HI,would like to make an offer on a bird what do I do.....

YOU CAN READ ABOUT JOCK ELLIS,WELLBANK,SCOTLAND ON ELIMAR WEBSITE

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THERE IS A RELUCTANCE TO LET FANCIERS KNOW THE BREEDING PARTICULARS OR PRICE OF BIRDS FOR SALE.....

I would question that you are not at your loft each morning at04-30.

there could not be a better example of what is happening to our sport....310.000 euros for a pigeon one year old only ever flown just over 100 miles per race,entered in around seven y/b races.....guess what ? never won any....I rest my case,and save my money. makes you wonder what value would you put on Ron Greens "Breakaway" all those years ago,or indeed some of the birds in the u.k. that win against high birdage week in and week out.....

Hi,Thanks for all your advice,let me add that returning the bird is not an option,I think I will follow a couple ....First one I wont make any rash decision,secondly I will try it in a basket for a few days,and handle it every time I go into the loft to try and show that it has nothing to fear from me......cant do that in the loft as I said it bounces off every wall.....thanks lads will let you know how I get on.......

Hi,can anyone help,I have in the last three days taken delivery of a new bird a three year old hen,the minute you open the loft door you can here her grunt,not only that but she takes off from wall to wall if I go into the section she is in,many years ago when in partnership with my father he would not entertain such a bird in our loft,whats best to do....? I paid quite a bit for her but she is upsetting the whole loft. If bred from are young birds likley to be the same...any help outhere....?

I have spent the last couple of hours reading the most interesting comments on reasons and possible ways to avoid sickness and indeed death to ones birds,I am only returning to the sport after some 17 years,It is my intention never to race young birds,am I right in believing that I would be safer wainting untill breeding from the stock birds I have brought is complete then vacinate both o/birds and young birds together........thanks for some wonderful reading....JBC/..

can you say what the blue cheq cock photograph 5 posted on 21st April and bl.cheq.w/f cock posted on 28th.April what breeding and how old they are many thanks.

can now see all the photographs,thanks to everyone for their help.......

Looks like many are going to miss out on the sale of these birds,because we cant open the attachments,....

thanks for everyones help.....too old for modern technology....I will try, my grandson he may show me where I am going wrong.....

what way are the old birds/stock birds to be sold,are you going to list them and take offers with the highest offer getting the bird or how do you plan conducting the sale...? JOHNSEE/..
