i've not tried it but as far as I know its just a mix of small seed so no reason they shouldn't eat it!

lol

looks more like a gull!

A lot seem to be swearing by Gerry plus and then adding protien as the races get longer, but I would just go with a good youngbird mix. If they start flying less then lighten it with either some depurative or barley. Phil

prob is then frank you have the opposite problem, the birds a sat in a nice cool air conditioned transporter, strings are cut and they fly out into the full heat of the sun and hot air!

let them out and kick a football amongst them, they'll soon learn to fly!

just think about the heat the birds fly in for the south africa one loft race, the birds are very adaptable and can control there body temp. Phil

put the air conn on!

he is looking for her and that maybe why he's gone off a couple of times. You could put another hen in for him to help hold him to the loft but if you did I would cut its flights so that Bluey and junior can keep going out without risk of the hen flying away. Phil

lol Rose, what make is it? My old neighbour works for hozelok! Phil

Wel done to all who had birds. Have the MNFC liberated?

the best way to keep algie away is a good filtration system with UV treatment.

def perspex front doors, what you can see are the alloy dowels at the back where the drinkers go.

no, just fungal infections on the fish

i'll have to ask if they still have the recipe, last time i saw it it was written on a piece of paper as old as they are! Phil

What do you expect Merlin?

parents and grandparents used to make up a gallon of solution from crystals and then dilute it in the drinkers. The birds wattles always gleamed white, never any respiritory etc either. Phil

put crates in backwards and the birds can't get to the drinker system and would somebody want to be messing around changing crates about, hard enough to get some convoyers to water the birds let alone move crates! Phil

I realy do hope a story is written about this experience as it would be some of the best publicity the sport will have even received! Phil

there seems plenty of air while the trailers moving but if stood for anytime with a still day and perspex sides in the sun they will cook and it needs some kind of electric fan ventilation. Phil

you may well laugh now, but we'll see!

Photobucket is easy if you don't have anything on your pc already. Most programmes that you use to download your pics to your pc have a resize/edit facility! Phil

South West Wales birds @ Swindon up at 7.45

I like the Owls apart from the Africans, not natural being unable to feed there own young! They all have a fantastic temprement especialy for anybody new to have a go with. Phil

Sure David will be looking for a proper loft within a couple of years and have a go at racing! Phil
