Yep, but seems that won't happen any more.
So why don't we just tell Amtra to improve or get lost... No better to keep moaning I guess.
I fetch most of my birds myself when reported, withing sensible reason regards time and distance. 200miles etc. each way even. But I worry, yes I really do, and dread the day when Amtrax says 'Ok and stuff you lot too... we are no longer able or interested to transport your birds'!

You can same the same about Amtrack - I have has several times when they have collected at 11.30am and delivered at 4.30pm the next day - a condition of there carriage is that the bird need not be watered.

I have also had at least 4 instances where birds have not arrived the next day as planned but have been sent somewhere else.

No. They are van drivers, not welfare officers for the creature comforts zone.
So, best to mention it, supply a galleon drum, and a water trough. Preferable not a paper or cardboard one... and hope that the go back into the box after being let out for a drink Get real eh!

From the talks i have had they are back on - I am looking at booking some birds in tomorrow morning so i can confirm them.

I am not sure how long he will trial it for but this is a genuine alternative to amtrack so i hope they get the business to continue.

you dont have to let the birds outta the box to give them a drink do you?
obviously they are not welfare officers but if a bird is in carriage nearly 24 hours it needs water does it not?
or do you not give a stuff about the welfare of your birds like these tinpot delivery firms ??
so get real   ROLLY

hi. i am mike from am deliveries. i am giving the delivery service another go. we are not a huge company...yet. but we do care about the birds welfare. yes we have made mistakes in the past, we did offer to water the birds but only on request. now the birds will be given water every couple of hours whilst in our care. we now have a delivery system in place were by we only cover certain areas of the uk on certain days. the more work you guys put my way the more drivers i can employ,the quicker the service gets. if anyone has any suggestions on how i can improve my service i am more than willing to listen.  also if anyone has any contact details for the big people in the pigeon world then please send me them or pass my details onto them and i will try and improve the service you currently get. i didnt start delivering pigeons to make a fortune to retire on , i started it because i was asked to by a pigeon racer in my area, who wasnt happy at being delivered a dead pigeon and being asked to pay for it.
anyway i hope i have made my intentions clear.  

to all the people who have sent me emails offering me support i thank you. to all the people who have not used this service yet, what have you got to lose by trying it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

finally... we do require full contact details for both collection and delivery point including telephone numbers.  we txt or call when our driver is 30 mins away so if you are out you have time to get home before he arrives.

great stuff mate ,its getting to be that time of the year, hopefully you will be very busy,but i think that most of the "big boys" [studs yuk!!!] are tied into contracts with amtrak, i hope to god it turns out to be viable its nice to have your birds moved by someone who gives a 4x
