Starting in racing pigeons involves a good amount of money to start, most of all the loft, Im sure the fanciers around will be more than pleased to give the beginner a couple of pigeons to start, then the beginner will have, in a blink of an eye, 30-50 pigeons and off you go, start flying...the hurdle is the loft...what about a promotion plan from the council with an area dedicated with lets say 10 wooden sheds to start...the same support from schools, charities, parks, you name it...the loft is yours as long as you have birds and you are an active fancier...
