FLICKING, GOOD SNOWY ;D ;D ;D ;D

wee bit of an irish one that chris ;D ;D ;D quote" we have shared all our secrets" ;D ;D any information on racing pigeons is allways welcome,FOR ALL FANCIERS ;D ;D ;D i think you should be proud of your u,n,c info

a great gesture by his club, i would be willing to give donation ,at least try and restore his faith in human nature, cheers

beat me again hyacinth ;D ;D ;D ;D was just going to say that , honestly ;D ;D ;D

give her" old hands elementals" quick, shell be ok in 24 hours ,, is she ready to lay,,ray [sorry ray ,sounds like a poem, didnt mean it] ,,,modified post, just seen hyacinth,s take her advice "elementals "are calcium tablets and yeast tablets you give one of each

as i said in my other post would you be able to shoot all the hawks, when the pigeons are flying the 500 mile gauntlet? through moors mountains and valleys.no, but there has to be a way legally, to at least balance the population of ever increasing hawks, even just to get an opening, through the law somehow. shooting one in the garden may solve your imediate problem but its the uk population we want sorted out.

;Dis it true clockman got the job as chef??? ;D ainslie white ;D doc. ;D ;D ;D ;D

peanuts are full of protein and good for the growing youngster, but it still needs a balanced diet,, it would be like you having steak for breakfast dinner and tea, but the old birds will naturally eat more protein whilst feeding young

whats the answer tam [legally]

tam , with due respect you cannot break the law, and whats worse is aiding people to break the law, you will be well aware that the rspb [not the rspca,as you say]will be reading these posts, you do what you want do do, but its unfair to others to aid them in breaking the law. im quite sure there are many fanciers have ways of keeping hawks away.i completely understand you, but it would be better done legally, as there would be fanciers in serious trouble,if they get caught.in these council run nature reserves the council show you pictures what you should see, all sorts of song birds, well i didnt see any just a few sparrow hawks, so i will report this to the council and take the matter further, to my counciller, now if every body done this in the uk, maybe, just maybe, something could be done,legally . i mean hundreds of nature reserves with no song birds,but hawks around ,something has to be done, and tam , please, youll never skin the rspb in 15 weeks.,not even in 15 years im not getting at you tam , i know how you feel, but i think we have to be carefull what we print, good luck anyway tam

local nature reserve with no song birds

IF YOU LOOK AT THE ADVANTAGES PROPERTIS OF GARLIC, THEIR ALLMOST ENDLESS AND ALL FOR A FEW PENCE :)

QUITE AGREE WITH YOU CHATRACE [ NOT THAT WE GET MUCH OF IT ;D ;D ;D] ALSO ROSE HAS A POINT FOR CONDITIONING BIRDS FOR LATER IN THE SEASON, YOU CAN USE THE SUN TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, 10 WEEKS B4 THE BIG ONE, AS MUCH SUN AS POSS. :) :) AND ME TALKING ABOUT SUN IN SCOTLAND, WOW ;D ;D ;D

SORRY TO HEAR THAT SNOWY, AT LEAST YOU TRIED

WRONG DATE ON MY CAMERA, BUT THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN TODAY

JUST HAD A PHONECALL FROM MY MATE WHO WORKS ON THE FORTH RAIL BRIDGE, HE SEES THE PERIGRINE KILLING PIGEONS REGULARLY, BUT HE WAS TELLING ME THERE WAS A WHITE ONE THERE, FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, WELL IT WAS KILLED YESTERDAY WITH THE PERIGRINE AS HE WATCHED IT.

A WEE HANDFULL OF LINSEED IS DEFINATELY GOOD FOR THE MOULT, IN MY OPINION

I TOOK PART IN THE RSPB BIRD WATCH,NOTHING TO DO WITH PIGEONS, OR RATHER ALL BIRDS INCLUDING PIGEONS, I VISITED MY LOCAL NATURE RESERVE, 5 MINS FROM MY HOME, I CAN HONESTLY SAY I NEVER SEEN ONE SONG BIRD , NEVER HEARD ONE CHEEP, FOUND THE OLD CARCASS OF A PIGEON, THAT WAS ABOUT THAT, PHOTOS SHOULD BE ON HAWKS POST SHORTLY, THANKS TO SPEIGHT, I SHALL BE MAKING SERIOUS ENQUIRIES IN TO THE COUNCIL AS YOULL SEE THEIR ADVERT PROMISED ME I WOULD SEE ALL SORTS OF BIRDS. IKNOW THE AREA BETTER THAN MOST, AND REGULARLY VISIT IT, AND HAVE SEEN THE HAWKS, I SHALL SEE THE COUNCIL AND RSPB TO SEE IF THEYLL CHANGE THERE MISLEADING SIGN, OR LET ME KNOW WHY I CAN NEVER SEE ANY SONGBIRDS NOW. I USED TO GO BIRD NESTING THERE AS A BOY, IT WAS A HAVEN FOR SONGBIRDS,,,,,BUT NOT NOW, ITS AS DEAD AS A DODO

ROOF COLAPSES IN POLAND KILLING AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE A ROOF COLAPSED YESTERDAY IN POLAND, KILLING AT LEAST 12 PEOPLE AND INJURING SOME 100 OTHERS .

once theve hatched westy, as much as theyll eat, as much protein down them as you can ie peas beans, peanuts etc youll find they wont even eat the carboheydrates ,maize etc, they know what they want an when they want it, but whilst rearing make sure theres plenty of minerals, grits pickstones . theyll eat all this like mad, once they stop feeding youll notice they wonteat nearly as much, grit mineralsand pickstones, and will eat the maize then, hope this helps westy cheers

my god, what a terrible disaster, lets hope and pray theres no more casualties

sorry to here about that westy, but you never know you might have saved them ,if youve got them back under the hen and shes sitting, i hope so, but sometimes these things happen, good luck anyway

i realise what your saying hyacinth, but what do you do, ??? sit and watch them terrify your birds , shoot them then go to jail, no i beleive we have to keep on trying , the legal way. i know its like f,,ting against thunder ;D but we must keep at it.,, an opening will come one day

aspergiliosis is a sort of fungus that can get in to the pigeons respiratory system , if you look up the web youll get more info lovely photos carl , birds look very happy

youll find that if the widowhood cock has not sat any longer than 7 to 10 days on their second round of eggs,, they wont cast there second flight untill very late in the season in fact i had won a 500 mile combine race in june, with a cock never cast a flight, paired in jan.
