I have reported three young birds this year, two were lanarkshire, the owners were here within the hour, the third is still in my loft,after reporting it to south lanarkshire secretary, i waited over a week but no reply, I then reported to RPRA whereupon i had a call from a fancier from Carluke, Vice President of the South Lanarkshire Fed, extolling the virtues of the bird, after telling me on the phone that it was a monkey, i agreed to keep the bird as i dont like culling young birds, still awaiting transfer,glad im not a member of that fed.So if your losing young birds Dave,mabye their sitting in somebodies loft who just cant be bothered.
