yup i read the birdage on the up north combine definately an area where pigeons are ingrained and wont die , thats looking at there birdage at present , and i cant seem to think i need to exit any board or passport control to get there

if new prospective pigeon racers read all this doom and gloom that will be enough for them not to invest in a new pigeon loft and birds to put in it , as for there not been many pigeon fliers in an area it will continue just clubs boundarys either have to open up or just die a death , if it came to a point that i was the last loft standing no competion and no way of increasing membership i'd be the first to move into an area where i could compete

wonder if there's an eagle owl hire in your area

aye but a lots of small couriers could start there own networks up , and help each other out

cheers tim hope you have a good race

Who are S.P.D.S ? If you gave AMDeliverys there contact information surely they could work something out between them , and cover the parts the other doesn't

01530 242255 Louella's number strike while the irons hot , anyone got Frank Sheaders number to give

Yes i can see it now blue blazer on a few select courier services and a old boys dinner to raily the troops , i kinda think not

i can rembering him talking about sending birds by railway and birds getting released at end of a platform or unused railway line

surely AMDelivery will be nation wide now , ,the markets open , or ill get my pushbike out wonder if can get a rikshaw off ebay no petrol then

im not that old but my great uncle used to train his birds on the railway

interlink never liked carrying birds but i prefered them , wouldnt mind amtack had a newly designed tougher box wonder how much the creditors will sell them for ?

good news for AMDeliverys if amtrak goes bust think of the revenue and can put a tender in for Louella pigeon world , you'l be quids in fer sure

aint supprised with the price of petrol , looks like we need the other firms even more now eh

i wouldnt personaly go out and kill magpies as im a bird lover , but farmers see them as vermin also crows tend to peck the eyes out of new born baby lambs at lambing time , hence farmers used to shoot the crows and pin them to the fence they have a lively hood with chicks from chickens ectra to protect havent they ? same as the fox lovely to see but they make a mess if they get in a chicken shed , and its usualy older less fit foxes that do this because they cant catch the natural prey like rabbits as they get older.

i have whites in my birds only lost one around loft and other 2 still been raced , pigeons will win in every colour no doubt about it

point is if there that obvious in the sky there easy prey for hawks

very true , but it does glow in the sunshine like a beacon

the cock bird looks class , not too keen on the colour tho

magpies are clased as vermin , and like most carion they raid song birds nest and eat there eggs and young if they can get to the nest

Busheart cant spell it , too big for Logans , possibility could be Delbar or Sion

bushrats id say , last picture the cock looks like one
