Pigeon keeping, well, I use to keep them as a kid. Found an injured wood pigeon, broken wing, an old woman next door had a few lofts at her farm that use to belong to her husband - I was allowed to keep it there and managed to splint the wing, after it healed I let it back into the wild. An avid pigeon racer who use to visit her noticed my interest and gave me my first racing pigeons. I started racing them, earned some okay results for a kid my age. Switched to my focus to fancy pigeons later on, mainly tumbler breeds. I stopped keeping them when I moved out of my parents house. Missed them ever since as they brought me a kind of peace. I loved having them around me.
I recently bought a house with a nice garden and I’m in the process of starting again. Fancy pigeons, 2 specific breeds. Planning the loft build as we speak.
Besides that, I love woodworking - which I learned from the same pigeon guy who owned a woodworking company.
