:) BANG ON MEALLY BAR ;D ;D ;D A LOT OF BIRDS ARE WASTED FOR THE SEASON GETTING TRAINED IN COLD EAST WINDS IN MARCH APRIL

21 DAYS IF THE OLD BIRDS HAVE BEEN FED IN THEIR BOXES, [THE YBS SEE THIS]

YES I ALLREADY NEW THAT BUT DIDNT SAY ANY THING NEITHER THE RSPB OR DEFRA INFORMED ME AS I WAS E MAILING THEM , THAT TELLS A STORY

:) SOUNDS GOOD JASON, GOOD LUCK :)

;D ;D ;D HAPPY TWO BIRTHDAYS SPECKLED ;D ;D ;D

AGREE WITH SIVER WINGS, COULD HAPPEN IN THE NEST OR EVEN ACCIDENT, BUT HAVE TO SAY IVE WON WITH BIRDS WITH BENT KEELS, IN FACT WE USED TO CALL THE BIRD " BENT KEEL" :)

YES I DID, IUSED AN OLD WIDOWHOOD COCK , WHEN I SPOTTED A BIRD COMMING.THE OLD COCK FLEW STRAIGHT THROUGH THE OPEN DOORS, WITH THE RACING COCK FOLLOWING, IN TO THEIR HENS, NEVER WASTED A SECOND. :)

youll need to use your imagination, the hawk will be back for the dead bird

what about the wittnesses children included , bound to do them damage

why dont you see a lawyer about sueing rspb you would get a free consultation, worth asking anyway

these ultrasonic cat deterrents do work, i was sceptical at first, until my brother in law got one, there was a cat came in to his garden every day, and pestered the guinie pigs and budgies, he had it just set up when the cat appeared, i switched the thing on, well the cat couldnt have jumped beachers brook better, and all the guinie pigs scampered like a flash in to their wendy house, so it definately worked then. but i dont know if the cat would get used to it, but hes not bothered with cats now.

:)GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU JOHNYSFARM,,, AND GOOD TO HEAR YOUR YBS ARE SOUND MS PIGEON, I THINK ITS HALF THE BATTLE IF THEY GET A GOOD START IN LIFE, GOOD LUCK TO YOU :)

WHEN THEIR FEEDING YBS THEY WONT EAT MUCH MAIZE, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT ,ITS PROTEIN

:) A GOOD BIRTHDAY PRESENT ;D ;D

COULD BE A FEW REASONS FOR FLYAWAYS, THE MAIN REASON I THINK IS OVERCROWDING, REMEMBER OUR BIRDS ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO THE ROCK DOVES, WHICH LIVED IN ROCKS AND CAVE OPENINGS ON THE COAST, IF THEY BRED AND BRED , THEY WOULD BE STANDING ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER, SO I THINK NATURE STEPS IN , AND SOME OF THESE YBS WOULD "FLYAWAY" AND FORM ANOTHER COLONY ELSEWHERE,, SO OUR "FLYAWAYS". RESEMBLE THAT. OFF COURSE THERES WAYS TO STOP IT, ONE IS BY NOT OVERCROWDING, AND ANOTHER IS LETTING THEM OUT LATER IN THE EVENING [ CERTAINLY NOT AT MIDDAY] UNTILL THEY GET A BIT OF EXPERIENCE [AND THEIR HUNGRIER THEN ALSO

:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINGS, HAVE A GOOD DAY, AND MANY MORE TO COME :)

AGREE WITH CELTIC , NICE TO HERE VIEWS FROM OVER THE POND.

"But that is as far as Milton goes. It CANNOT sterilise drinking water because it has an inbuilt 'infant safeguard' ... Milton is neutralised on contact by ANY protein." " bruno " from milton themselves,,,IF YOUR UNSURE ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER,PARTICULARLY , WHEN OUT AND ABOUT, ADD A TEASPOON OF MILTON TO 8 PTS OF WATER, LEAVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS AND IT WILL BE SAFE TO MIX WITH YOUR BABY FOODS,,

BRILLIANT LOFTS AND SET UP CLOCKY ;D ;D ;D AT LEAST YOULL KNOW THE WIND DIRECTION,,,,,FROM INSIDE THE LOFTS ;D ;D ;D PLENTY AIR ITS FREE ;D ;D ;D VERY GOOD INDEED,

wings, nobody would like to see you getting one than me, and i know if ladbrookes were laying odds, who would be the favs, but the favs dont allways win there have been many good winners in the past ,in the west, its just a case of getting the bird and the conditions right on the day, and as i said before ,a bird right on the day can beat many obstacles, best of luck to you,youll do it. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN YOU ARE, IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT YOU DONT. IF YOUD LIKE TO WIN ,BUT THINK YOU CANT, ITS PRETTY WELL SURE YOU WONT. LIFES BATTLES DONT ALLWAYS GO TO THE STRONGER OR LOUDER MAN, BUT SOONER OR LATER THE MAN THAT WINS, IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN. ;D ;D ;D ;D AND YOU CAN , JIMMY

i have a chap with me now reading these posts with me, he has lofts and is on the swither to start again,,he knows he wont be short of getting birds,, he was quite a reasonable flier , but is put off by,in his words "all the argue bargue, and the splitting of clubs,ie having two nationals" hes now asking me" how you can have two nationals" this chap packed in about 4 years ago, and still likes pigeons very much. i have tried my best to get him to start, i know hes on the swither, can anyone help convince him, as i know he would be happy with pigeons. jimmy
