we've just been turned down for a 2nd time, reason given, no funds available! Now heard funds available again so ready to resubmit!

Find the site "awards for all", you can download an application form and submit it from there.

where in Berkshire are you? There are clubs in Reading, Windsor, Slough etc.

Good luck Mark and Clare

I agree, let them help and earn there time with the birds. If the birds are flying tell them "come and scrape out" by which time the birds will have had their fly and you can see them. It would be like serving an apprenticeship.

Martin will have to build another storey on the loft for the kids!

always nice to see. My kids love going into the lofts and playing with the youngsters.

just put the food down and when the first bird goes for a drink pick the food up.

Wickes are cheapest

they are teritorial and as soon as you get rid of one pair more move in. This is why larson's work so well with an out of area decoy.

removing magpies is legal. Best way is to get a larson trap and you'll catch them in no time!

i think pigeon pharmacy had a limited stock but not sure if they've run out again

looks like Derby bird is out for breakfast!

Another floor in your master plan is there are a lot of fanciers who keep birds for pleasure, don't race, are not members of clubs etc, who would check them and how would you suspend them? It is the non racing members that are prob keeping birds that may or may not belong to others! Also i have spoken to many bird rescue centres that have always got racing pigeons in aviary's belonging to members who can't be bothered to send for them, should these centres be closed down because the unions do very little to deal with the owners?

we do report them but under your scheme then nobody would even give a bird a few days of food and water before releasing a stray incase some official came knocking on there door!

And who is going to pay these officials time, fuel etc etc? Or would it just be another job for the overworked underpaid sec?

would make you want to bin them before they find a perch!

Still think in these times it pointless forming splinter groups!

It was "The National" until some (wnr)decided to pull out, but the WSEN is open to all

Craig, looks good! If you havn't already then cover your dowels with wire mesh as I have seen cats grab birds through dowels and attempt to drag the birds out!
