this is very true,, but can the rspb proove they are NOT native to britain,,,,, the answer to this is a simple,,no?? but who wins ,,obviosly the rspb ,,why , because they are mightier :(

bang on the button chriss exactly

now that is really a shame?? as they should come back when called all down to bad training

too many chriss,s ;D ;D ;D, there are differences of opinion from the rspb ,,which say they are not native to britain,???? and the top ornithologists , that say they are native to britain

sorry chrisss, but this is illegal,,, and can result in a large fine,,the eagle owl [ as we have many previous posts on this forum] eats mainly rabbit, which are plentyfull all year round , they will not tolerate any other bird of prey near their nesting site, and will kill them whilst roosting.

not the best of advert , showing the intelligence of fanciers ,",josh",,,,,,,sock birds :( well ,,well well fancy the sun putting this in :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/,,,strange

c,mon,,"me" you should know better ,,,,,,,,,,,,the guy who removed your ets ring [as a rubber] is doing you a favour??????? rubbish, >: > >(, maybe a note put on its ring to let the owner know where its been,, p,s i dont beleive" strags" especialy young birds are all bad birds,,, its more often the bad members that make them in to "strags" .. off course, weather ,hawks etc can do the same,,, but as well you know,,they are not all bad ,,,in fact , some have won nationals ,,,,i,e jock watson kirkliston ,maybe,,just one ,, i myself [was going to say me ;D] topped the fed with a" strag",,,and many more [they dont make the strags like they used to ;D]

my veiw,,its a dirty ,rotten trick,, but dont find it happen that often, after speaking to many fanciers ,in ALL organizations

i must say,, pecked hens white pigeons are stunning

still overcast in lothians,, but trying to break up now. [thought i saw the sun for a sec ;D could have been, but hard to recognise ;D

any word of" bonnie" yet?,,,,she cerainly is bonnie,[not much consolation to the owners, :'(], i certainly hope shes home, safe and well , and the culprits dealt with

yes,,,,, but feel if all members, plus freinds and neighbours and all joined this site as above [ united front is the word ]

more good members than bad,,,,, ;D theres allways a little bad in the best of us and allways a little good in the worst of us

a big welcome im sure you will enjoy the forum

last post prior to this one was 2007 , pics not on it now,, maybe weby can get them back on for you, sam , hope so [was when we changed the site],, if you still have them , you can allways post them again good luck sam

and making sure your first bird is pooled ;D otherwise skint ;D,,, the thing about pools are ,,,they are optional , so if your not a betting man , you dont have to pool ,, we used to have a hundred pound pool [in the nationals] , some were against this,, could never understand this , because , whatever the pooling is,,its allways optional, even if its a ten pence pool, so the way i see it ,,if the pools ,[say] went up to ten pounds in either club or fed ,,i,e if only 5 members entered ten pound pool [and your one of them ] your really only racing against 4 birds for fifty pounds ,,,,,,,,money can cause a lot of problems , but simple,, you either pool or you dont , your certainly not forced to good luck anyway p,s the average prizemoney in a club race is very little

JUST E,MAILED THEM NOW

they dont keep pigeons and had no idea it was from liverpool :-/,,, they have returned back to wales on tuesday ,, the bird was still there ,,,,,,,,,,,at least i can now e,mail phone no,, thanks to rose allthough they belong to liverpool, i now find they stay at GARSTANG

happy 21st susan ;D ;D ;D,,,,,happy birthday have a good one

also,,,why,,is there so many threads hijacked ,,,, so many vindictive posts ,,,, and so many off topic posts ,,,,, dont think "pigeon basics" looks for perfection , but when its done by the same members it often gets boring , i say keep this site as the greatest of all , and let us all be proud and thankfull for it , and can all, only but try, and be an asset to the site .........mind you nothing wrong with a good ding dong ;D ;D ;D as long as its contructive ;D ;D ;D, but thankfully in the main , we have mostly great members , all different , ,some serious, some funny, some great posters , we have all topics covered ,from the main page ,private messages , through to the racing pigeon page, show bird page ,health page and lots more, right down to the lost and found page ,,,really a lot to be gratefull for , i for one would like to thank you webmaster , for the time and effort you have put in to this great site as im sure most will agree ;D ;D ;D,,,now can i have that tenner you owe me ;D ;D ;D

best way

this,in my opinion should be the ruling of all organisations ,as the convoyer should not be able to decide ,it should be down to the race officials and race cotrollers

sorry, i dont mean to be unkind chris, but i cannot understand your post??? as for snfc birds being broken into bart ,, cant remember that , but did that not happen in another race ,,,seem to remember something like this,,maybe someone will know what it was [i could be wrong , but something sticks in my mind about this , maybe come to me later,,senility creeping in ;D ;D ;D]
