micko and jack

the price for me wasnt a big thing check my post asking for indians seeing Jack happy with birds he can handle was important for me in a roundabout way and if you read the post after mine what i would consider a good bird something multi-coloured Jack can lift hand-feed and follows him around the yard haha i consider that a GREAT bird because thats what i want show /fancy breeder may tell you THATS WOULDNT MEET THE SHOW STANDARD each to their own they meet my standards and needs micko

I have been following a few threads (as we all should) re; lice mites and there several different theories on dealing with them A garlic in drinkers B garlic in bath water C cider vinegar in drinkers D cider vinegar in bath E table salt in bath F malt vinegar in bath G potassium permanganate in bath now I have done a goggle search on them and poultry sites say potassium permanganate but none say the DOSE to use likewise some who took time to post THEIR theories never posted doses and this is the information we really need to know maybe you use a combination of some of the above let us know micko

CHAIRDE (FRIENDS) I have followed this thread and some very fair comments about dealers fancy/show breeders homers tipplers and culling and do you know what I think you are all RIGHT I started a loft for my grandson now age 20 months Jack loves his fantails garden and Indian they are all colours and if they happen to inter-breed so what Jack likes them and that's whats IMPORTANT TO ME our Indians may or may not be show quality we don't care Jack arrives at my home each morning grandda grandda I'm taken by the hand and out to the loft you cant say to a child like Jack at his age keep looking in the sky that wee dot is your tipplers or your homers will be coming soon if when older if he wants tipplers homers or any other breed he'll get them likewise to the fancy/show breeder anything below standard gets culled let me tell you of a friend of mine lives in Belfast keeps homers and that's his thing went on holiday and asked his brother to look after his birds long story cut short I asked his brother why he killed 47 of his brothers birds his reply Mick when a bomb went of in town you seen birds flying everywhere when I slammed the door on that loft any bird that never left its perch you wont win races with them I wrong their necks now I read treads about homers and going by some members say young birds that may not show a lot in their first year sometimes come good and winners as older birds likewise some starting of needing their young birds as breeding stock and go on to win with their young the next year a bit of food for thought I think micko

hope both mother and baby are doing well micko

i worried about what Micks wife has to say a VERY VERY understanding lady how does she put up with it

ahhh now dont be like that it got the job done if anyone one in england is interested in one of these FINE cases send me a check and i'll arrange collection at your LOCAL TESCO/ASDA MICK LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE CRACKED IT A NICE EARNER

here Mick your really keyed in on the Muppets some may go as far fixated something you want to share with the group or maybe you need to talk to Old Yellow in private sounds to me like you need help I mean who would send birds to Ireland in a box like this then PM me to saying me keep me that hamper

any chance some of you could post your views on this could do with the help thanks mick

i dont know 1 thing about moulting but my birds are loosing feathers like mad but they look ok for it and maybe its just me but i think this years young birds are changing colour some of the darker birds are becoming i bit lighter i could be wrong or is that the norm or do young birds not moult mick

hi chairde (friends) I have a question gangster sent me 3 pair of Indians jack the grandson thought he would throw a black hen out the door leaving an Indian cock spare now I have 3 hens very nice garden fantails who have chicks roughly 14 / 18 days old and their cocks are trying to mount them again can I put each of those hens into an empty nest-box with the spare Indian cock and then return them to there own cocks if so how do I do it A lock the hens into their nest box at night and the cocks during the day and stick the hens in turn into the nest box with the Indian cock if so how long should I leave the hen in the nest box B release the hens into the loft during the day and just let the Indian COCKS out C cant be done D if it can be done how do I manage it and at what age should the chicks be when the hens are ready to mate again thanks mo chairde slan mick

chairde (friends) while checking the news tonight i came across this i personaly dont know the person this happened to maybe someone over here in Ireland may know this poor fancier if this happened to me like yourself i would gutted more than gutted but it would be great if WE on this site could help i dont know if this fancier will get back into pigeons or not but i do know that after reading this the members WILL want to help please read this link micko http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7515367.stm

gangster i know you sent the birds and we are really really greatfull but the last thing you said to me was KEEP ME THE BOX tell you what mo chara ask young Micky to run down the corner shop and ask for a new one they even give them away for free here in Ireland i did try to save your one but personaly i dont think you'll be transporting to many more birds in this mick

CHAIRDE (friends) I have something to contribute and I have an idea what's going on here firstly if you have read my post entitled A TRIBUTE TO GANGSTER last Friday Mick sent jack and me 3 pair Indians very very nice birds any way I haven't been to well lately and after being out last night and not getting in until about 8 this morning it was more or less the first I have see the birds in days my daughter and jack have been looking after them well I have one pair that laid their first egg today and another pair sitting on 4 eggs yes FOUR eggs Mick are you sure they are pigeons and not silky bantams now come on what's happening here now hears the SCEAL ( story) as I THINK it happened a chara (a friend) from Scotland who shall remain nameless ( a theres no point telling half a story so here goes ) Celtic was sending a PM to Mick a few weeks ago and it was sent to me by mistake Celtic was saying he was going on holiday to Spain just him and the wife a second honeymoon of sorts but Celtic was HAVING A WEE PROBLEM IN THE DOWNSTAIRS DEPARTMENT there's really no need to be going into the gory details I was near crying when I read it but he was asking Mick if he could get him some blue diamond tablet for the holiday and just how he knew this i dont know but said a friend of his wings 04 was having the same problem and could Mick help him out Mick must have contacts everywhere so I forward the PM to Mick now Mick was under a lot of pressure looking and moving birds and young Micky to but I don't think Micky was involved in this now given the start of my contribution and one pair sitting on 4 egg if in fact they are pigeons and NOT CHICKENS ( AND MICK WILL NEED TO COME BACK ON THIS ) then instead of feeding my birds vitamins and remember Mick had to keep my birds a few weeks he mixed the pigeon vits up with the blue tablets hence the 4 eggs now what I would like to know from Celtic and Wings DID YOUR WIVES NOTICE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR PERFORMANCES AFTER THE PIGEON VITAMINS ??? and what's going on with you guys in the post tribute to gangster you guys were using special code like the 3 stooges and halos and looking to see if you could get blue tables from Mick to help you with your WEE PROBLEM at work guys used to read aloud stories from the daily sport not a rag I'm proud to say I have never even lifted but I use to wonder were those stories came from maybe forms like this one but mo chara (my friend) gangster is in the clear on this one i even heard Mick being refered to to as THE STALLION slan Mick

O.M.G there's me singing gangsters praises and now Celtic and Wings have everyone telling lies the 3 stooges never had halos TEIGH I DTIGH DIABHAIL GO TO THE DEVILS HOUSE don't worry Micheal mo chara Michael my friend i'll watch out for you and micky well micky anyway micko

a chairde (friends) just reading over some of the comments about Mick I was thinking and I have never meet Mick in person but all the dealings about the Indians were made by PM or phone call so this may be causing just a bit of embarrassment if it is Mick sorry but sometimes you just have to give credit where credits due and by the comments of others you deserve that credit and not just from jack and me Mick

ahhhhhhhh now dont be like that jack does his fair share like getting grandda the bucket after scraping out and to be honest most times the trouble is getting the scraper of him ( FOR THE BIRDS AND MY SAFETY HAHA) mick

when the birds are settled a bit longer i'll post pics of them and you will all get to see HOW GREAT THEY LOOK could not be happier and from the comments of others a lot of us think micks a great friend now some are worried about mick living to the hundred so mo chara (my friend) GO MAIRE TU (MAY YOU LIVE LONG) now this next photo i wasnt to sure to post it or not according to Celtic all Scots homer PERSONS strike this pose while checking their birds or was it mick stands like that scratching his belly after a feed checking his birds im not sure so duncain or even some of you Scots ladies fanciers if you have any comments on this please direct them to Celtic not me im only giving the sceal (story) mick ps duncain thanks for the comment on jack but here if jacks a cute (and i agree with you haha) you want to see his sister born 8 weeks ago and when jacks feeding the birds on the ground weres the baby in granddas arms watching jack and his fantails who said pigeons are a dying sport only if YOU let it mick

HAVING A GOOD LOOK

the BOSS-MAN Jack checking his new stock thanks to MICK and MICKY

a chairde (friends) a few months ago I posted a thread in the for sale/wanted section looking Indian fantails and remember we are in Belfast no replies and to be honest it p..sed me of a bit a few nights later I had the nasty head on (we ALL get that way sometimes) and posted another thread remarking that no one posted a reply and I said I'm not looking the birds for nothing I'll pay for them after that I must have ruffled a few feathers a few people came back saying they had been helped by other members for free I was contacted by Celtic and by GANGSTER Mick took the time to explain that I was looking Indians at the wrong time I thought to myself in the middle of breeding season the wrong time what was this guy on about but Mick explained no show fancier is going to maybe sale/give away a potential winner and not to worry once Indians became available he would get me and jack the grandson sorted easy talk at the other end of a key board 2 weeks ago old yellow posted Indians for sale I never even seen it until late on Mick got in there straight away and got 3 pair for jack looked after them until he could get them over to Belfast Thursday night I got a call from Mick collect your birds tomorrow Friday and all they cost me was the price of delivery Mick NAR LAGAI DIA DO LAMH (MAY GOD NOT WEAKEN YOUR HAND) ahhhhhhhhh enough of this we all know who the brains of the gangster outfit is MICKY MICKY GO RAIBH MAITH AGAT (MICKY THANK YOU) (why deal with the monkey when you can deal with the organ grinder MICKY) as I'm sure it was you who kept that ole lad on track the cocks were a bit rough for wear and had to go into the washing machine then the tumble dryer the hens are still in the beauty parlour only joking GREAT BIRDS AND GREAT FRIENDS REALLY DELIGHTED and for Mick Micheal Fear dá fhocal é (MICHAEL A MAN OF HIS WORD) and ANYONE who has dealings with Mick could NOT deny it MICHEAL GO DTE TU AN CEAD (MICHAEL MAY YOU LIVE TO BE THE HUNDRED) SLAN GO FOILL (GOODBYE FOR NOW) Mick and grandson Jack
