totally agree with davy and freebird regardless of what type of bird it is it still gets to u when u hear them screaming out in pain/panic bop numbers are now totally out of hand and rising as we speak of course we will always have bops but they are everywhere now and as kev d says what kind of person stands there and films it happening kev ;D

sorry to hear about your birds i have lost birds myself to cats so know what a bloody nuisance they can be > u do tend to blame yourself afterwards wings as i did but unfortunately its done now mate u sound like a top bloke so try and keep your chin up im sure u would miss your birds if u gave up and they would lose a good home tomorrows another day when hopefully u will feel better all the best kev

sorry to see that pic thunderbirds what a bird to lose its got beyond a joke now with bops and ive also taken precautions like josh and done my bit but u have got to be so careful now as sure as night follows day nobody is gonna help us but ourselves

hi greenlands both of my older brothers are diabetic and one of them drinks diet coke so i will be sure to tell him thanks for posting this info kev

brilliant news would love to have seen ken hines face when he saw him sitting on the loft waiting to be let in hopefully a few more will be behind him kev

1st pic for me kev

i put a carrot and some cabbage in the blender with half a cup of water then tip that into the water of 2 four pint drinkers took em a while to get a taste for it but they drink it now no probs gives em lovely feathering kev

a couple of days ago i asked for info re ionisers as i was looking to buy one and had some replies which were very helpful and then david offered me an ioniser free of charge true to his word the ioniser,charger,and batteries arrived in the post today i offered to pay the post and packaging at least when i pm,d him but he even paid for that what a star thanks very much dave its very much appreciated kev

thanks ray

thanks for info everyone im having same problems as tony did but when i come out of the loft im left very short of breath i read about them a while back in bilcos write up but cant remember where he got his? thanks again kev ps ive sent you a pm david

does anyone know where i can get the ionisers that you hang round your neck when you are in the loft kev

well it seems that most of us have accepted the bop situation im only a novice but i can see that 5 ys down the line it will be too late

yeh the virkon s ive got states that its poisonous to cats also the ivermectin pour on ive got also states that it should not be applied to other species as severe reactions including fatalities may occur including dogs kev

i gotta take my hat off to you guys cos i dont know how i would cope being hit by peregrines on a regular basis its bad enough having to deal with sparrowhawks hitting my birds but then saying that we,ve got peregrines in brighton which the rspb put boxes up for a few years back > and brighton is only 20 miles south of me so prob wont be long b4 i see a peregrine as theyve been breeding there for a few years now and their young will prob be looking to find their own territories as most of you know they are nesting in london as well which is only 30 miles up the road from me, come to think of it where aint they now? the future looks bleak for us we all need to get our heads together re the bop problem and take some action but what? kev

thanks alf and your right about the site being as slow as a week in the jail but i wont go into that as i t was a long time ago kev

just got on after trying for ages and wot does P*** the noo mean :-/

absolutely no two ways about it

thanks for the link strapper as missed it on tv hopefully its not an organised gang that did this and some birds make there way home but the fact that they hit ken hines loft speaks volumes so they probably are planning to use them for breeding and to think that he spent 50 ys moulding his birds just so some scumbag(s) could break into his loft and take them these pigeon thefts and arson attacks are getting all too common nowadays if they ever get caught they need sorting the old school way not putting them before the local magistrates so they can have their wrist slapped your average person on the street doesnt understand the hard work/expense that fanciers put into building a decent team of pigeons all that work so somebody can reap the benefits by just thieving them it makes your blood boil > kev

sorry to hear that vinnie i know how you feel mate i had to have my german shepard monty put to sleep cos of bad hips and he was only nine but a very big heavy dog in the end he couldnt even stand up so it was the kindest thing to do :(i got a lump in my throat every time i saw his ball or blanket and like owen have never got another dog kev

i had a bird handed to me by a neighbour that was on its last legs i reported it and was told by its owner ( a very well known essex fancier) to feed it watered down banana through a syringe believe me when i say this bird was skin and bone sitting hunched up with its feathers blown and eyes closed and i fully expected it to be dead by the morning but within 2 days it was eating small seeds then corn and went on to make a full recovery since then ive used banana if any bird is that down/flown out and its always worked for me have any other fanciers used bananas or more to the point why do they seem to be so effective in bringing birds around? i know they are easily digestible which obviously helps but maybe they also have ingredients which helps them recover whats your thoughts

yet another attack on a fanciers pigeons > i can only imagine how these fanciers are feeling at this time these scumbags need to be taught a proper lesson and taken behind somewhere and sorted out the old school way and id be first in line > its the only way to deal with it -fight fire with fire and not let the courts deal with em and decide that the poor unfortunate souls only really need a holiday to get their lives back on track give em justice old style > kev

happy christmas and new year to all pb members from kev and deb (DJ) and good luck to all next year

sound advice that any novice would find invaluable kev

just finished my birds on a 7 day course of easi-cox and my birds look great now i had one cock bird passing blood in his dropping but he was fine after 3 days of treatment great stuff kev

what a lowlife > the poor dog dont look as if it would hurt a fly how could anyone do that to a dog? there has just been a cruelty case in my local paper where some scumbag left his staffy to die of starvation the rspca got into the house but they found the staff was already dead and starting to be eaten by maggots his excuse was that his wife and kid had left him and he couldnt cope but i bet he coped well enough to feed himself > people like this need to be punished old style with a good battering not being sent to see a psychiatrist to try and unravel their mind and find an excuse for what they did they are evil bxstxrds pure and simple >
