OLDYELLOW

the thing is the insert board part is what there getting back out on if ets pad was underneath base then they couldnt exit , other option is steel rod with bobwires on

I can't believe this sport at times it does sod all to improve / help itself , with new goverment these fossils at hq could be in office forever , we have a manager thats not left the go space on the board im sure hes already eyed up the the bonus on square 2 and uncertain of reading rules before he goes , but im certain he wont be moving with the times nor implimenting any improvements

make a small wooden tray / box and slide ets into it all you need do is up trap a little higher so little draw fits under and base board sits on the tray/ draw

too many small concerns about thats what causes clashing which shouldnt happen with all the technology we have these days a simple site with live updates showing whos liberating ectra wouldnt take much to do but too many fossils walking with heads still working on a good chance lol

thanks for your kind efforts in trying to help this bird

It may leave once got iself right however if captured and contained can get full ring number we can help you locate the owner who may want it back it may have a stamp with phone number on its wing

its from Teeside if you catch it it may have a stamp on it's wing with telephone number in order to report it to its owner you have to get the full ring number and keep the bird contained

my sentiments , we may not have always agreed on things but weve managed to keep things friendly and agreed to disagree , however what friends don't fall out from time to time i wish you all the best whatever you decide

box up and starve fer 2 days water only and try on some light grub after to see if improves if you havent got a vet use the mobile one on wheels if no improvement blockage could be canker

I dont want to discourage you , im just saying if you introduce yourself first then the members of this site may help you , im sure theres at least two members on this site from Barnsley who may help , perhaps if we know a bit of background about your intrest we can then better help you with the knowledge of your means i.e someone with a car can drive to collect and so on , so i repeat Welcome to Pigeon Basics , would you like to introduce yourself

I use Uk Pigeon Couriers not the cheapest but thats reflected in there top quality service you certainly get what you pay for , i've found other cheaper couriers to be very poor in the service they've provided no boxes not turning up on time late delivery of birds

can be delivered in liquid nitrogen but expensive and im sure be cheaper to buy from local supermarkets big icecream makers deliver using refigerated / freezer vans

there are much cheaper ways such as mobile phone text or email

perhaps maybe worth while asking local clubs maybe a few old hands wanting a partner so they can stay in the sport or ask council for allotments in your area where you can keep birds either way good luck

Nice first post perhaps you would like to introduce yourself ? Welcome to Pigeon Basics

hope you enjoyed yersen whilst weve shivered lol

Nice to go on holiday and get away from it all shame you couldnt bring the sun back with ya , hope you had a great holiday did you go anywhere nice ?

not racing ybs as were to advanced in there moult before training will be breeding far later next season , i blame the high winds and hold overs for the advanced moult , so will be removing a few from the team and winter rest and will get plenty of training in to them next year , not had the best of weather or racing conditions this year , hope next years alot better , global warming just another way of getting us all to pay more tax had coldest winter 2 weeks you could call summer rest been a wash out , i think biggest factor has been weather related and bops , i also wonder what efects the solar flares have had on training in last few days ?

R.I.P

seems to me the biggest problem is treating blind with antibiotics , the gunk is probably hexamitiss ( canker ) or conjuntivitus ( excuses spelling ) or sat in a direct draught or respirity without seeing the bird / loft impossible to diagnose correctly , respirtry if you put you ear to back of bird you should be able to hear the lungs inflate deflate if crackly probably respirity but other loft factors maybe still an issue and certainly need to sort the rodent problem out , best way is to go to a vet and get a proper diagnoses , yearling dying could quite be a heart attack

Well Done Susan

get an old stocking slip bird in to and suspend the bird to top of a box with a cup hook ensure it can get to food and water and back end clear for toilet if need be splint leg with a small piece of hosepipe and tape it up

Welcome to Pigeon Basics we hope you enjoy the site

if you catch the bird it may have a stamp on its wing of owners phone number , open the wing up carefully

washing up liquid neat massage in and rinse off repeat if needed , wrap in tea towel on warm hot water bottle also they may have ingested some oil some charcoal tablets / clay pickstones to cleans them internaly
