I think we have all lost family or friends to this horrible desease and when we have seen the good work hospices, Macmillans nurses etc do on a very tight budget it is nice to be able to do something to help others in there hour of need.

If you only have a small team and has already shown is can produce then stop him, so many times you hear fanciers say they sent a bird 1 to many times!
just need to ask yourself some question.
how well has he scored?
has he bred anything of significance?
can he be replaced, do you have his parents?
have you other birds doing equaly as well?
