Hi Mark Brian trained our birds on Sunday and to say the chuck was a disaster is an understatement - Cracking day, Healthy birds, a bit of a jump in distance but certainly nothing that could or should challenge them. Yet many failed to clear your area and simply cannot explain it - The birds had only been tested that week and had been training and flying around home well. Simply cannot explain it - I stuck my nose up to this ' K index' thing until Sunday but now think there is something in it.

It was an Admin and Mod decision. As such its not open for discussion, Its the decision we have taken in the best interests of this site and its members.

Ive had a better idea now mate just have to sort it with Blythy over a couple of bottles of Absinthe or Vodka!

So am i - well sort of but i have 6 months to keep slipping the money out the mrs housekeeping to get a few ;D

What day are you going? , just want to make sure i have picked out what pairs im having young from before you lol ;D

Well done and good on yer Martin. Think he is spending tonight gazing in at his true love, God knows what his mrs will make of him sleeping on the loft floor though gazing at the nestboxes! ;D

Have made it a sticky will give it a week or so and then let it fall back down.

Appreciate what your saying Wayne - The big Amtrack advantage was quick delivery - I still wouldnt wish them back though just as i wouldnt use half the couriers out there at the minute - If the couriers i rate cant do the job then the birds dont come or go.

I had the type in the link for years but moved over to Pipo's with grills in and much prefer them over the type your looking at as with the grills it gives the chance to look at the droppings.

Its overcast here but hope it will clear before i basket them dont plan to send with the fed on Saturday as cant see the sense in the race point so if dont get to Bubwith today then will get at some point this week and then again on Sunday.

Hoping to take my Young birds to Bubwith later this morning (weather permitting)

Anyone have contact details for forum member Weirbridge please - Located in Catterick Thanks in advance

Agree Craig's a great bloke - Helping many people on here without looking for praise or return.

Spot on he will no doubt have a difficult situation on his release - Especially if he remains in the local area for which he committed the offence. Needless to say not sure prison will be that hard for him and two years will mean a few months, i know when i thought i was heading there it wasnt the thought of it that bothered me it was the fact i would miss a summer! Hopefully though in his future his time in prison will affect his future employment opportunities as he will have to declare this for most jobs.

This is the only one i own at present

Cut the corn down, on the rare occasions i go training with them i have an old cassette recorder thing that has a whistle on it - I just play that in the garden so they think i am there calling them in - They come home to a few handfulls of trapping mix and get there main feed when i get back.

Do they trap when you fly them around home?

I am ripping the front out of my young birds loft today and replacing it with wire mesh and a fine netting so will technically be opened up.

Do you have a close up mate - Especially of the aviary please

Who built it mate - Very nice loft

Ecalyptus oil - About £1.00 from any chemist Always makes my nasal passages feel clear when in the loft
