Vic On this you are correct and this is down to the low vels, but 99/100 you do not get that many low velocities that is why we dont really see this.

I will be going Gez YOU???

Gez I dont think it does it does seem mad but try it and see john

If anyone is interested the Shotton & District HS are holding their winter shows starting this Monday 30th October at Connahs Quay North Wales, startind with old and young hens (Two seperate classes) John

Guys the way I worked it out was convert the times into seconds then divide by 60 to get the time in minutes (as fractions of minutes). Then add all these together. Convert all the distances into yards and then divide by 60 to get distance in 60ths. then to get an average of all races divide time by distance and should come out as 1405.81 john

Great Flying Vic Hope the chequer hen can record a velocity like that next season John

I dont think this programme was intended for fanciers though Sean, being in the research field it has been an intriging phenomenom for many years. from the fanciers point of view the money could be better spent elsewhere but on a scientific view it has baffled scientists for years and they all want to be the first to crack it. Personally thought the programme was very good despite its downfalls. What I thought fascinating was the fact that the pigeons wanted to land on the other side of the river although they could not actually see the loft. john

will do that thanks john

Hi guys apart form the obvious ie get a dog. What is the best tried and tested method for keeping cats out of the garden John

I remember it being at the NEC, but have some pictures in an old pictorial of the Alex palace

"ANOTHER FIFE CHAEPSKATE WANTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING THAT WILL BE SOME DANCE YOU ARE ALL GOING TO NOBODY WILL WANT TO BUY ANYTHING" Hey Tammy, How much did the book cost you? ;D ;D

Tam Im forever reading and I could not put it down. There is even a character called Tam John

Hi I was fortunate to be given a copy of this book and must say it is an excellent read. If you enjoy a good book I suggest you get hold of a copy of this and read it. the story has everything and is about pigeons to boot. The Scottish contingent will enjoy this as it is set in Fife. The thing that most impressed me is the way Graham has set the book out to explain the pigeon racing set up to the non fancier, I truly believe any non fancier that reads this will definately be intrigued and maybe want to start up. Well done Graham excellent book. Anyone else read it John

The Buzzard has made a great reassurgance in the Uk was it brown? John

Karl Any microscope will connect up to a pc via usb. You buy an eyepiece that slots in place of the one on the microscope and the computer sees what you do John

Ben How you doing What would you put this down to? John

Thanks Mike Which E mail address you on tonight, and over the weekend John

John there are two ways you can do a crop flush dry or wet. Some people use a flexible tube about 7" long attached to a syringe and insert it down the canal (the one behind the tongue) and slowly draw the syringe back slightly and then put on slide. Or some put some saline water into the crop by same method and draw some of the fluid back and examine John

Tammy They do the same job but the quality is far superior as you can adjust the light accordingly to get a clearer picture John

ray sent you a pm re microscope Did you get it John

Tam It was just to point out the fact that no matter how much you pay for a microscope it is worth its weight John PS Roly will give you a call tonight

Wiley the ones I use Wiley are £2500 each and they are worth their money also John

Les If you can give us a ring later after the match John

i AM AFTER SOME FANCIERS COMPLETING A SHORT QUESTIONNAIRE ON THIS WOULD ANYONE BE WILLING TO HELP IF SO COULD YOU SEND ME YOUR E MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL FORWARD IT ON. IT IS ONLY SHORT AND SHOULD NOT TAKE TOO MUCH TIME JOHN

Would just like peoples thoughts on the services offered in the weekly papers for droppings tests. do you think i tis value for money, if not why. what would you consider a reasonable price to pay. what about the level of any other cover ie Vets or experts in Avian pathology. Would appreciate your thoughts. John
