OLDYELLOW

There is already a body that probably needs more backing it's S.O.S save our song birds , simple things like hedges ( hawthorn been best )been planted instead of fences and brick walls , will encourage more song birds , having moved from one area to another in same estate the amount of song birds where hedges are present is nearly treble. I know this is not going to solve the rapter problem but more song birds that are easier to catch and carry , would reduce the number of pigeons killed , and perhaps the return of the eagle owl would help but not all these preditors live in wooded areas , and perhaps the thread should be renamed to add 'Song' as in song birds as it would cover the very rapters you wish to control to safe numbers

sometimes i start to write a reply , then i delete it all , the reason for it sometimes is i have vented my frustrations , and then thought about it , then questioned it , if you reply to a bad response then you are encouraging them to respond further, if you simply ignore and respond to the previous thread and report the bad response then there response hasn't got an audience and the thread will continue as normal.

well looks like he couldnt pass it on to the sports council , i supose as we arent a sport we arent a buisness so perhaps he could take back the taxs demands off us at the same time

welll at end of season be silly season you'l have more work than you need

Welcome to Pigeon Basics enjoy the site Abbey and well done on the stray repatriation keep up the good work

very true i bet a few have had a little cross in them or would be to inbred , the one i handled last was just like the originals , was a cock so i dint buy it regreted it after

only disadvantage is to birds nearest to the exhaust fumes

I understand the frustration of people just using the site to sell pigeons and not giving the site any usefull input as most of us do without the need to sell pigeons, i have on occasions not agreed with some postings however i have not dragged the the debate down by insults or anything like that. As for slating any novice because they havent won a race , that is completely wrong , we need to encourage new blood in to the sport and support them with advice , and if this fanciers is so good at winning perhaps he could donate a few birds and offer some mentoring , and help rather than belittling others . Some people just feel empowered behind a keyboard sad but true , and feel the need to belittle to make themselves feel more superior , than there pecking order in the real world. Smile lifes too short , perhaps if you pass a smile on then we'd have a happy site ;D ;D ;D ;D

well i new what he was up to

yup thats how you do a thread

well hes no problem at starting a topic so hes halfway there

welcome to the site

i'd rather pay a bit more to have the quality myself but you have to buy to the size of your pocket

i agree racer some posted comments could be sent via pms , perhaps if we policed the site better then this could be avoided , and if theres comments said then refrain from using a thread to answer so the thread doesnt loose any content thats usefull or apt , when deleted

whats the definition of a bad member ? many racing pigeon men , will view things differently , and boths views can be at opposite ends of the spectrum and both fanciers could be good fanciers just because opinions differ doesnt make them bad , all fanciers are doing is offering there methods , but you need to use methods that suit you and the time you have and your birds

cheers , selling birds and selling birds on site both same threads and many more that could use same headlines and threads

Why do people need to start another post with a similar title to one thats running ? 2 posts same thing , is it the feeling they have missed to oppertunity to be 1st to post and the fullifllment cant be met by posting on the same board?

very unfortunate but rules are rules , you should always keep a copy of vaccination certificate just incase your in more than one club and if are transfering stray ybs then you can send a copy of its vaccination so new owner can race once transfered , and give them it 2 weeks before the 1st race.

Dordins good honesty tough feathered strong and reliable birds shame there French
