  1. how do they do that? speaking about Microsoft operating systems, they leave certain ports open to receive / send traffic. What the hackers do is use these ports to enter your computer, they port sniff your open ports to see if they can get in. the best way is to enable updates from microsoft (patches & service pack) and to install a firewall. 2 other good products are "spybot search and destroy" & adaware, which detect trogens that you have accidently installed. these programs most likely monitor your activity and send back passwords etc. HTH Saj
  2. Thanks for the replys for the food, i think i may try another brand which my local corn seller sells instead of buying versele laga. Traveling to buy for a few fancy pigeons is a little too much. Also like to say thank you to Ian (mr mrs arnold sons) for his time explaining racing, which i think i'm going to try when i have my new loft later this year.
  3. I'm struggling to find some who stocks versele laga food near me, i'm traveling to Dordon Pet Foods, near tamworth a 30 mile round trip. I've heard there's a chap to sells corn etc from his home in Nuneaton but i can't find his details. Can any one help?
  4. Thanks lads, what date do you vacinate. Been reading old posts here and it looks like that racing birds can't race until they been vacinated. But when is the first race of the year?
  5. Thanks for your replys Not vaccinated against any thing, i have been waiting for the malt to finish before I start. I missed the opertunity before breeding and now its the malt. I don't have a place where i can isolate the bird, i'm planning to get another shed where i can next month. Its my fist year and i'm still learning but not fast enough.
  6. Hi All, I have a pigeon that is not very well, (its a fancy breed called a king) no visible signs other than very slightly breathing. No noise from the throat or wet beak etc I noticed that its gone off its food but today its crop is full this evening. I fed it peanuts to encourage it to eat . Thats when i noticed it's having problems picking up the peanut on the ground first/second attempts fail (beak hits the ground) but third attempt gets the peanut. on the other attempts it gets it first time. The bird is in a heavy malt, and the eyes are clear and shiny as they should be. I've also noticed that the yearling from the pair has the same problem. any one have a clue what could be the problem?
  7. Right i'll give the coke a try for 3 days, wait 2 days and then if that didn't work i'll try the vinegar. Failing the above should i try the old hand medicine?
  8. have u changed ur feeding etc? I've changed to a better food mix that does not contain loads of wheat. Faire Pay - how many days should i give the coke? My mate gave me "old hand's" White Sesqui for going light. Last summer. Should i use it?
  9. I've been noticing that one of my modena's had diarrhea. The colour is fine and i can see that it eating and the weight is ok (could be a bit heavier). Theres so many products out there i'm not sure what to choose, although i would prefer to use a natural remedy - ie garlic I was planning to give them worm tablets all this weekend. Can you please advise as i'm a novice. Saj

  11. The main problem is that you will have to pay for a lot of extra's 1.Flight 2.Special create (air plane approved) 3.Quarintien (not at your home) 4.Vet inspections Speak to your local ADHO (defra) office - http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalhealth/about-us/contact-us/animal-health-offices.htm#west
  12. Its the first one i've seen as well. My kings are quite relaxed not had a problem with fighting. The thing i like about them is that you can catch then with your hands whilst there out in the garden.
  13. I think i've got the address, if any one else is intrested Penyrheol Leisure Centre Pontarddulais Road Gorseinon Swansea SA4 4FG
  14. He's my young opal bar king that i was given, its not a great picture
  15. My shed is 8x6, so i could split it down to 2 sections. Do i need to sperate the avery section as well? I think i do : later on I think i may add another shed, to make life a little easier For now, how should i tackle the pairing up issue? By the way i keep fancy pigeons Kings and modena's
  16. no, just one
  17. Help :'(
  18. Not showing at all at the moment. The problem i think i have is that i did not seperate cocks from hens as they all live together sharing the shed and flight. I'm a little lost now as to what i should do. I'm thinking now that i should lockup the cocks in the best box. Let them get used to it and then add the hen a week later. What do you think?
  19. Sorry gladdo, If i was to bring in pigeons from other eu contries i need to follow the goverments rules: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/int-trde/imports/iins/birds/a9.htm I'm not sure about ireland
  20. I know this is a basic question to some of you experienced people. This will be my first year, already in my loft paring is taking place by self selection. I want to choose who breeds with who, so how should i do this? Do I lock up the cock bird in the nest box? and if so for how long before i add the hen?
  21. You my need to ask defra or the Ireland equivalent to bring in captive birds (pet pigeons).
  22. I've heard that theres a swansea show in early Jan, does any one know the full details?
  23. At the moment i only have 3 thieves, oh i mean kids LOL. Pics to follow once i've cleaned out he loft (i really hate scraping pigeon poo) Location: Coventry
  24. Forgot to mention were also hoping to pick up a couple pairs of recesive yellows and reds. if were lucky and have enough money left over from the christmas markets.
  25. Me and my 9 yr old daughter are going with Andy lowe. I'm so excited ;D. First trip to europe and i've already sorted 2 pairs of White kings from a master breeder. I've got Hayden to look them over for me for quality. Saj
