Normanton Federation at Peterborough, 88 miles to me

Well Mikey, do you like them know youve got them ;D ;D

Glad you like them mate, i wasnt kidding when i said they were crackers, i know theyll win for you mate. Good luck, and i hope all goes well, Simon

Well Les, i got my first chuck in today and theyve come just lovely, its the best weather weve had. First chuck ten miles, and i must agree that some fanciers start training too early. Ive sent them to the first race on many years and won them, i think if they are excersised well round home, and looked after, you only need to get a couple of chucks into them, to dust away the cobwebs as to speak. last year my old birds had 4 chucks before the first race, which i was 2nd, and then went on to win the next three. Training is about picking your right time with the weather, unfortunately when your working thats hard to do. still think though that we all start far too early, why we dont wait till late April when the weathers just turning and longer days lord only knows. :(

Heres the two youngsters ive bred for you mate, good luck Simon

Glad you like them mate, as ive said there from our best, so if you dont win with them ill come over there aand show you how ;D ;D ;D

And the last pair, not cracking photos mate, but weve had no sun all day here in Yorkshirte, all its done is snow, snow and snow. Simon

Cheers Mikey, ill be posting the pictures on this thread for you over the bank holiday mate, so you can see whats coming, and theres some crackers.lol

Cant let that go for that price, £30-00

Timbarra, you ought to be a Detective my son. ;D ;D

I work where Life On Mars is a reality :o , the good side of the law. Whod have thought Cat Trouble would cause such a COO. The law in Scotland Fiscal, has totally different powers and acts to ourselves, if the truth be known, theyve got it sorted. so it first hand at G8 ;D ;D

Take it from an officer of the law who does know what hes talking about, and the answer is no, owners cannot be liable for their cats doing, only dogs, and that is when they attack humans and or dogs. its the same if you knock a cat down with your car(by accident of course before somebody gets on their high horse again), you dont have to report the matter and/or stop, only for dogs. Not bad for a LOOSER and WASTER,if im right in thinking its me who the comments were aimed at.

Good on you mate, had a look at the site and seems good. i must admit 10 years ago i was given a very expensive repellant from a deceased fanciers wife, and i never did see a cat, however at this time i had a wild cat have kittens under the huts which was an absolute nightmare at the time, and took a long time to shift. You have to make sure that the antena covers all around the huts.

First and fore most, if you read the thread in its entiraty, you will see that i never told the lad to KILL a cat, i was agreeing with another members comments, again my views. I dont have a problem with cats, only when im trying to get them out of the jaws of my jack russells mouth, like me, they dont like them either. And i dont need telling about the law, i put a uniform on and keep the peace, as to speak. One thing i would never do though is contemplate reporting other pigeon members for doing so to the RSPCA as youve pointed out!!

Take your point buddy, but the lads asking for advice, and thats all the members have done, given there advice. Not once has the person criticising others given advice, and thats my point. A lot of what has been said has been in jest, and thats how it should be taken.

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK AT PACKING IN THEN MATE. NEARLY EVERY PIGEON MAN I KNOW SHARES THE SAME VIEW, AND NO PERSON HAS ACTUALLY SAID THEY KILLED A CAT. MAYBE WITH YOUR BRAINS YOUD BE BETTER SUITED TO UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE, OR ANIMAL RESCUE, AND LET PIGEON MEN SPEAK FREELY, WITHOUT WORRY OF UPSETTING SOMEONE. OR MAYBE YOUR JUST IN THAT SMALL MINORITY OF PEOPLE WHOS GOT NOWT BETTER TO DO. REMEMBER WHAT THIS THREAD WAS FOR, ADVICE WITH CATS, AND THATS ALL THAT THE "PIGEON " MEN HAVE DONE. SIMPLE, IF YOU DONT LIKE THE VIEWS THEN DONT READ IT

Here Here, if you cant protect what youve got, then whats the point in trying. Cat proof, no such thing. First off all before you report someone for animal cruelty, then you have to have evidence at hand and even then the likelyhood of conviction is slim to nil, trust me i know.. Disagree with Timbarra totally, would he/she feel the same if tabby had just taken his best bird, i think not. If youve found a "cat proof" method, then lets here it, as we all live and learn. Its one thing keeping them out of the huts, very easy, but to stop them coming at all, think not. Obviously i didint attend your university.

That promotion went a long time ago :P . Anyway, its not an offence when it involves a cat, or at least thats what i tell everyone. You should see my local post office, bloody full of pictures of cats that have gone missing, shame about the reward ones though ;D ;D

I agree with Dave, cat trap, then to the car exhaust, only takes about a minute ive heard ;D ;D ;D Then at night drop it on the roadside, hey presto, Poor old tabby has been run over, and gone to kitty heaven, goodnight. Its hard to do when there wet threw ;D ;D

Soul destroying buddy, its not a rat though, it will either be a weasel, mink or pole cat. Rats tend to take small amount at a time. I know there illegal, but if you know anybody who has a gyn trap, thats the best mate. Ive youngsters that will be hatching in about two weeks time, let me no by pm if your still short.
