FEATURED FEATHERS:
"BOSS LADY" AU 08 SLIDELL 250 (1ST PLACE / 500 miles vs. 380birds)- OH MY, WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS HEN? #1...SHE JUST WON A VERY TOUGH 500 MILE RACE...HEAD WINDS ALL THE WAY....WAS THE ONLY DAY BIRD... RELEASED AT 7:15AM AND ARRIVED AT 7:29:51 PM....PLUS SHE HAS SOME OF THE MOST WINNINGEST BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH HER PERFECT LITTLE BODY!!!! SHE CAME BACK LIKE SHE HADN'T BEEN ANYWHERE. HER PERFORMANCE WAS A TRIBUTE TO THE EXCITING SPORT OF PIGEON RACING!!!
BIG BOY" AU 07 ARPU 13067 (1ST/300miles vs. 522birds) OOPS! BIG BOY DID IT AGAIN!!!! HE IS NOW A 3 x COMBINE WINNER...HE WON BOTH 300 MILE RACES THIS SEASON. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN BIG BOY FROM A PREVIOUS FEATURED FEATHERS, BUT I JUST FELT THAT IT WAS NECESSARY THAT HE BE SHOWN AGAIN. OH, AND DID I MENTION THAT HE WAS 6 MINUTES AND 47 SECONDS OUT FRONT? I'M SORRY...BUT WE LOVE OUR BIRDS AND ENJOY SHARING THE GOOD NEWS!!!!
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT THESE WINS WERE BACK TO BACK!! OUR BIRDS HAVE TWO MORE RACES TO GO....AND WE HOPE THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE THEIR WINNING STREAK.
PIGEON TALK:
ITS DAYS LIKE THIS THAT MAKE ALL THE TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT WORTH IT !!!! WE JUST WON OUR 3RD COMBINE THIS OB SEASON. IT TRULY HAS OUR HEADS SPINNING. A WIN IS LIKE A KISS ON THE CHEEK FROM OUR BIRDS.
WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO OUR GOOD BUDDY MANDEL ARMOUR FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT FRIEND TO HELP US TRAIN! EVEN THOUGH HE IS A GREAT FRIEND, IT TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF PERSON TO HELP OUT A FRIEND WHO IS ALSO YOUR COMPETITOR.
WHAT I LEARNED:
I LEARNED THAT MY HUSBAND CAN DO THE CHICKEN DANCE!!! OH MY GOSH! IF I COULD HAVE VIDEO TAPED THE DAY OF THE 500 MILE RACE, I TRULY WOULD HAVE HAD A HIT YOU - TUBE VIDEO. YA'LL HAVE GOT TO IMAGINE THIS SIGHT. IT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO 7:00 PM AND BYRON AND I DECIDED TO GO INSIDE BECAUSE WE FIGURED THAT IT WAS GETTING LATE AND MAY HAVE TO HOLD OUT FOR TOMORROW TO GET A BIRD. WE WERE TALKING, BUT BYRON NEVER STOPPED LOOKING OUT OF THE WINDOW. ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS MAN SCREAMED..."BIRD"! HE JUMPED OUT OF THE CHAIR, RAN OUT OF THE DOOR IN HIS BRIGHT WHITE SOCKS, LOOKING LIKE A GAZELLE IN AFRICA RUNNING ACROSS THE LAND. HE RAN THROUGH THE LOFT, CHECKED THE CLOCK AND CAME OUT DOING THE "FUNKY CHICKEN DANCE"!!!! THIS WAS TRULY A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. HA HA. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. "BOSS LADY" GOT HIM TO DANCE BEFORE I COULD. OH WELL..
