put a spoon of milk in the drinkers and chit some wheat for ravoflavin.

i asume when you say boxed up they are paired? After this time they should be on eggs, if not they may be suffering a calcium defficiency or another underlying problem! Phil

when you join Carterton Mike, they order country wide in bulk and the members buy at cost, a great idea if the clubs got room to store it. Phil

how much do they charge for delivery Mike?

with all those carp i'd better bring the fishing rod next time! Nice pics Chris

hope you don't have to give them up Ted or I won't get to try those youngsters next year! Health must come first, good luck with whatever you decide. Phil

happy Christmas and keep up the good work in 2009! Phil

merry christmas David and crew Phil, Vicki & kids

any of the ideas, wood or tubeing works by making the hole smaller although eventualy some will master a new technic. Best to keep the holes covered when the birds are in, not only prevents escape but also prevents cats etc from being able to enter.

Congratulations to you both! Thats a releif as well Chris, Charlotte will be home to cook Christmas lunch ;D ;D

now now Mark, you know you can't have to much excitment in one day, winning poll and a young lady!

it sad to see the farce this became and i refused to vote, nothing personal but because of the situation! Well done Mark, i know you'll do the right thing with your prize! Phil

DavidL, now we have got the details of the vendor/conn man the only thing omitted from the story is who the courier was! They should be named and shamed as well! Phil

well done bigda, you've got a cracker

fantastic, shows how we can pull together!

i've got a son of the cock you refer to Chris you can borrow and share the youngsters!!

i wouldn't touch anything on bird trader, there are a lot of scams conducted through that site as well as being charged premium rate when you ring to make an enquiry!

its to late now but nobody should place a vote in protest! This is suposed to be friendly site but there are clearly becoming to many personality clashes, so where are the admins input to this problem or have they all got jobs with the RPRA?

they also won't be the same colour now they've moulted! Any upto date pics?

I have to bath some in the loft but place the bath on fresh dry shavings and then when they have finished empty the bath outside and sweep up the shavings, that way the floor stays dry.

im not convinced about the PDSA, its ok if you register incase you need them but in most cases when people need help its not there! My parents, both pensioners had one of there dogs hit by a car about a month ago on a saturday, they took it to there own vet who put it in plaster until they could look at it proporly on the monday. I sugested my parents ring the PDSA, they did to get an answer phone message saying in case of an emergancy ring you local vet and the offices would be open again on monday! On the monday parents rang the PDSA and were told that they would be eligable for help but needed to register before the dog had its accident! Great help, i don't think and a vets bill over £1000! Phil

I hope everybody gets what they are hopeing for in there stockings! ;)

tobaco stalks, wheat straw but never hay! The other ideal nest material is dried lavender stalks which also give the loft a fresh scent! Phil
