Geordie Racer

I watched this program on pigeons last night with April that was really funny. I think it's a series of documentaries as I watched a similar styled one last week but that was on the hairdressing world championship...

It was really interesting seeing all these people enthused by all the pigeons and all the excitement that goes with it. Some parts were quite moving too, with the outbreak of bird flu many of the fanciers were threatened with having to cull their flocks. Another man and his wife who was sadly suffering for Alzheimer's flew to South Africa for the world's biggest pigeon event.

But what made me post today was something that I found truly amusing. In a pigeon version of crufts (Blackpool) one lady was boiling a kettle and steaming her prized pigeon's tail feathers to make them straight, similar to using a steam iron she proudly proclaimed.
