In this video, I share the steps I’ve taken to clean and sanitize my loft, including using disinfectants like Jeyes Fluid and Virkon S, and even heat-treating surfaces with a flame torch! I also talk about my plans for the future and the exciting prospect of adding new birds, with Louella Pigeon World catching my attention. Join me as I work toward rebuilding and getting ready for a fresh start in the pigeon racing journey.

      I'm planning to be very selective on what and where I bring birds in from. I do think I went wrong to start with by accepting birds from everyone, and I'm sure they all had the best of intentions too!

      I currently have 16 young birds! I'll be honest this year feels a lot better than previous years. That said last year also felt really good, and I was confident in the birds last year, and then lost most in the first race! But this definitely feels like the first year I actually know what I'm doing!

    Sadly RPRA has been running on days gone by, instead of moving forward,, for years,, it’s an antiquated organisation, what needs to be brought up to date instead of rolling over,, hawk problem and defra rules,, maybe we need a new organisation,,

    • @WinfortLofts
      @WinfortLofts 11 місяців тому

    I’ve only just started and I can’t believe how cheap everything is! If you think my children do gymnastics which is £80 per month!

      Hey, No worries for your question! Fortunately at this point, (statement was released today) is suggested that junior membership fees is not increasing. However, if your son was over 16, and you both wanted to be members of the RPRA, in a partnership, then the fee would be £70!
