yes, thanks. Indeed this makes a lot of sense, though I don't know anything about the sport - I have seen utes squished full of pigeons around from time to time, one not long ago - and I did wonder... incidentally, today's pigeons were probably the 'blue bar' type.
It's rather a relief they're not 'wild' because there were a lot of them!btw - Happy Mother's Day to all the 'hens' out there.
