Mike, Thanks for the nice complement. I want to comment on the "purity" issue. First of all, I agree with you and the other members of your club who say a...
Paul, Thanks for the comments. It's truly a big challenge to breed for so many goals. Each new outcross pollutes a refined strain. The solution is to...
Pat, I enjoy exchanging messages with people about genetics. But I'm realizing my other hope is to increase the number of people using good breeding...

Hi Rena, "Tameness" is one of the breeding messages that I started to write several months ago. I'll finish it up someday. But I haven't really thought...

Thanks Jeannette. Frankly, I'm just the coder. Most of the design ideas came from Gene Nollan. Gene Nollan is a wonderful asset to the pigeon community. His...
Rena, Whoever edited the news clip, purposely dropped in a loop back during the action. In reality, they were long gone before the game started. The game...
Wynn, You are right about Gene and also his wife Edie. Two finer people never lived. He is an asset with whatever he is doing. He came to our house to tutor...
Those news people! LOL That was nice, how convenient only 1 mi. away! I
do not release my birds either at dark. I wouldn't even have them in a race
