigeon fancying.

Yours in Sport,

Project Pigeon
