Well done on today's race lads

Well done 👏

Great result for the 1st race lads

Young birds , drive you mad for sure but good result and returns so well done and as always very enjoyable thank you

You can sleep well tonight👍

Your very welcome and thank you for watching 👍

Thanks Rob , il settle for good returns these last 6 races , any wins is just a bonus but these seem a very good bunch so I would love to see what they can do as yearlings 🤞

Thanks as always david , the stress is overwhelming but we just want them home each week and they will be different birds next year 👍

Thanks Dave , and thanks for watching mate , I don’t think it matters how long you have been in this sport , the stress of ybs will be the death of us 🤣

hi tony just 3 to come, so over the moon if we can get them all back

@@alibrospigeons8317 that's great returns mate, good luck and hope the other 3 drop in for you 👍

@@tonypeters9763 they have every chance mate

Thanks Stuart I really appreciate that , so pleased you enjoy mate 👍

Stress Rob total stress 🤣👍

Without a doubt Allan , take that all day long, a mate of mine same liberation is 22 missing 🤦‍♂️

Hi Viv we get asked this a lot , but it’s very much our own family of pigeons , you can trace Ali Bros back for over 50yrs and it’s always been best to best to create our own family of birds , if you go back far enough in any pedigree then all of the old strains will be in there but these birds are very much our own strain mate

Thanks mate , they just seemed a little spooked today , but I’m sure they will keep improving 🤞

3 to come when I left mate so hopefully they have dropped in 🤞

@@alibrospigeons8317 are brilliant performance tell your dad well done and you bud

@@Gang-zy7lq thanks mate really appreciate it 👍

Hi Eddie , your 100% right a steady day is exactly what we need , tail winds are a recipe for disaster with ybs as it doesn’t take much for them to over shoot , there so busy racing there just no paying attention to where there going or where home is , atleast with a head wind they can’t really miss home . To answer your question we have 75ybs but il add this is a sign of the times unfortunately as the last 3 years we have lost 50% of them with disastrous seasons , we used to breed 40-50 but these days you have to over breed and this year in particular we need atleast 40 of these ybs for next year as we don’t plan on keeping any of the old birds in the team 🤞

3 to come when I left mark so we have a chance mate 🤞👍

Done well lads fair play 👍👍

@@markdavies4712 thanks mate 👍

Hi Bob we are simply playing it race by race , we dropped 3 birds on Saturday so that’s 4 gone from 3 races . Basically each Friday we will make a call on weather and wind to make a decision as we really can’t afford to lose them , there is 4 races left for us with the 4th one being the yb national , I don’t think we will send many if any to Chelmsford the week before the national as that has been the disaster race 3 years running , so maximum of 4 races but possibly only 3 . I promise to do a few extra videos at the end of the season Bob so I promise you will get a look in the old bird loft 100% mate

Thanks Karl , pleased it’s over 🤣👍

Racing tomorrow 6th mate 🤞👍

Stuart il be honest mate , yb racing is solely educational, and our old bird team trap fantastic , we also have neighbours so I don’t think they would be very impressed us blowing a whistle constantly, it is what it is mate

@@alibrospigeons8317 hi whistles can be hard on the neighbours lol good luck this week

100% Jock , a huge sigh of relief mate

When they’re dropping in 3/4/5’s they’re ok mate ..it’s when they come in 1’s you panic….after the first race it’s usually the dreaded YBS that gets them (stress associated) good luck on not getting it and hopefully next week they come straight out and you getcc bc a good trap I’ll be watching

@@jock2109 your right in everything you have said , one thing after the other mate 🤞

100% paul i think also the other liberations before ours wouldnt have helped, i think there was 3 different organisations there today

Yea my friend that does make a lot of difference 👍

1 short Graham 👍

@@alibrospigeons8317 okay not too bad good luck next week

@@GrahamHarrod same to you mate

Paul seriously mate I hate it 🤣, all I want is to get them through the season and as yearlings watch them go , but Christ that seems a million miles away at this moment in time 🤦‍♂️

Definitely Ian , big relief and only one missing now 👍

Really happy Sean. 1-2 club 4th fed But our first bird would have topped the fed with ease , but most importantly only one missing mate

hi i wouldnt have a clue with clubs, that would be west durham combine i believe

Il be honest Anthony they have been trapping great but they seemed spooked today , the amount what landed and them went back up puzzled us , but il be over the moon if we get them all 👍
