you can all advise him to give it what ever junk you like but if the bird has never fed itself since weaning then whats the point, whatever you prop it up with won't make it eat!

If the symptems are different this time do you know you had para the first time? Did you have any tested or was it a guess?

has it ever fed itself?

There are much better run dogs homes than the RSPCA! I wouldn't pi** in there tins, if you need there help you don't get it, if they can get publicity from something they are there in a shot!

Boddy's were still advertising them but think there is a manufacturer in Germany for them, the original 15"sq not the 13" plastic coateds!

great little birds!

like these?

SWW Swindon on Sunday

I've only seen the 1 red grizzle though!

can we asume gimp is a fully paid up member!

Where abouts are you and do you have any pictures of the bird to enable us to identify it and help you reunite it with its owner?

Alternatively, don't leave the sputnik open!

If you contact the American Pigeon Union they will be able to tell you and put you in contact with the owner.

there is a teacher in the area but he keeps fancy pigeons. I have a feeling he is retired, it could be an ideal candidate!

Hope they do well for you!

wonder where he is now ;)

First 2 pics are a nest pair from "The Golden Queen" and 3rd pic are a pair of youngsters from the cockbird.

you can get 1ltr bottles from most farm supplies. We got a bottle and split it between 10 club members and shared to cost making it very economical.

Def some very good reds and mealy buschaerts around but you mentioned at the begining having red grizzles which i'm not familiar with! What lines are they?

Reds, mealy's and the odd strawberry.

Been teaching for 4yrs now but only part time, not interested in paying silly franchise fees and being on the road 24/7. Also took over another business at the beginning of the year which is eating time at the moment but hopefully can retire again soon.

Follow the forecasts carefully, split the team 60/40, send the biggest team on wed and keep the rest for sat, if they have an easy race, with good returns you can if you wish send a few of them sat again with the 40% you held back. Leave your options open but if in doughbt leave them out!

yep

red grizzle buschaerts :-/

i know what you mean Pete, I just love the pupils that think they are ready for there test after 1 lesson!
