;D ;D ;D i thought you were talking about the differance of a he moth and a she moth ;D ;D no, but seriously im sure i read that some where as well, cant remember if it was" levis book on the pigeon", some one borrowed mine and never returned it.i think it was something to do with the fumes as they are made from parrafin and camphor, maybe someone can shed a little light on the subject, i know my father used the odd couple in the loft, but that was a long time ago,,,would be interested to hear :)

:) i also e.mailed milton some time ago, but got know answer, hope you have better luck, as like you, i do find this a bit strange. :)

snowy, " has any one used bleach" reckon about the whole of brittain has, probably without knowing it,,,,,kilpatricks minerals contain bleach" chlorine", lots of fanciers use this, and boy do they eat it when feeding young

THATS NOT SO BAD HYACINTH, SO ILL STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF HEARING IT,,GOOD

;D ;D ;D I MUST BE SLOWING UP , I JUST GOT THAT ONE , SPECK, SNOWY ;D ;D ;D

blinkin missed it,,,,anyone get it on disc? :'( :'( :'(

just read it all fifer,,injure a badger and youll get fined 5000 pounds steal an old ladies handbag, and get community service something far wrong some where, yes i did see the bit about pigeon fanciers,talk about being targeted, thats how we have to watch what we say

split the box in two with the cock in one side and hen in the other, both locked in, put the two of them out everyday themselves, then as soon as their in ,lock them up again.seperately so they can see each other, theyll eventually pair, itll give the other pairs a bit of peace, when his hen has laid hell settle down,,,,hopefully

agree with spelbin plenty fersh air ,bone dry loft, and minimum birds, and agree with chatrace tylan will cure this,,,,, but would be more prepared to find out why they have contracted problem

:) happy birthday pete , have great day :)

:) yes, welcome back samantha, a wee break does knowbody any harm , youll be back now with renewed vigour ;D ;D good luck

;D ;D ;D youll find my photo fifers exhibition post, mobster, the one with the baldy heid is my twin brother ;D ;D ;D youll find it also in the photos column with national dress on,THE KILT ;D ;D ;D

wheather we like it or not, the info, given by bruno has been fact ,and not gossip, sometimes it doesnt make good reading, but we can" change channel" if we want to, personally i would rather see these factual updates than sweep it under the carpet, this is getting more dangerous than ever now, belgium is not that far away.my own opinion would be that the most dangerous carriers, would be the hawks, as they could just as easy be feeding on infected birds, then pass it to the" few that escape" these cannibal birds, have to pose a threat, and a very bad one at that

:) happy birthday frank :) have a great day :)

as im sure bruno will agree were going over old ground, the milton debate is on the forum, on page 2health, under yb sickness but what do notice is , my post has went slightly adrift, as i said" i dont use it ",,only for crop infection,,,i also notice that bruno said in a few posts above that it contains 38 pc salt and in a previous post states it contains 16.5 salt, i also notice" oh dear disenfectant"but now uses vanodine [ which is exellent in my opinion], but still a dissenfectant , iodine based. ifyou look at the bhw article on ian and anne scofield of bradford,,by gringo,,,,they have won 500 races in 5 years , they say they put a teaspoonfull of milton in the water everyday. if any one is willingto try my simple experiment, please let me know, all you need is a bottle of milton, and 6 heavily coffee or tea stained cups, pm me

think i have it now, same as westy archives at the mo.

just found out what" ingluvin"its made from the gizzard of fowl, and is used to combat sickness and diarrhoea,,,,yuck but who knows , would it be any good for yb sickness [remember the book was 1908] i must say i love those photos, especialy the very first red cheq :)

exellent photos, some real crackers there, a lot better looking than the two cheqs i had,,i also paired one with a racer, like fifer, they went down about the second or third race, but mind you, half the other ybs were lost before these :P p.s i have a book called "a treatise on the dragoon pigeon , published 1908 one interesting point in this old book was,,"when feeding young,each meal should be followed by the administration of as much "ingluvin" as will cover a sixpenny peice"im now going to fiind out what " ingluvin" is, or was, just find it very interesting :)

do any of you fancy pigeon fanciers still have dragoons, i had a few pairs years ago , but never hear much about them now, would be nice to see some photos of them

must admit what a beautifull looking bird

:) good luck with your new loft, sounds good :)

i would say its very important to have yearling widowhood cocks sit and rear a pair of yb,s in their box

anybody get the total???

very strange indeed,,,along with the e mail to bruno???
