DAVEY CURTIS: Four-winged racing pigeon

TALES FROM THE NORTH WITH ALFIE NOAKES DAVEY CURTIS

Dear Jon.

This morning I witnessed history in the making. As Pigeon fancier Nobby Coxon released the first of his genetically modified 4 winged racing pigeons.

"That auld bugger Tommy Watson was always beating me, but not anymore. Plus there is nowt in the rule book to say how many wings a pigeon can have."said Nobby.

As the birds flew from their baskets and took to the cold January sky I could see Nobby's bird with its extra wings quickly take the lead.

It looks like Tommy Watson's trophy cabinet is going to look a bit empty this year if all of Nobby's birds are as fast as this one!

Pigeon racing will never be the same again.

Regards
