News from the loft 8 October 2021, with the last pigeons now settled and free to start flying around the lofts it is time for me to shift all my energy and focus to these pigeons. They are in very good health and looking good for the series of races ahead.

 

The pigeons will be forced to go up and circle around the lofts within the next 5 days, they will do loft training for at least 3 weeks before we will start short training flights and basket training.

 

I want to thank all the people who sent pigeons and yes we know it has been challenging with AI and Covid but we managed to get one shipment of international entries to the lofts, it is still sad that we did not manage to get the pigeons from the USA and Thailand as this would have really helped in getting the number of entries close to 1000 pigeons, we did manage to get close to 550 pigeons in for the race.

 

I am planning to fit the electronic rings to the pigeons within the next 14days, as I mentioned I would like to get the pigeons into the baskets and give them some short training flights from 1 November, if all the goes well we can have the first hot spot by the end of November from about 210km’s.

Herewith the list of fanciers or teams taking part in the Gold Cup race.
