Hello Guest,

This Topic should be in the "General" subforum.

I am asking CR4 Admin to move it there.

Kind Regards....

Queries of this type are best addressed via an on-line encyclopaedia.

Hello again, s49507020

Perhaps you are located in China, where most people are prevented by the State Corporation, from accessing much of the Internet, including the on-line Encyclopaedia: Wikipedia.

Kind Regards....

All places that release pigeons at one time or the other loose some. A falcon has to eat. Storms along the way. People shooting at them for sport. There are other reasons that a homing pigeon due to injury will loose his way. Some just because the owners tax their systems too much.

Note if and when a pigeon recuperates from these injuries he at best stay lost.

People that rise homing pigeon do not keep the one's that are unreliable or tardy.
