after getting my silver award winner jamie boy photo done and must say what a great job jim makes of it i will get my son paul to put it on basics next time he is down as i have not got a clue hope to be back at jim next year to get my wee hen jenna done if she gets silver as jim does a fantastic photo

just to set the record straight i called the sec first and asked how to go about claiming an award and was told how to proceed but im almost sure the sec said it then goes before the comittee

looking good andy well done to you and seona and all prize winners

when i clamed the silver award i had to send a letter to the sec with the birds performance section and open positions and year i then got a letter back from the sec telling me the bird had won the silver award

joint dinner dance and presention burnbank and lowaters pigeon clubs 28th of november always a great night looking forward to seeing jim get his trophies with our families and friends around us we will have a good night im sure

yes im sure it was ely m8 also had them from davenport but the newman birds were outstanding pigeons as you say powder blues some with white flights if only i new then what i know now lol

had some crackers as a youngman thirty odd years ago from a mr and mrs newman but to be honest i did not know what to do with them could get a wee turn in the club with them but in those days i needed a calender for the 5oo mile races i crossed mine with vandenbrookes spelling from wilson and mc shane from eastkilbride also cracking pigeons they also had cattrysse pigeons that flew well louella still has them im sure

cant speak for the new blood lines pal but the old aarden blood deff works for me but the new lines are cracking looking birds and must be worth a try good luck with them

happy birthday to you

happy birthday you guys

happy birthday graham aye it is lol

correct tam

not vaccinating your birds would not stop you from getting it from someone who has but why was there no ybs before vaccination started thats what makes me think theres a conection somewhere but like everyone else its only an opinion peter no one knows the cause but at least my theory would make sence does anyone else think they know the cause if so lets hear it maybe someone will crack it

think i have put as much time and thought into this problem as anyone we dont know the cause or the cure but i agree with dell that its a virus and also agree that many fanciers dont know they have it in the early stages only that they are not winning and losing yb in training and racing and also the vets and so called experts dont know what it is or what cures it but will gladly take your money if your going to get it you will get it no matter how carefull you are or how good a fancier you think you are my personal opinion is that ybs is man made and is a mutation from paramixo or the paramixo vaccine as before we were forced by law to vaccinate there was no such thing as yb sickness the best you can do is have something in the water to help keep it from spreading through the loft and treating for the secondary infections which can follow if not spotted early and hope that you have the mild form which will improve after two or three weeks the strong yb will shake it off while the weakest will get worse and should be put down imo but with ybs everyone has there valid points on the subject because like i said at the start no fancier and none of the experts know the cause or the cure

well i dont know about that joe jim and i went out to the pub to hear his daughter karen sing i had about five pints and ive never felt better painted kitchen and toilet painted all the lofts scrubbed all my nest fronts and boxes with hot water and bleech painted the fence and gate hovered the house and done the washing helen says ive to start drinking again lol think i must have flushed a kidney stone been feeling great since so a wee drink now and then might be a good thing pal
