Hey everyone! I just got the paper (Ocala Star Banner) and was checkng things out. Came across the local section and there I am on the front. It had been two weeks since the interview and thought it would never get published with all thats been going on these days.


Just thought I would share it with you all and maybe you can do something of the same in your area to get the word out about our sport.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much! We have 16 pair of Breeders and have about 90 YBs. Not all of the YB were bred by me, as Im handling a number of OOA Birds for our clubs Annual 300 mile race.

Its just another way the public can learn what it is we pigeon people do and hopefully get them talking. If we can teach or mentor someone then its even more rewarding!

Well done Timber. It's good to see that. Here in the US people don't see pigeons as pet. We need more articles on our sport.
