not mine :'( :'(

Every club has "stick in the muds", and that will never change. There will also be fanciers still winning with there faithful old windup, surely this is what the sports all about, good birds, good management and pleasure from seeing the birds come!

No, thats not what I said but many that can't fly a kite think ets will make them winners or the winners have another advantage instead of looking in the mirror and seeing why they aren't winning!

there is no need, its just the anti ets brigade trying to think of another way to move there crap birds up the sheet! If you are a winner you will win whatever the system, if you are always behind you will still be behind!

sending letters will just stir up the anti's again! Even if a prop is put forward it won't get passed!

some will never give up trying to fight ets Owen! As you say stick in the muds, but thats what you'd expect from Region!

it will never happen! Some clubs have come unstuck trying things like this with domestic rules.

like the 2nd bird Jimmy

i'll send for 1 and 3 tomorrow ;)

For those who had the pleasure of knowing Pat Pratt within the pigeon world, mainly through his involvement with fancy pigeons I am sad to report that he lost his battle against cancer yesterday. Rest in peace old friend and thoughts are with Jenny, Kevin & Robin.

Yes, they do get street wise.

i've heard thats his favourite, if he keeps wearing it on all his loft visits he's hopeing they'll feel sorry for him and give him some more birds! ;D ;D ;D

I wouldn't have them on open hole! If there are other fanciers on the allotments will they be happy with your birds floating around all day? If you have pfl then an airie loft will help but why not make your left so you can just drive the birds into a basket to reduce contact? It will be very difficult to make the loft secure.

nobody would buy it! If you opened your chips and had gangster looking up at you it would put you right of your food ;D ;D ;D

Mick Hession in the BHW 3 weeks running ;D ;D ;D

I think youngbirds often suffer 1st time over the water. They see the channel and follow the coast up and down not wanting to cross!

are they the yellow lumps? We also put them in the dogs water to help cool the blood when its hot!

i've found plastic eggs in all sorts of strange places when left out and can only ever put it down to magpies!

Will be interesting to hear what the vet has to say when you tell them its been confirmed by DEFRA!

Prob is Andy, will DEFRA trace the batch and check or put it down to the birds not being vaccinated correctly?

any like 3 bin asap

You need to report it to DEFRA who will confirm it if thats the case and you will have to keep the birds confined.

think paramyxo as we first knew it has changed!

well done

Anto, do you have any info on where the birds originate from etc please and pics would be nice. Vanreets, showracers will fly but most who keep show racers keep them in to prevent damage and loss.
