OOPS JUST SEEN THE NATURAL RING ASWELL WHAT STRAIN ARE THEY, BANDIT

CRACKERS THOSE GRIZZLES AND WEARING THEIR NEW ETS LIFE RINGS ASWELL, ARE THEY FROM ANTWERP REGION PERHAPS, BANDIT

NICE ONE GER AND MARK WELLDONE, WE ALL HAD A GREAT DAY OUT ON SUNDAY ON HAYLEYS CHRISTENING, SO A GREAT BANKHOLIDAY WEEKEND WAS HAD BY ALL CHEERS BANDIT

VERY GOOD POSTS ROLAND, BUT ALAS WE WONT DO ANYTHING WE WILL LEAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL LEAVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE AND SO ON. BANDIT

no dought their is rspb members watching and id say maybe a few members on forum with some replys ive seen on this forum and others.theirs alot of talk but not much action going on, talk to councilors and your mp s and lobby them the legal route nothing the rspb can do about that. bandit

MICK I AGREE WITH YOU, IF WE FOR 1 OR 2 YEARS WE GAVE ALL THE MONEY RAISED THAT NORMALLY GOES TO CHARITY TO A SPIN DOCTER OR GOOD PR MAN WE WOULD ATLEAST BE TRYING TO FIGHT FOR OUR CAUSE, THE POLITIONS HAVE A SHORT MEMORY WHAT ABOUT ALL THE SERVICE MEN SAVED BY OUR GALANT BIRDS OR THE BLOOD SAMPLES BEING CARRIED BY PIGEONS TO HOSPITALS IN THE UK. WE SHOULD ALSO START A BREEDING PROGRAM FOR EAGLE OWLS AND GET THEM REALEASED INTO THE WILDS TO COMBAT THE PEREGRAINS . WE ALL DO A LOT OF TALKING BUT ITS TIME NOW TO ACT CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME OUR BIRDS HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE AND NOT BE MURDERED BY THESE KILLERS OF THE SKY. BANDIT

IN THE UK YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR HOME WITH REASONABLE FORCE, IF YOUR A FARMER YOU CAN SHOOT A PET DOG THAT IS CHASING YOUR SHEEP, YOU CAN TRAP A WILD CAT OR FOX AND BRING TO THE RSPCA TO DEAL WITH, BIRDS OF PREY IS DIFFERENT CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY, ILL DO WHAT I CAN TO PROTECT MY BIRDS IN AND ARROUND THE LOFT,THE RSPB PUT THESE BIRDS OF PREY INTO THE CITIES AND COUNTRYSIDE WITHOUT THINKING OF THE LONG TERM PROBLEMS, WHEN ALL THE SMALL BIRDS ARE GONE WHAT ARE THET GOING TO FEED THESE PREDATORS THEN, FOOD FOR THOUGHT . RSPB IS SUPPOSED TO STAND FOR ROYAL SOC PROTECTION OF BIRDS IT SHOULD BE CHANGED TO RSPP . BANDIT

23 OUT OF 28 SENT BIRDS DOING OVER 60 MPH, 2 OF THE BIRDS CAME BACK INJURED, BANDIT

REST IN PEASE TERENCE.

WELLDONE GER AND MARK ON ANOTHER GREAT WIN KEEP THEM COMMING BANDIT

I race the roland jannsenns pigeons and have won a few races with them, mine are all direct that i breed from and crossed them with other pigeons, louella buys the champions and then you pay your money and take your chance, dont forget louella is a stud farm for pigeons sells thousands of birds and breeds some winners, keep them healthy fit and if their anygood you will win with them. BANDIT

after a race i give my birds a training toss on the monday, if it was a tough race then one day later on tuesday, allways rember they got a long training toss on the saturday ie the race, i train them from 9 miles once they have started to race, BANDIT
