a van full, ;D,,,,, of cash for mr claybourne ;D ;D ;D well done mr claybourne :)great going

anyone any ideas?/

in my opinion , i would say this would be more to the point,,birds with costitution, bred from birds with constitution, if any" strains" were better than others, it would , or should , show up a mile away in these one loft races ,[but they dont ],,,, as o,y says look at the sun city race , a cross [but a lot of cash though ;D, bet the owner wasnt cross anyway ;D ;D]]

all looking good ,bandit,, good luck

very good pics, very nice birds,, best of luck garry

brilliant clip

great in winning his appeal,, if he can manage to regain the costs now,, would be fantastic,, best of luck

absolutely marvelous,,, well done ian and all

this is supposed to have a certain calming effect, rather than bright white,,, the canary men have their breeding/show cages this colour

as said above , twilight , or sem-dark,, yb,s need to fully body moult without casting flights [the odd one usually does] then put on normal daylight hours on the longest day. remember these yb,s have a second full moult after last race,

i wouldnt use anti-biotics unless absolutely neccessary,, and under avian vets advice, [according to him ,pigeon fanciers are using these willy nilly , causing , in fact more probs] his words. not mine

happy birthday casbri, have a good one

yes ,, any dampness is very bad , the drier the loft the better

after talking to the lady and gent , they did come round to my way of thinking,,, if anyone can print a polite notice aimed at the public, and, explaining the true facts , i would most certainly have this put in the window,,,,,,maybe this "fact"sheet from the rspb , could be counter acted ,by song bird lovers , countryside lovers , pigeon fanciers etc,, to form an honest fact sheet , which could be sent to many "places" [along with this rspb one] thousands ,in fact??? maybe worth a thought :-/

i know that the rspb,,are anything but stupid,, but how on earth can they state these facts to the public , when it is so obvious,,,,it is just not true,,,,,,,no habitat for house sparows,,[no houses??],,unbeleivable ,, surely there must be a way to combat these blatant lies

dont know if you can make this out

notice pinned on pet shop window,,,,now in my possesion , with a little explaining to the petshop owner [who was understandably concerned , never having thought of my veiws , but does now,, and agrees,,,,,,, a survey has recently been carried out by the rspb, to find out what has happened to the house sparrow, where they are located and the numbers present. information has been emerging. and east london comes high up in the table, with 282 sparrows spotted. this a far cry from the large flocks, that once flew over this area. the largest flock spotted was about 100, the average being 14...just over a decade ago, it was not unusual to see colonies of 1,000. allthoghthe survey dealt with sparrows, ther are many species of british wild birds that are under threat, including the bull finch, song thrush, linnet and sky lark. dramatic changes in the countrieside and urban areas have seen birds like turtle doves, sparrow and linnet reduced by an alarming rate,,,,millions of country birds are threatened by food shortages, and the loss of their habitat, others have just dissapeared from our towns and cities..... if you want to know more about joining the rspb phone,,,,,,, or visit link below,,,,, r,s,b.p. picture of a HOUSE sparrow [theve lost their habitat??] and at the bottom a bull finch, my goodness me , do they honestly expect people to beleive this tosh,, with the sparrow hawks at their highest level yet,,

it shouldnt have ,,vic,, strange?

the post was posted on novices,,,,,, by the original poster.. maybe your looking at wrong board ??

think maybe this is the one your thinking of vic,, its been on the board all the time????

wheres the block???

this is the simple truth regarding pigeons , having worked with a pigeon supplement firm ,, and seeing them collect £13.000 in one weekend , was truly amazed , especialy when the owner was mocking fanciers as" mugs" and of course laughing all the way to the bank, most of the so-called magic speed tubs were in fact glucose , bi-carb , based etc etc [off course with a lovely label and fancy name] allthough i know many top pigeon fanciers , i did note , that these fanciers never bought food for thought ive said this many times , the three c,s will never come from a bottle,,, condition, contentment and control only my opinion

nice pics,, the dog i had was a cross,,,,,, his mother was a cairn,,,, his father wasnt ;D ;D ;D

it seems youve made a good job in looking after the bird, sometimes at this time of the year,nature calls and the bird may well attempt for home,,for the sake of a mate,, who knows??,,but a big thanks to" old yellow " for re-arranging the ring number, so that hopefully the owner could let you know if it does return , [then again , you might just see it back at yours again ;D] either way,, all the best

hi jamie, i see your a fairly young lad,, my answer to your question is , you dont have to fly any so-called system,, your far better finding out as much as you can about pigeons, and pigeon methods,,,then after a few experiments, form a method or methods ,that suits you,, in pigeon racing there are many roads leading to rome,, the hardest bit is finding the right one ,, and if you aim to be a top flier, you will find one eventually keenness is a great thing for starters the rest will follow suit, with patience and learning very best of luck jamie
