sorry to hear the pigeon died debbie

thanks for taking the time to look after a lost pigeon and also caring for it there are always people on here willing to give help/advice if needed as i found out when i got started with a stray pigeon well done debbie

thats what i like to see people helping each other out fanciers in wales and devon have collected birds for me from non fanciers and cared for them until they could be collected you often hear about the backstabbing and sniping that goes on in pigeon racing but whenever ive asked for help on basics ive always got it debbie

had a open loft for a while but the hawk put a stop to that > ive got cd,s hanging around my loft and garden and i also play the eagle owl cd on a regular basis which seems to have done the trick but as far as open lofts go i personally wouldnt risk it i spose it depends on what part of the country you live in really but saying that i think sparrowhawks are pretty much everywhere now > whats the hawk situation in the u.s. debbie

i totally agree with pecked hen about non fanciers not knowing where to look for wing stamps i collected a stray on behalf of another fancier from a non fancier and was told that the pigeon wasnt wing stamped but when i collected it the lady explained that she had only looked on the outside of the wing the pigeon was stamped and ended up being transferred to me ive recently reported three strays and two of the owners couldnt have cared less and asked me to release them (both yb,s)out so hopefully they could make their own way home needless to say both have returned to me and im now waiting for the owners to make arrangments to collect the birds i can now understand why some fanciers dont bother reporting strays debbie

cheq gb 08 j 12802 came into my loft tonight can anybody help with contact details? debbie

the majority of you think its ok to carry on with the grit and minerals so thats what i will do thanks for letting me pick your brains (again) debbie

thanks everyone 4 the replies the instructions refer to dosage, it also states that its not known to interact with other meds, can show signs of paralysis and gagging in yb,s on 4/5th day of treatment wouldnt the manufacturers state if grit/minerals affected the treatment? debbie :-/

ive just started my birds on a canker treatment called chevi-col (dimetridazole) i think i read something in a pigeon weekly a couple of months back about having to remove all grit/minerals from the loft while treating for canker? is that right? can anybody advise me? debbie :-/

well done matt for taking someones lost pigeon in and going to the trouble of caring for it and reporting it it must have thought u had a kind face and thought it would try its luck hence the walking in and collapsing next to u in your garage ;D ;D ; if any of my pigeons are in the birmingham area i will tell them to look u up ;D ;D all joking aside matt u deserve a pat on the back debbie

apparently pigeonnavigation.com will send out daily emails/weather reports to fanciers ive looked on their website but it doesnt explain how i can get these emails sent to me :-/ can anyone give me any details thanks debbie

well done jim for taking care of a lost pigeon but whenever i log on pb i notice that its always the same fanciers that go out of their way to help others in trouble wether that be collecting lost pigeons or giving out advice debbie

hi traynor nwhu tel no is 01257 421271 if thats any help or email nwhu@blueyonder.co.uk debbie

does anyone know what the situation is with the stray blitzen found? has it been collected? debbie :-/

thank you for taking care of a lost racing pigeon ive sent you a pm with my details in case i can help in any way debbie

very sorry to hear what these pondlife have done to normans birds, the only language these sh-tb-gs understand comes in the form of a baseball bat, i dont like violence but as they say theres a time and a place for everything this so-called goverment of ours are never going to start dishing out real punishment as the poor souls in the dock are misunderstood and really only need a holiday > >

hi i was gifted some birds from a fancier called wally (watson, i think ?) who used to fly in the new eltham social fc club in essex in the 70,s or 80,s before moving to sussex when i collected the birds from wally he was very poorly so i didnt ask for any details of the birds and left him to rest, i would be very grateful if any fanciers who knew wally could give me any info on the birds such as strain? sprint or distance birds? etc im sorry to be the bearer of bad news to anyone who knew wally as im sure he would have had some good friends in essex with him being aged 80-90 years when he passed over, i also have a basket with the name w j hedges written on it with an address in hadleigh,essex any info would be much appreciated r.i.p wally debbie

sorry to hear about u losing your yb,s karl i hope they make their way back to u debbie

keep us all posted david i hope he stays with u but pigeons can be unpredictable at the best of times, im only a novice myself but am learning quickly i have had more than my fair share of strays and most are still here with me from last year well done for taking care of the pigeon and good luck debbie

hi i live in crawley,west sussex and lost my blue bar yb gb 08 v44507 off the loft roof 2 days ago (weds) it was the yb,s 1st time out of the loft and i would be very grateful for any info thanks debbie

if i couldnt get their tel no i would drive there to collect it asap especially as u dont know what sort of condition the pigeons in? good luck debbie

well done invalidusername for taking the time and trouble to care for this lost pigeon its obviously very happy staying with or would have disappeared long ago i myself got started when a stray came into my garden shed about 18 months ago ( shes still here ) and now paired up with young,uns thats how i started and i wouldnt be without them now its a great hobby i hope you manage to get the bird signed over to you as its obviously settled now good luck debbie
