Showing Pigeons

[Big T]

All right, I'm going to the Fort Payne show. For three bucks a bird I thought it might be a good idea to show Spirit Wings Frillbacks. Two reasons; one, they are beautiful birds, two, the guy running the show says I'll learn more by showing a bird then just walking around looking and asking questions.

Now my concerns are illness. I am hearing I need to keep the birds separated for two weeks after returning from a show. I do not want to chance getting my babies sick when I just got them. Is this a real problem?

Another concern is stress. They are just getting settled in the loft and three weeks later I'm pulling them out. I do not think I'll win or anything, just was told it is a great way to learn the ropes.

So, since I am undecided, lets take a vote. Take them or not. Spirit Wings your vote weighs more than the rest.

Thanks for your help,
Tony
