If anyone thought that everything we have to do to race pigeons from France was simply a tick box exercise, think again. I received the following from APHA:-
Failure to comply is not an option. Those that can race should be really grateful to those with lofts in Avian Influenza zones who have to forego entering the race.
Thank you to all fanciers affected by these zones. Your compliance with the restrictions means that racing can continue; albeit with a lower birdage.
