Picked this up off another site.Might be of interest to some of the Ayrshire lads. The red arrows will be using Prestwick airport on sat 31st August to refuel for a display in northern Ireland .

Good morning

Cheers Owen,think I can sort most of that out,the sunshine might be a problem

I would like to thank the fancier who took the time to look after my young bird GB13 * 13263,returned safe and sound and in good condition + terror eyes on one wing. I must admit if there was any that I really fancied that's him,will give him a chance being I'm short of cocks,everything's allowed one mistake lets hope he's learned from it. What makes them come home after being missing for four week and obviously flying out.?

Reply to my email. Hi Lindsay First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. This has been a very frustrating experience - and very time consuming. The full number is NEHU 2013; DAR xxxx. However, after posting messages on various pigeon sites yesterday, I tried ( yet again) to ring the Darlington secretary and spoke to his wife who took details and said her husband would likely look up the owner and give them my phone number. Last night, I had a phone call whilst out - no message left so I rang the person back on the mobile. He answered but didn't speak even when I kept saying 'hello'. I cut the call and sent a text. No reply. I rang the same mobile this morning, early, and spoke to a man who is the owner and told him the details. He wanted to know if I knew someone local that I could take it to. I'm afraid I was very angry. Pigeon racing is not my hobby but his, and I've cared for this poor creature since Friday and spent quite some time on the internet and phone trying to locate some responsibility for this bird and am now expected to deliver this bird somewhere else. (I take it that because it can't walk - think its leg may be broken, but is otherwise eating etc and bright, it isn't of use to its owner anymore ? And yet the public are encouraged to take the time to care for and report these birds). The man arranged to ring me at lunchtime to sort out something for the bird and as I'm typing this email to you, he rang and has actually arranged to collect the bird tomorrow. I guess it'll be 'dispatched' at some point. But to get back to this reply, I'm really very grateful to you for your response. And I'll never pick up an injured racing pigeon again. Kind regards Jo. My reply to Jo. Hi Jo,First all I must say I am sorry the you have had this sort of trouble trying to do someone a good turn.Please do not tar every pigeon fancier with the same brush,there's always a rotten apple in every barrel and it looks as though you might have found one.Like all walks of life some people are grateful and some don't give a toss,once again sorry for the bad experience,I have tried to help. Pleased you finally got it sorted. Lindsay C. Looks like it's sorted one way or the other. :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

Will try my best Andy. But being a NEHU ring might find it difficult.Didn't see NEHU before :emoticon-0127-lipssealed: email sent to Jo.

Any water additives,do you part them ?

Now that racings over for quite a few unfortunate lads and lasses who have had big losses. What do you do to get the darkness young birds to break into the body moult.Some use butter milk,some sedachol and other various additives.? Some just keep them in with good food clean water and of course plenty grit. Again what do you do.?

Wonder why she's phoning Darlington Sec.when her phone code is Driffield Yorkshire,quite a way from Darlo.?? Any local secretary INFO ?? that could be passed on ?

R.I.P. Mick. My condolences to his family and friends.

Grey,overcast and no wind.

Happy Birthday all

Good morning

Welcome to Basics Jack,enjoy your pigeons.

I would have thought it might have been a Peregrine,seen it done before especially with young birds.
