Hi Steven . Andre from South africa. I really enjoy your honesty and the best of luck for your upcoming races. Our season kicks off next weekend regards.

Really love your videos and the honesty about your birds.I know it's so hard to except Steven and unfortunately the birds have more than fair share of obstacles these days.I think your birds trapping is brilliant to watch,so kick on Steven.

Great video mate new to the channel good being open and honest about the ups and downs of pigeon life

Chin up Steve….too much hard work and effort gone in , so onwards and upwards, only a blip

Feel it for you Steven,good result then that happens, seemingly whole country got it with many missing ,and your correct to say it affects the whole family because it does,as they all are involved. Its Wednesday now steven hope you and Dads spirits are up and you've got your team ready for Dale. Upwards and onwards pal and also good to see you made the right decision with Stevies Choice as offspring starting to show,good luck for the weekend 🤞 P.S only good honest pigeon men would show the video the way you do,keep it up as really enjoyable

Pigeons drive us bonkers at times. I shave my head so ive no hair to pull out anymore. Keep up the great work yis are having a lovely season

Tough race very unlucky you got it sorted from last week skibereen always a tough race point well done

another from the heart video , hard to watch in parts but as ever honest and true , you certainly kept me going with your support this week , fair play to you Stephen its clear to see just what them birds mean to you , chat soon regards Pete & Bernie

Steven, your passion and your words shine through, ONLY because you care mate. Yes, your birds are more than birds, much more, and to those that do say, there only pigeons, are NOT true fanciers. Fingers crossed they will start dropping in for you over the next days. Congratulations on the result, keep going 👏 💪 👍

Steven skibereen at times can be a nightmare i remember back a few years the isrf had a smash race numerous fed and open winners list necer to be seen or heard of again the joys of racing you will be right there again next week your to good of oigeon man onwards and upwards

Great result, your pigeons are a credit to you. I know where your at it was very warm but i can tell you here on the coast it was a day to wear a hat and coat

Chin up mate if you’ve had pigeons a long time which you have you know that this happens from time to time, anyway you had a great result in the race and that hen looks a million dollars and l don’t mean all green and crinkly so back on it for this weekend cheers all the best.

Hard to swallow when it happens mate I dunno how yous were out that morning was a miserable morning in the south the isrf went at 3 and horror stories for losses I heard Well done doh 2nd 3rd open super result

I fly in the Lanarkshire fed steven,birds have been in great form then you get a stinker like Saturdays race

What a credit too the sport you are. Dont beat yourself up and question your ability anything can happen on the line of flight things out of your control 🤞somemore work in for you.great result 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Steven I don't think there is a sport where the highs and lows are so extreme, I do hope that none fanciers watch this to see how true fanciers suffer, rest assured my friend you could have done nothing more, once they are in the basket they out of your control, but I know you will be looking for those missing ones for weeks to come

Steven you know pigeon man as well I do once you go on media people they watch your progress and your pigeons ring numbers if they come in to a loft they are held prisoners it's like the old days if one came in you feed and watered and released and informed the owner

Well bro all a can say is Yer not alone. I'm the worst for getting attached to them and giving them silly names. Mine are more like pets ... The greatest stress relievers there is. But sickening when they don't come home. Keep the chin up

Everyone lost good birds last week mate, nature of the beast. It is very disappointing to lose good ones but as my grandfather always said,(We only have a lend of them) especially when they are in the sky. All the best this weekend.

Keep your head up buddy just one of those days, onwards and upwards to next week. 👍🏻

Love your honesty mate makes refreshing watching. Let's hope🙏 a few turn up, either reported or turn in. A word of encouragement, we had a similar race from Yeovil where our birds were probably fogged out near Bristol heading to West Cumbria. We got one of our favourites reported by a roofer in Bushmills N.I who had raced in his early years. He arranged to get her back and was put away until this year. She has gone on to be our first back and scoring high I the Amalgamation. I have formed a good friendship with Steven the roofer thanks to 'Bushmills Girl' Hopefully get him back in the sport 👍 Chin up mate, all the best this week.

Chin up and admire your honesty onwards and upwards.

If u don't race pigeons you never understand what we go through. It's like missing part your roll on next week hopefully be b

Steve always look foward to the videos this must have been a hard one to do can see how disappointed you are mat felt like that myself this year its been one ting after anuoher beginnining to think is it worth it take care mate hope your dad ok

Lanarkshire fed Scotland

I know how you feel it use to do my head in I couldn't eat for 2 days if I had a bad race but that's racing

I would like to know where combine gets weather update, as the weather forecast said day before ,that there would be low mist and fog, and should be burned off by late afternoon

that’s the part of keeping birds in not looking forward to

Hi always look forward to your videos getting very interested in racing pigeons and trying to build a young bird team here atm would be much appreciated for all advice I’m based in comber thanks

Was just wondering How much do you feed per pigeon for young birds and old birds is it different or the same.

Where did my comment go stephen?
