Too busy to train this weekend - Book suggestion
Since I cannot training this weekend - I have no update. Instead, I offer you another free book suggestion. The pleasures of a pigeon-fancier by Joseph Lucas. Published in 1886, it is also an enjoyable read. It is a collection of essays on why he likes keeping pigeons. (Hint: The author really likes almond tumblers!) It's really pretty interesting. His focus is showing pigeons but he works in all kinds of things. These types of books must be where Wendell Levi got a lot of his historical references. Pigeon raising was SO popular in the past but the libraries have pulled all of these books and they are long out of print. This is a wonderful way to preserve books that would otherwise be lost for all time. Hope you enjoy it!
