;D ;D ;D seems we have an arguement on our hands ;D ;D ;D ;D wiley had a fantastic season topping it up with winning his w,e,f breeder buyer, ;D ;D ;D, ,, i was the buyer ,, but wiley did all the hard work,,, speckled was the breeder ,and sent her best ,, so a great combination ,, so i would like for wiley to keep any prizemoney , but hes not having any of it,,, so the arguement goes on ;D ;D ;D ;D

alltogether 8 back now,,one injured

does anyone know which club this belongs to in fife ????

dont see why the birds wont race from different points,, remember the gentleman blind fancier my freind jed jackson, winning the pau nat with genista ,, the prevoius weeks it was at lerwick

have to say chrissy ;D again i agree with you ;D,, very simple what theve not consumed in 5 mins is not required , but do beleive in excercising birds in winter even if its not every day,,

i dont say this,, the rspb say this ,, any bird born in the wild in Britain is termed as a british bird

i think the loft position can determine what time of the year you want your birds at their best, also the temperature in the loft, i had a freind deceased now , who used a brick garage as a loft , this loft was freezing until june when it warmed up, this lad could score well at the distance with these birds mind you he did set them up well , but he reckoned this was best for late conditioning ,ie june, july

nat from sweden would sort them all out ,, could it be done 475 miles of water ??,, bet it could in the right weather,, same distance to aberdeen as to eymouth . glasgow would get direct overfly from edin ,,,never happen though :-/

a lot of fanciers call this a protein lump,, i am the awkward one ;D in saying this is not the cause , pigeons use more protein whilst moulting,, ,, its strange how only the one usualy gets this, all being fed the same , i personally beleive this is a blood disorder of some kind,, i have had this many times b4 ,,usualy with a yb at the end of a hard season , i have found either way works , by tying a cotton tight round the base , killing off the blood supply,, or simply leaving it , and will come of on its owm ,, maybe a mess for one day 2 days later youd never knew it had it, would put garlic in water

a natural moult is best ,, plenty baths as this induces the moult and helps in a good moult , a touch of linseed, and a good mix high in protein

i think you possibly read my previous post wrong,, i meant there's a photo of me,,jimmy white , with an eagle owl on my arm in the photo column

i am agreeing with you eagle owl,, as i said in my last sentence,, but the wild ones are wild therefore british birds with the same protection ,, and the strange thing is , as the law says, and the rspb says, [allthough i doubt if they would adhere to the law,which they havent been doing for sometime now] that if that cross you say, even if escapees , if the yb,s are bred in the wild they would be termed as British wild birds [or maybe i should say ,, they should be ??] and should have the same protection

if you look on the shops roofs in the center of kelso. there are hundreds ,, most with rings , bet a lot of these birds return to the owners when the food dries up [i,e grain in fields etc

with due respect eagle owl,, if any bird is bred in the wild , in Britain, is classed as a British bird, so im afraid your first paragraph is wrong [this is stated by the rspb] again with due respect your second paragraph is saying they are native to Britain once more with due respect , although these birds have lived in the wild in Britain,,for a number of years now,, how many reports are on record as to eagle owls attacking babies , humans etc compared to other large type birds ,, you would know the eagle owl comes out at night,[like all owls ], nests in the most remotest of spots, same as peregrines, and without meaning to sound arrogant,, i couldnt see many people taking their pram and baby through a cliff faced quarry in the dark,, i understand your feelings on releasing captive birds ,[these birds can be tame and unafraid of humans] , but wild eagle owls are in fact like many British birds , actually frightened of humans, as they probably know man is their only enemy [as you say] [somewhere on the photos column on pb you will see a pic of me with a tame eagle owl on my arm ], but can understand your feelings on the release of tame birds

these birds come under the same protection of anyother british bird,, so in fact you could be in trouble if found out :-/

this is more to the point ,, most adult feral pigeons are quite healthy ,, its the y b,s that are runts, not been reared right etc , these the birds birds usually succumb to infection, mostly canker ,, nature soon rids itself of these birds as they are eaten by sparrow hawks and such like ,as posted above ,,,,i havea bridge near me, in the country , where these country ferals are in tip top condition , and they have to fly for their food , and beleive me , they do
