you would , at the very least , have signed for them, its what youve signed for. which is in debate [thats if they asked you to sign]

yes charlie has raced hens on many occasions and won well with them

citizens advice should sort it all out [but have a strict privacy code of conduct]

just out of curiosity,, i wonder if members would be willing to say [ 1] how many young birds you bred in 2006? [2] how many two year olds left now racing?

if they [amtrack] didnt give out a delivery note,,,,,,,tell cit. advice. theyll find" terms and conditions" [i think theve broke one here already

wooff bros, new ollerton ,,,,fed champs both north and south rd for many years ,,, racing both cocks and hens seperately

i worked for cit, advice...........would say take all documents of amtracks conditions,and explain situation , im sure they will help

hi billy ,, nice looking birds ill put them on the photo postings where you can put as many as you like on , and add to it from time to time ,,,,,,,,,good luck with the pressing the buttons :) :)im sure youll get the hang of it,, look forward to see more pics:)

welcome to the forum jo jo [i think theres another member from the philipines ] it would be nice to hear your veiws about pigeons in the philipines kindest regards and hope you enjoy the forum

maybe youll get another look see if theres a letter between the 07 [which is the year born] and the number ...., the su indicates a" scottish union bird ",, then the letter is the area ,i,e, f ,,,fife,,,,,p, pentland , ml ,,midlothian...nw...north west etc etc etc off course some rings are bought straight from the union , these are the less common ones without a letter on them, so maybe just get a peep and see the other ring will be a rubber ring , which is the ring that goes in the pigeon clock when home from a race , so obviously this bird has been in a race . but being in fife [and a scottish bird ] theres every chance the bird could home to its loft when fit but through the scottish homing union , every scottish bird can be traced to the owner by its full ring number i think youve did well to care for it, im sure the owner will be very gratefull,,,,,kindest regards

this is the best way, in my opinion too,,,,,,,grit,,, mineral..pots . soon get soiled and become a haven for worm oocysts [eggs] and cocci,, ,,,,cheap enough to keep fresh , a teaspoonfull would do a pair a couple of days ,,,,,but when feding young, they will eat [and need a lot more ] best of luck

i would tend to leave well alone , just reguler baths and preening, itll soon wear off ,, this is the safest way for the birds feathering

once theve settled , ie mated and sitting and had a chance to see outside ,maybe with a makeshift aviary , that you can take down when their homing ,, theres a chance theyll stay, but they never forget their old loft ?? a lot easier with 3 to 4 week babies

released tuesday [due to weather] bird shot away ,,,hope the owner has him back

oh looking good now philips,,,,,,,,,,,,,i see the pic of the trophie missing,, will try and get it back up later

i have a result, cut out the rp, of an international , this was snfc where you could duplicate them into the international , this was run by usher vaux , i think this would be about 1959,,,,,,,,,it was the year beglin bros bo ness won the scottish national with high noon [a grooter ] cant get smilies ,,,,,,,,,,,,,my dad and i hadnt joined the national but could send to this,, if my memory serves me right , we were about 90th international with" the wegge" surp 57 ed 367 true, " smile",,,,,,,,,,boy, what a memory ha ha

i think youve did the sensible thing , a lot of fanciers wouldnt have" waisted" the petrol, but lost birds , i wouldnt have shown the hens , just put a pinch of red band in each box

just enjoy yourself ben, at your age youll be able to both ,pigeons and party,, a big tip as mentioned b4,, dont drink , and dont drug,,,,,,,,,that way youll still win races and get on with the other birds too

i would assume the nrcc is not a national ,,as its letters suggest , its a championship club, a national , should be the nation .ie scot eng, n ireland wales ,,,,,but with such big distance differance between longest and shortest fliers , defining the best bird is not neccesary the winner

shall release bird [put a note on its leg] first thing in morning in if weathers ok ,, the bird is in good condition , and should manage home ok

scottish saying theorie ,, never cast a cloot till mys oot interpretated never discard any clothing till after the month of may , this could be a good theorie for distance races in june or july , never have them cast there first flight till after the month of may

very good thinking hjaitland i dont think this is normal practise to the fancy,but would agree with you, it does make sence i think we put too much into" remembering" how they handled etc when theve won, and guessing the weight [by mind]..........a very interesting post
