Good afternoon everyone,
We have spent most of today going though the birds, getting their e-bands loaded and checked. The birds are looking healthy and ready for some air time soon! Rick is thrilled with how great they are feeling.
Just a reminder that we are still accepting birds this week - this will be our last week. We have a couple more airport pickups tonight and tomorrow night.
Get ready for some Facebook Live this summer...hopefully I'll post something soon to say hello and let you have a peek at the birds.
Have a great rest of your day!Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")
Hi Flyers,
Just wanted to give notice that we're extending our drop off until the end of May.
Due to some cancellations that have occurred with flights we've decided to extend the date and allow flyers to send accordingly. All flyers, locally or afar, are welcome to connect with us and keep sending!
There's approximately 350 birds in the coop - I'm just very behind in entering them into the system.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend,
Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")
Hi everyone
A few scheduled pick up dates and times for you. Please connect with Rick if you are planning to meet at the location. If he doesn't hear from anyone for that stop - he'll bypass it.

1 Nicholas Beaver Rd., Puslinch/Guelph
Off the 401 - Brock Road South
Tuesday night airport pickup at 8pm
Thursday, May 11th

Thanks everyone - and hope you've all had a great weekend!
Good morning everyone,
I was able to get another grouping of pigeons registered online now - on wincompanion. Sorry for the delay! We are e-banding them and vaccinating on arrival.
We have some more coming in and the coop is getting fuller! Exciting to have.
Please let us know if you plan on coming by to drop birds off.
Great to see some faces!
Just FYI - I'm in the process of updating the bird list on wincompanion. It's taking me a while to do this. It is certainly not encompassing of all birds that we have right now.
I hope to have things up to date by the end of the week.
Rick is still working on some more pick up dates as well.
Have a great one,
My apologies for the delay on starting these regular messages - they will begin now for our season!
We opened our doors for accepting birds on Fri. April 14th and will continue accepting birds until Mon. May 22nd.
We're recieved A LOT of birds so far - and all are being vaccinated and electronically banded on arrival. This will ensure that we are able to keep an early inventory of the birds for you all!
Rick is at the airport frequently picking up birds that are flown in (no pun intended) and he is checking his calendar this week to see about arranging some other pick ups.
If you'd like to reach out - please do, either email us at niagarapeninsulaolr@gmail.com or call or text Rick at 905-329-5139
Here's to a great season lining up!

Evening everyone
If you still have birds with us, Rick will be at the Combine Meeting this Sunday, Nov. 13th at West Niagara Agricultural Center and Fairgrounds in Grimsby.
Please connect with Rick if you're planning to meet up!
Thanks everyone,
Good afternoon pigeon fanciers,
We've officially closed the MAIN RACE today. We have 142 birds that have returned and that is the inventory we will use at this point. Any other birds that do return now, we will reach out to the owner and let them know.
Please connect with Rick in the next week or 2 regarding pick up plans. His cell is 905-329-5139. You are welcome to message us through email or Facebook Messenger, but I will be the one answering and will likely link you to call his cell :)
Congratulations again to all of our winners in both the MAIN RACE as well as PREP RACES.
Payouts and certificates will be sent out in the near future. Remember for future races, if you're here on the day of the race, we are GREEN ON THE SCENE...as we payout those winners present!
Look forward to seeing some of you soon, with pick ups happening, and continuing to stay in touch for our plans for next year.
Have a great week everyone,
Evening all
The birds have been basketed and they are ready to go 300 miles!
180 are in there and as always, Rick handled each bird to check them over before basketing them.
Excited for tomorrow - weather looks good for the race...might be a slight shoulder wind coming from the west. We'll see in the morning.
Hope to see you here - if not, stay tuned online for the results! And remember, top 30 spots for payout, with our additional special prize for the last bird to clock on the day of the race...$500.
Good luck to everyone!
