Much appreciated Andrew thank you pal! 💪👍 all part and parcel of the sport….. Ahhh right I wish you all the best with it! Let me know how you get on Andrew 💪💪 take care pal 🤝
Hard to swallow when it happens mate I dunno how yous were out that morning was a miserable morning in the south the isrf went at 3 and horror stories for losses I heard Well done doh 2nd 3rd open super result
certainly is stevie!! its a job id never take tbh lol but looking at them webcams from carlow etc at 12:30 i just had that feeling! similar to the YB derby. but as you said horrors in all feds mate, just have to keep moving unfortunately, had everything set up for pigeons doing certain races so that plan went in the bin! Thanks pal appreciate it! take care youngster going well 💪💪
Really love your videos and the honesty about your birds.I know it's so hard to except Steven and unfortunately the birds have more than fair share of obstacles these days.I think your birds trapping is brilliant to watch,so kick on Steven.
I Appreciate that Declan thank you. Unfortunately you cant lie behind a camera lol suppose it highlights what many others feel when we hit a race like that..... but thank you Declan just have to keep moving forward pal 👏 thanks for watching mate 👍☺
another from the heart video , hard to watch in parts but as ever honest and true , you certainly kept me going with your support this week , fair play to you Stephen its clear to see just what them birds mean to you , chat soon regards Pete & Bernie
like all things in life pete, plenty of ups and downs! im sure i speak on behalf off the 1000s of fancier when things go pete tong! haha. you keep going! we will work through it pete give our best to bernie ❤
thats a good fed David! Yeah tbh david it makes it more of the mystery to us, that one section of cocks where tip top! but hey pigeons can learn you some lesson! i know nothing about them lol!!!!
Great result, your pigeons are a credit to you. I know where your at it was very warm but i can tell you here on the coast it was a day to wear a hat and coat
Yeah weather is one of them things especially when at them miles it’s hard to get it all right considering places have there on micro climate 😂😂 Thank for watching mate 👏🤝
Steven, your passion and your words shine through, ONLY because you care mate. Yes, your birds are more than birds, much more, and to those that do say, there only pigeons, are NOT true fanciers. Fingers crossed they will start dropping in for you over the next days. Congratulations on the result, keep going 👏 💪 👍
Chin up mate if you’ve had pigeons a long time which you have you know that this happens from time to time, anyway you had a great result in the race and that hen looks a million dollars and l don’t mean all green and crinkly so back on it for this weekend cheers all the best.
Everyone lost good birds last week mate, nature of the beast. It is very disappointing to lose good ones but as my grandfather always said,(We only have a lend of them) especially when they are in the sky. All the best this weekend.
What a credit too the sport you are. Dont beat yourself up and question your ability anything can happen on the line of flight things out of your control 🤞somemore work in for you.great result 👍🏴
Much appreciated Nicky it’s unfortunate these things happen and that it still affects us. Just look at all possible avenues to try and work out what has happened lol, but as you said we really don’t know what happens when them hampers open mate. We can only guess. Appreciate the words and watching Nicky you take care 🤝🤝
Well bro all a can say is Yer not alone. I'm the worst for getting attached to them and giving them silly names. Mine are more like pets ... The greatest stress relievers there is. But sickening when they don't come home. Keep the chin up
Certainly is brian, we just have to keep motoring on, one of the many reasons it’s tough losing them due to the attachment. But onwards we go 💪💪thanks chum! You too mate
Feel it for you Steven,good result then that happens, seemingly whole country got it with many missing ,and your correct to say it affects the whole family because it does,as they all are involved. Its Wednesday now steven hope you and Dads spirits are up and you've got your team ready for Dale. Upwards and onwards pal and also good to see you made the right decision with Stevies Choice as offspring starting to show,good luck for the weekend 🤞 P.S only good honest pigeon men would show the video the way you do,keep it up as really enjoyable
Yeah that’s it Robert we just have to dust ourselfs off and go forward. Had one reported dead about 10 mile away which is terrible 😢 but yeah he seems to be a good wee pigeon Robert time will tell mate 👏👏appreciate your words and watching 👍
Steven you know pigeon man as well I do once you go on media people they watch your progress and your pigeons ring numbers if they come in to a loft they are held prisoners it's like the old days if one came in you feed and watered and released and informed the owner
Not much we can do mate, I normally just my best to home. All great pigeons can make mistakes, even if I can’t get hold of a owner I just my best to get it a close as possible 🙏 onwards we go brian 💪
Love your honesty mate makes refreshing watching. Let's hope🙏 a few turn up, either reported or turn in. A word of encouragement, we had a similar race from Yeovil where our birds were probably fogged out near Bristol heading to West Cumbria. We got one of our favourites reported by a roofer in Bushmills N.I who had raced in his early years. He arranged to get her back and was put away until this year. She has gone on to be our first back and scoring high I the Amalgamation. I have formed a good friendship with Steven the roofer thanks to 'Bushmills Girl' Hopefully get him back in the sport 👍 Chin up mate, all the best this week.
It’s crazy Andrew, you wonder how and why these amazing wee birds do it! They always outway the disappointments! Fantastic to hear that! Onwards and upwards mate 👏👏 appreciate you watching 👍
Steven skibereen at times can be a nightmare i remember back a few years the isrf had a smash race numerous fed and open winners list necer to be seen or heard of again the joys of racing you will be right there again next week your to good of oigeon man onwards and upwards
Steven I don't think there is a sport where the highs and lows are so extreme, I do hope that none fanciers watch this to see how true fanciers suffer, rest assured my friend you could have done nothing more, once they are in the basket they out of your control, but I know you will be looking for those missing ones for weeks to come
Absolutely merv! I always say pigeon is the most fantastic sport when everything goes right and you have no issues lol one thing is for sure it’s hard to do the videos when you hit a race like it! But hopefully it just shows to people outside the sport if they ever come across the videos that us in the pigeon world, are as affected with all the emotions when we don’t get them back. Can hide behind a camera 😂 so onwards we go! That’s enough of them races for awhile 🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏 take care you mervyn and appreciate the words 👏🤝
Yeah it can happen to anyone Patrick, but it’s what you do after, it’s a horrible feeling but you manage to get by and go again, doesn’t say that it won’t affect you because of the love for the birds! But we look at the youngster and think hopefully something is there to take the places missed 🤞🤞
Steve always look foward to the videos this must have been a hard one to do can see how disappointed you are mat felt like that myself this year its been one ting after anuoher beginnining to think is it worth it take care mate hope your dad ok
With doing videos it’s great when things go well, not so great when you races like that! But the strangest thing is I wouldn’t change it for the world. We just have to brush ourselves down and go again Paul! We all get affected by it suppose I can showcase it with the videos. But onwards to the next one mate 👏👏 you take care and keep at it mate! 🤝thanks for watching 👍
I would like to know where combine gets weather update, as the weather forecast said day before ,that there would be low mist and fog, and should be burned off by late afternoon
Yeah I’m unsure mate, every weather app says something slightly different, but I remeber my dad saying there would be but hopefully to be burnt off. I thought last week we have a nightmare with these solar flares etc but we had full returns and tbh I Havnt the first clue about that lol but I really wonder where they get to mate!
Hi always look forward to your videos getting very interested in racing pigeons and trying to build a young bird team here atm would be much appreciated for all advice I’m based in comber thanks
Can be all different but a guideline to use if you add barley to your mix you watch them start to leave it and that usually tells you they had enough, Freddie
@ssbrownracingpigeons37 ahh ì wrote a big essay, and when I looked back it was gone lol, no matter, chin up, hope you got some more back, on to this weekend and decision time, weather wise and all that, best of luck Pal 🪿
