hi gulkie, firstly i'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your fancier friend. Thanks for getting in touch. Sadly in this case if there's not much point in getting the bird home do you want me to try and get him housed locally? There are a few youngsters keep a few tumblers etc and with him being a white griz they might fancy him. If not and you want him back for sentimental reasons or whatever just let me know and we'll organise something. best regards, barnie

Someones White Grizzle SU13L4861 (with ETS) missus been trying to get him in all week just gone in right now. Tel 07870663779 Barnie in Durham......thanks

thanks for reply,please if you got his number you wouldn't mind ringing him would you?

Just picked it off aviary, SU 13DF 462. It's not bad fettle, not injured - wanting water more than anything. tel 01207 234889 Durham

The Lakeland x Border I had took a while to train with the birds. After a while I could totally trust her and she just walked among them in and out the loft. Thing was she was so unpredictable around ANYTHING else. Didn't matter if it was 4 times her size, what a handful but great around the allotment for ratting/chasing cats.

In my case it was from chickens in the allotment behind stock loft. Used a smoke bomb similar to this: http://www.regencypoultry.com/heathcare/redmite_and_Lice/fortefog_mini_fumer.htm got it from farm/agricultural outlet. Some types say it's safe to do with birds in the shed but mine went in baskets overnight. Certainly worked.

Now sorted, thank you

Handed to me this am, SU10L13075. Durham Area.

He was out of his depth here at Newcastle. I think the initial euphoria of his return to manage Liverpool lifted them a bit a first and got a few results but it's going wrong now. However we'll be forever thankful to Kenny for the £35m for Andy Carroll!!!!

Happy 18th birthday

Just look out for a second hand rabbit hutch and maybe make a few adjustments. www.adtrader.co.uk probably got lots now the kids that got rabbits for Xmas have lost interest in keeping them. Give it a good disinfect out though.

I used it for aviaries floor, had to watch out and keep underneath spotless as rats started to show up. This will give you guage sizes, i reckon 10 G or above as long as its on a decent wooden frame. http://www.dave-cushman.net/elect/wiregauge.html I've seen same idea using wooden slatted floor panels, looked tidy but not cheap.

As soon as I started road training they went on to 75% race mix 25% depurative. Usually kept to this until around the 3rd race when they were down the road a bit then full race mix. However if it was a bad start with the weather, hard days, cold with east winds for example then I'd beef the mix up a bit.

thanks folks, well the basket full off Pipa I had left plenty hints about never turned up.......but hey, she did get me some nice socks!

Happy Birthday to you.....(mine also).

Like yourself I had 6 LB's batched up and flying for @ half hour to 1 hour then 2 started coming back well after the rest. Before long all 6 were missing for hours and when I was out with the dogs one day I noticed them sitting on the rooftops on a nearby estate enjoying the sunshine. If you let them out when you're not at work then you see them return maybe around half hour after the rest possibly they are still flying, but my guess is they're sitting somewhere. I stopped mine sitting out by not feeding a.m. and only letting them out an hour before dark. Unfortunately they got YBS and I ended up with just a pair. Now this YBS was a week before Xmas so much for it being a summer disease. Good luck.

1st egg last night

Was thinking about this fair myself, apart from YB's on sale and bits n bobs, can you get larger stuff like Baskets etc? Are some of the studs there and larger suppliers like Boddy @ Ridewood, that type of thing? I know it's not on the scale of Blackpool just wondering if it's big enough to spend a full day there. Any info from those that's been appreciated, cheers.

Thanks for the welcome. Had 10 yrs out of pigeons, just having a bit dabble with a few racers at the moment. Looking forward to contributing to the forum, cheers...barnie
