Cheers for this, I have been researching "racing pigeons for sale belgium" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Hansaac Riyliver Scheme - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got great success with it.

God bless you all that replied, I'm very sorry to hear that, I'm sorry for your loss.. God bless you. :)

Only just watched this due to long term health conditions. Just like to say .love these folk. Standing The Ground .God Bless The Miner's. High flyers. . Real roots with depth .never forgotten.

I have watched this at least fore times now and every time I watch It I fall in love with how well it was filmed and also these 2 men which I personally consider the real champions and a great example to the sport, it does make more sense when people are into pigeons because they enjoy it and not just because they’re interested in making money out of it like nowadays. A huge respect to this documentary creators and whoever was involved. And a huge to people in the northeast and how generous and kind they are. Also to these two men’s families, I hope they made you proud.

I must say this is one of the best documentary I have ever seen and believe it or not there is a lot of people getting back in to the sport like me after 10 years I am fully back in there ain’t no stopping me to the day I die Love my birds love this documentary.❤❤❤❤❤🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️💪💪👍

I don't know how many times I've seen this documentary. is incredible. thrilling. I loved seeing it from the first time and from time to time I watch it again because it is fascinating. These two good friends have already passed away. I hope they are in heaven enjoying their carrier pigeons. and have gained eternity. A hug to the entire family and pigeon fanciers.

These old guys really are the salt of the earth, anyone with a love for animals have a good heart...

Real gentlemen with manners and respect.

Favourite pigeon film of all time, two people I'd of love to have met over a brew and chat pigeons all day❤

A lovely film for posterity. I used to race pigeons from 1971-2000, and then went into training greyhounds, which I still do to this day, but once a pigeon fancier, always a pigeon fancier. Thanks for the memories.

I just started to build a racing team of my own. I am disabled from a job related injury. Needed to keep busy, I always loved pigeons, just never had the time & or space back then. Now I do hahaha. Love this movie. There are no fancy hi tech lofts. Just 2 men enjoying their pigeons. To see these beautiful creatures leave the home you built them, & come back from a far to rest in that home you built them. That is beautiful. This short movie is what raising Racing Pigeons is all about.

The two stars of this show were the two old timers, true gentlemen, the way they carried themselves and the passion they displayed for their hobby whilst not whooping and hollering... everything I love about this country. If the world was full of Maurice's and Jackie's we'd be all right !!

man, best pigeon film ive watched to date. the mournful nature of the sound track really hit spot on the feeling of the sport in general. its like watching your beloved old grandpa taking his last breaths....

A real pigeon fancier.

The sport is not dying old man. It will never.

Awesome amazing beautiful people amazing beautiful places

Just fantastic... wish these gents all the very best. I grew up with pigeons in my life thanks to my Grandad. Now I keep and race them myself. Thank you Grandad, love and miss you every day.xxx. #stillbestfriendsforever

Makes me proud to be a northerner pigeon lad when a watch this! Rip jackie & maurice never forgotten

For any person that doesn't like pigeon racing. You should go and visit a pigeon fancier and see how much love and time goes in to rearing these birds. Only then when you have seen how happy theses birds are can you make judgment in it. Carrier pigeons were used to with great affect in the war.

Never ever thought I would have pigeons again after my dad died 6 years ago,,here I am 6 years later putting the foundations down for a new loft,, just missed it so much,, the best sport in the world

it's just amazing to see these legends. I wish them good luck for the future. hope more people will come in to pigeon racing

what a wondeful short film of 2 old friends and pigeon faciers. As an ex fancier i got goose pimples whatching as it brought back lots of happy memories. Sadly i gave up because it was breaking my heart loseing so many birds. But i got 10 good years out of the sport. One more thing...If i could bottle the buzz and excitement i got from waiting on my birds arriveing from a race and give it to the younger generation there would be no need for drugs to get their fix. Thanks for posting...

What a beautiful film! I recently completed writing a novel about a pigeon family and I was so pleased to hear Jackie say 'what wonderful animals these lot are'. Thank you for making such a touching and important film about the connection between birds and friends.

as a fancier ill bend my knees for these golden oldies

beautiful film,.... when release thousands of pigeons, think about the hundred of men like Maurice and Jack, with that hope and happiness waiting for their pigeons. thanks from Guadalajara, México.

I stumbled across this video by random KZread scrolling , the kindness and purity of these two souls is inspirational. Two of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the pleasure of seeing . I smiled from start to finish your happiness brought me happiness thank you for sharing your story

Wonderful story. I love and respect from the bottom of my heart such way of living. I'm fond of them, they're pretty lovable.

Enjoyed this film very much! Pigeons have changed my life, best sport on earth!

Great video Jackie was a gentleman.he used to come and watch me play football every Saturday for ryhope top club.rip jackie

Hi there, glad you liked the doc. We wrote the music in-house, lots of musicians at Meerkat Films so bit of a team effort, the director played the violin in the recording of the music too.

Lovely to see the lads still in the sport! I've loved pigeons ever since my father raced back in the 80s and my son loves them too, great sport, such a monumental shame it's a dying sport

I enjoyed every second of this film, wish it was longer. All the best for the 2 lads in the future.

Great stuff had them before wish I could again Mr MC cabe

Can't understand a lot of what they say, but I did get this: Jackie said pigeon racing is a dying sport. Well, I'm 25, and my dad just got me into it, so - for you, Jackie, I'll do my part to keep it going! Cheers, great documentary!

I had to watch this a couple times over, enjoyed it a lot, these 2 guys are awesome.

Real pigeon men with real pigeons!

Watched this half a dozen times now and every time I see it it takes me back to when I used to accompany my dad around his mates lofts up north around Prudhoe and Amble. Great times, would love to set up again maybe when I retire in 4-5yds time. Thanks for a great short film.

Seen this a while back on T.V. Well made documentary capturing the essence of the sport and the people. Hopefully there are enough youngsters to keep the pigeon fancy alive. Spot on.

i enjoyed every second of this flm wish it was longer tho god bless jackie lad bet he was a real player with the pigeons sad to all his family and mates thats hes gone like rip jackie :( and all the best to maurice hope he wins the combine in the future all the best ..

Just brilliant 👌

Suberb film.Best hobby in the world without question!! to see your bird reach home 500miles,winning is a bonus...

What a great film ... I will be watching it over and over .. nice to see friendly competition .. hard to understand Jackie at times ... something about the liberating of the birds that gives me goose bumps !!! thanks ... well done ...

A wonderful Documentary. I love Racing Pigeons. Theres More than meets the eye to a racer.

I was 12 years old first race North Road Leicester little Red and White Hen my dad gave me came First never will I forget that day,came 5th in the Fed from Thurslo in Scotland end of young bird season if memory serves me right. My dad kept racing pigeons all his life other than when he was at war bless him.

Anthony Seeley The sad part of this pigeon racing video is seeing the grossly rich building their houses right up against them. Seems an effort to squeeze these beautiful old gentlemen out. Funny, how the grossly rich will say the old ways are wrong, yet after they have effectively squeezed them out (or the old guys die).............they then COPY the old ways as their own and pretend they invented it. And these two men will be erased from history and forgotten. :((

The best ducumentary film I ever seen.Congratulations from Romania !

Very sad to hear about Jackie. Loved the film, the pigeons, hearing Geordie accents again. Many thanks.

Wow, that brought back some memories for me, I went to school at Silksworth in the 60's, been in the USA since mid 70's. Very good documentary, curious if they managed to keep their allotments?
