I do believe there is many factors bt the rspb pluck figures from anywhere

2.7.3 Exhaustion MacKenzie (1995) reported research conducted by Wageningen Agricultural University in the Netherlands which indicated that a major contributory factor to losses during races was weakness due to the conditions imposed on pigeons during transport to liberation points. Lack of drinking water, or the opportunity to utilise it, caused birds to dehydrate and overheat. Pigeons, thus weakened, were more likely to die on the race route. MacKenzie (1995) also reported that overheating may be exacerbated by overcrowding birds into poorly ventilated transporters. So they blame transporters

Do you know what methods were used to do this? I like how they say birds die of exhaustion or hit walls both could be results from Bop going through them as wee know after bop hits they can scatter in all directions How can they actually tell if a doo dies of exhaustion if know one seen it

Back on topic Rspb pluck figures from the sky just the same wae percy plucks doos fae it

Quite right i was going to get another one in before friday but i dont believe i can learn them anymore than they have had and the amount of times they have all came back in ones will have learned them a thing or 2! So now i will get them out morning and night just to keep the fitness up

I think thats the best thing that we can do! Sad to say but the less oor doos are in the sky the better! Also i may go onto widowhood next year as your doos dont need trained as much

Whats gonny happen when there is no song birds no racing pigeons for food??

I have emailed them to ask them what happened to a yb i have missing to see if they can tell me what building it hit off or if it has been OILED! They seem to know everything else

Can someone explain to me what way they RSPD collect there information as reading on there site they seem to know exactly what happens to every pigeon????? straying and exhaustion accounted for 36 per cent of losses collisions with solid objects like buildings and windows – 19 per cent of losses collisions with overhead wires – 15 per cent of losses predation by birds of prey – 14 per cent of losses shooting, entanglement in netting, poisoning and oiling – 8 per cent of losses predation by mammals, including domestic cats – 8 per cent of losses.
