Hello, and welcome to my venture into Pigeon Racing and "The International Trail".

If you find a racing pigeon.
It probably means it is lost, it is very tired, it is hungry and it needs a drink. First, please, offer it a drink, by far the most important thing, just plain, cool water in a shallow dish. Pigeons need to immerse their beaks in order to drink but they only need a depth of ½” or so. Pigeons will eat almost any seed or grain when they are hungry. Porridge oats, rice, dried peas or beans, broken up pieces of bread, cereals or anything of this nature will be good in the short term.

What else you can do?
Further advice can be found HERE on the Royal Pigeon Racing Association web site.

My pigeons.
I race pigeons purely for pleasure. My main interest is the western european International programme which you will find dealt with in more detail on RACING PIGEON POST .
While here you will find the unfolding story of my pigeons and their attempts at the races from Barcelona, Marseille, Pau and Perpignan.
