here is a photo of 4 of my birds arriving at the loft, maybe not exactly what you are looking for???

are you talking about screensaver, which comes on the screen after you have not used the computer for a while or a wallpaper that you have as a kind of background picture on your desktop(screen)

a wallpaper i just threw together, feel free to use if anyone wants, of course it is sized for my own screen so it might not fit all, the resolution is 1280x1024 pixels

do you have any good resolution pics of some of your favorite birds? if you do i might be able to make one for you.

The ash can really damage the bigger jet engines but not so much the smaller old type of motor and it also has to do with wind direction. They have also been flying a helicopter there to get closer. But since i could not add my name to the Facebook thread the other day, and since many are reading this, by all means find me on facebook if you´re interested, i´m there as Högni Ólafsson

I bet it was nice, i also live close to an international airport, we somehow get used to tho noise, i only ever notice the noise when i have someone for a visit that is not used to it and they ask, how can you stand it.

Thanks mate, we are fine here in Iceland, i just hope the airports will open up soon enough for you to get to Spain.

Everything is good here, i live quite far from the volcano and the wind is blowing the other way, but our thoughts are with the people who live in the area and the farmers who have to hope for as little damage to their land as possible, they all had to leave their animals behind, which are safe for now but who knows what a volcano will do, there is also a glacier on top of the mountain and as it melts away floods are coming down the hills. It is true that this volcano (Eyjafjallajökull) erupted in 1821-1823 for almost 2 years and was followed by it´s big sister Katla, a much bigger and more dangerous volcano. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katla

Hi guys! from Iceland, i must say that i feel many of you are taking this very lightly, i would be very careful sending birds to a race or training in the next few days. The ash might be high in the air now but some of it might come down and this is very fine dust so it might not take a lot to damage a small respiratory system, i would also be concerned about if sun rays are getting through well enough. It might be fine but by all means use common sense and get to know a little bit about what you are dealing with. I was just watching the weather forecast, the wind will continue to blow your way in the next few days. Now i am not a scientist, it might be a good idea for the people in charge of your clubs and feds to contact someone with knowledge and get some information. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY.

My best breeding cock is from a father daughter pair, they were both great winners in thier racing careers.

I had one hen last year who would lay eggs twice normal size, but that was both eggs and all her eggs were like that.

Treat only sick birds, and on vets advice. Don´t treat all the birds if 1 or 2 are sick or even worse if none are sick.

Just do it, you wont be sorry if you prepair them correctly.

I had some very good birds from John and Alex and they made an excellent cross with my old family, so i would recommend that you try to get a good family to cross with them, maybe someone with experience with them can recommend where you could go.
