OLDYELLOW

had a good day at Brid shame the turn out wasent too good not many stalls some quality birds there

nice birds

should ask them what happened to the other £3 GRAND THEY OWE YA LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

saw some nice ones at Brid

hi ho hi ho its off to Brid i go , catch you later folks

i agree i normaly like yearling to 420 miles , i sent to 524 miles as had no two year olds , when you have limited loft space if they cant do it they shouldnt be there

i have to agree with paramixo been ineffective the reason for this is overdosing and exposing the bird to it on a on going bases which in itself creates resistant strains so what is needed is where outbreaks have taken place is to issolate it and create a new vaccine rather than continue with a vaccine that doesnt work

then surely this says the vaccination is been abused no wonder lofts are getting super strains of resistant paromixo virus vaccine as there been allowed to get more stronger via exposure to the vaccine

then surely rather than expose birds unnessary to live bacteria which they shed exposing more birds to said virus is counter productive is it not ? so my money would be lab testing where they have the facilitys , as you said you dont have the facilitys to see what treatments are spectrum specific to the ailment given , you might know which ailment but the correct treatment is where the vet comes in as can drop on the petry dish and see what has the best effect on the ailment

still not happy about the paromixo thing and vacinate twice ? soilders have been campaigning for years about the cocktail of drugs they got before going to the gulf war causing serious illness sickness ectra so not all vaccinations are good Paramixo should be done annualy by the rules of the unions , if was done properly no birds would be missed ? as for paratyphoid its certainly not a requirement to treat for this as yet and what do you use live vaccine or dead vaccine ? it's been said only the live vaccine is effective but they will shed the live parathyphoid and expose more birds needlessly :-/ surely if have a microscope then quite easily to test all pigeons on a daily bases

salt has been used for 1,000's of years to treat ailments wounds , why well because treated meat ( salted meat ) would keep longer and be preserved from bacteria via the salt so i can see the reasoning for the bicarb of soda , if you want to read about salts effects on the pigeon theres an article and compares a fasting pigeon with a mallard very intresting indeed

i think he was refering to your treating for paramixo and paratyphoid twice a year surely why treat blind cant you get it off your microscope ????? and why twice when paramixo only need doing yearly ?

i've had them before nice enough to look at boring to watch fly lol or loft to floor hop

must of been capuchines you had then lol

here is a nun on a bike ok heres a proper nun : without frill :

?

must be spider pigeons the can hang on there sides no problem

no definately no nuns there so you could say theres nun lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

all shows should get licences from there unions then there'd be no clashing , then unions should agree to hold theres at different times job done , it's a case of the tail wagging the dog alot could be done to improve this sport but it will never happen , as long as R.P.R.A allow everything and have no infrastructure be more of same splinter clubs and feds , just so next doors loft wins lol ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i'm sure he has

Brid was on same time as NEHU last year tho

and NEHU show i believes this weekend aint it ?

just to the left hand side of the letter ' a ' please take your caplock off please it's classed as shouting , many thanks Mark

i forgot shes the brains of the outfit ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

we'll drink a few beers for ya ;D ;D ;D ;D
