Guest Ant   #1 Posted September 6, 2012 Is there anyone on here who has a good deal of experience keeping - and preferably racing - pigeons?  I'm writing a radio play about a Derby pigeon fancier and I've a few questions that are mounting up that I've not come across the answers to in my research. I just need someone in the know to whom I can send the odd quick question, either on here or by email.  Anyone willing to help that knows pigeons inside out, upside down, and if it's not asking too much, back to front?

Guest Ant   #4 Posted September 6, 2012 Hmm. Not the greatest move I've seen, shunting this to 'Pet Owners', given that the very person I'm after may not keep pigeons any more and may not have a pet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I thought it might be better in here as I know that there are several pigeon fanciers use the group so was actually trying to help...will put it back if you prefer but I warn you that anything remotely pet related will probably end up here in the end anyway.

Guest Ant   #8 Posted September 6, 2012 You're welcome!  I've found that since JoeP left many moons ago, this forum suffers very badly at the hands of trolls. I try not to use it because of that - a serious attempt at setting the tone for the thread can very often get chewed up and spat out as a dozen clever dicks post inane one-liners and digs - some subjects are more prone to it than others.  I've found it helps, a little, to growl at the first person that indulges. No offense.  Now, firmly back on topic. Anything else remotely unrelated or unhelpful will incur the click of a report button. No idea if that will get a result, but there you go.  ...Pigeon fanciers, anybody? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest Ant   #10 Posted September 6, 2012 You, Moonbird, are a little star.  I'll send out a few tentative pms and ask for the thread to be whisked away if I can find a helpful pigeon lover.  Thank you!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
