129. Racing Pigeon Club Revival with Janet Dame

Racing pigeon clubs across the U.S. are shrinking, but they don’t have to disappear. In this episode, Phillip talks with Janet Dame of the Columbus Racing Pigeon Club (Columbus, Georgia) about what’s driving the decline (aging membership, cost, public misconceptions, tech distractions, HOAs) and what can actually help bring clubs back.We also dig into practical, sometimes controversial topics: why “routine antibiotics” can backfire, why quarantine matters (especially for one loft race birds), and how factors like solar activity / KP index can impact training toss losses. Janet shares real world outreach ideas that work: schools, libraries, local news, and simple ways any member can help educate the public and attract new racers.Follow/learn more: Columbus Racing Pigeon Club on Facebook (Columbus, GA).https://www.facebook.com/share/g/166yRiT81S/www.pigeonpod.com#AllAboutPigeons #PigeonPodcast #RacingPigeons #PigeonRacing #PigeonClub #HomingPigeons #PigeonRacingClub #ARPU #AU #LoftManagement #PigeonHealth #PigeonTraining #YoungBirdSeason #OneLoftRace #Quarantine #AntibioticResistance #BirdHealth #AnimalHusbandry #PigeonFanciers #ColumbusGeorgia
