R.P.R.A rules state that every bird clocked in deserves a velocity , even if not club rules

it starts with one pigeon then the bug bites ya and your hooked its better than drugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , you'l be racing in 5 years , if you can pm your address im sure i can put you in touch with a local club member that can help advise you regards sex of bird and what you need and perhaps get a friend for your new bird , but rember you need to get the original owner to transfer it to your name .

firstly the owner has to collect or arrange collection of there birds , its a R.P.R.A rule , if they dont report them to the R.P.R.A , they will then arrange collection to them and send bird to the owner at the owners cost so will cost the owner twice as much. The pigeon will need a shelter from the eliments in a ventilated shed / loft , that is cat proof with a trap , this is so can control letting it out and in . A large aviary is not an ideal home for a pigeon all year round in U.K . As for what to build depend on what you have in mind , are you going to race or keep a few pigeons ? have a read of pigeon in my kitchen thread

here goes and a good preventative measure , add a teaspoon of cinamon and a knode of grated root ginger and garlic and carrot juice in water once a month i aint had yb sickness for 8 years and you'l get shinny necks to boot as well ( even on your natural birds ). The other treatment is garden lime in a bucket of water and feed them the water from the top add the above ingredients as well.Yoghurt on the corn is good as well, 1/3of a pot of live natural yoghurt with a days feed add a citrus fruit and brewers yeast . Canker is the main cause to infection keep this down and you'l be half way to solving the battle.

Good luck and i hope you have many happy times together

you did what you could , and i'd like to thank you on behalf of the owner , shame was one of the unhappy endings try reading the pigeon in my kitchen thread , that story has a happy ending well the storys never ending

bird was in a very bad way i did put in loft and clearly had a broken leg and hadnt eaten or drunk for a very long time , i reported it to a mr Featherstone of Filey , many thanks for you helping this pigeon .

if you open the wing up it may have a stamp with a phone number on if not i have sent my address via pm ( right hand top of forum page click on pm ) so you can drop it off

i hope they work back for you , bad 1st year for you many good fanciers have lost as many if not more.

f is probably a filey ring where are you im at Scarborough

i hate short beaked birds dam ugly , i like rollers / kormourners , as i like to see birds that fly rather than walk about.

also could divide club baskets into locations i.e 4 lofts next to each other ectra but once there among a few thousand i bet they cant keep together that easily

theres loads of reasons why birds of one fancier cant be put in one basket : 1) basket might not open with rest 2) basket might get damaged and escape, race over if in one 3) easier to cheat I can see the benifts also i.e not in with birds that arent been looked after from a poor perfoming loft , but my advise is to help them and then reduce the risk by pointing them in the right direction

just use photobucket easy to use no download , even i have used it

anyone whos seen this disease knows what it looks like the vet in question obviously has not seen this disease before and i agree has treated blind , and precribed a broadspectrum antibiotic that has no effect on this disease whatsoever , id pay them a visit with these findings if were me , i use a hygene labority vet who specialises in Avian and does tests on all lifestock goverment approved as well i believe

disinfecting a loft with infected birds is useless unless the birds are culled

they clearly have paramixo virus they need destroying , no good injecting them now as they already have it and you cant inject un healthy birds . There is no cure for paramixovirus just a preventative via injection , its too late for your birds , cull disinfect loft and start again , and get birds injected asap when young

nice looking birds

Gust Hofkens has Janssen pigeons theres no other Gus janssen on the internet
