– I was flying a team of old birds. Everyone is a late hatch. Started with 46 and ended up with 18. I culled several, the hawks got 6 that I know of (I found parts in the yard and in the neighborhood) and I lost a few in the races. I flew in the SWWR Club. I was in the middle of the sheet for the most part. I didn't pay attention to the combine yet. Next year I will have a better chance, I figure I will have a better season because I will vaccinate and treat for the common diseases early. I generally cull sick birds BUT my birds have not been exposed to the common diseases found up here. I want to thank Dr Chen, Tim Farr, and Glen Steelhammer for their help getting me through this mess. I never have had sick birds like this so it is a learning experience and one I do not want to repeat. So I look forward to the Young bird season.
The Gurnays do have the homing instinct and once I change my training to fly with other fliers I will be able to judge the better. Have a great summer

RACING PIGEON DIGEST. The article in the RPD helped generate some interest – and new members. Still asking those of you with Gurnay, to provide me something that I can incorporate into future articles. As I said before, if you are flying your Gurnay with your club, I want to hear about it. I don’t care if they’re topping the winner’s list or not – the fact that we have Gurnay actively competing is worth sharing.
If you know someone who might be interested in joining this club – and getting involved with the Gurnay – please let me know, share this Newsletter, and welcome them to join. The price is small – the rewards are great.

Pam please tell Donnie these Hansennes do indeed have a lot of class. Large wings like I've never seen like maybe on a duck or owl. They have a lovely prance, and their Roman noses takes the cake. Love it! Keep up the good breeding Donnie.
Dear Don,
Just sending a gift for my appreciation for getting such nice Sion birds from you. When I get some youngsters from them, I will send you some photos. I am still planning on purchase another hen and cock. Have a good breeding season with your birds.
Received birds this morning here in Missouri. They are safe and both beautiful.
Beautiful female pigeon. Lovely mix of colors, fether quality and great posture. I figured her picture wasn't the best pose. The male is impressive and very masculine looking and I'm happy to say they are calm and get along very well together. Thanks again they are gorgeous....
The birds arrived today got them all tucked in the loft. You saved the best for last I think there nice birds ,,only sorry I didn't buy a couple of the other hens. Thanks alot
Hello. I received the birds today they look great. Thank you very much.
The Hen is here! Awesome bird & I can feel the power just holding her. She is very calm pigeon & that is always a plus. Thanks so much!
Hi this is Nate from Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you know the Andalusian cockbird made it here in good shape today. Thanks again!
Hi Don, birds are adapting well. I like their presentaion & calmness. Looks like they will fit in with my birds. I see what you mean about the BB. We'll see how he produces. Might b a genetic thing & go away when crossed with and unrelated hen.
Regards
Jim
