  1. Thanks but Duncan is the brains behind it and I just keep him right ;D ;D ;D As I said before we looked at it but Fife is not the best place to network from, if we lived in central England it would be a lot easier and a very viable business if the right person done it. Scotland is a nightmare and the only reason SPDS manage is because they don't just transport pigeons :-/
  2. Pigeon Pete started it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D And he is only trying to help, and as you know fine well along with a few other members he goes the extra mile or in your case 300 miles to help people at no cost to them :-/
  3. Nice boxes and just the job
  4. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Duncan says that Chrissy must be out that you are allowed on the site ;D
  5. That's only £2.20 a bird so if you get them to Leeds you get £30 + £18 birdage - £13.20 = £34.80 on a six bird delivery/pick up £30 + £12 birdage - £13.20 = £28.80 on a four birds £30 + £6 birdage - £13.20 = £22.80 for two birds £30 + £3 birdage - £13.20 = £19.80 for one bird Plus you provide a Monday to Thursday pick up every week a Tuesdat to Friday/Saturday delivery and you cover almost every part of Scotland with less time on the road, a lot less diesel and wear and tare on your vehicles and you could strike up a deal with SPDS if you were giving them a good volume of deliveries If you lived in the Birmingham, Leicester or surrounding areas you could cut it down to £2.50 a bird and still cover the whole of the mainland UK providing a cheap and excellent service, birds delivered the next day and good profit margins with plenty of cash transactions I think we will move before anyone reads this
  6. That is who we got our pup from Here is ours beating up Valiants Olde Tyme Bulldog
  7. Nice dogs, good luck with the pup
  8. We have two bit#hes, we would not keep a male at the same time as it is too much hassle when they come into season.
  9. Nice pup, here is ours when she was six weeks And now, she will be 2 in August
  10. No I meant £3 on top of their normal charge if going to Scotland or £30 in England and £33 in Scotland. Pigeon delivery is a huge business if you get it right and gain credit with fanciers, but it is not a steady or totally profitable business all year round but it has it peaks and troughs. The high majority of fanciers will go out their way and help anyway they can to help the genuine couriers succeed, there has been a few that have tried and failed since the downfall of Amtrak which was only less than a year ago, all with the same problems "networking" and "profit margins"

    We spoke to Valiant at the w/e and Edinburgh Premier has been trying for about four months, he hasn't been away that long :-/
  12. Duncan is making one asap and likes this one, ours will be made of wood and metal, I will post pics as soon as he builds it Women are always better with pigeons

  19. Sorted, thanks Sapper and Catlae, it is from Cardenden, we will drop it off when we are out today
  20. Thanks, it is a fife bird, just hoping someone knew who it belonged to, I have filled in the SHU form as you suggested:)
  21. Just in tonight, I will contact SHU on Monday but if anyone can tell me the owner before then I will let them know
  22. You only get six minutes to modify posts, you will have to ask one of the site officials to do it Nice birds is the cock rung
  23. Sorted, thanks
  24. We find they tend to hunt at the same time every day, normally late afternoon about 3-4pm. Except when they are feeding young they hunt a lot more, we tend to keep ours in and let out at different times to break any pattern although nothing is foolproof
