  3. Its's dead easy. http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/johnnyheague/?action=view&current=Video0016.mp4 Wish mine trapped like that,the only time they do is when a ba*****d peregrine is after them. Lindsay

  6. Just had a phone call from the clubs sec.to remind me that the AGM is tomorrow night then the subject was peregrines for the next twenty minutes.They are getting hammered with a large dark coloured hen along with another two lofts close to him.He said he's going to keep is birds in for a while to see if it will move on.

  8. That's a cracker Steve,dog with no teeth Do you know anyone with ferrets.Get some crap off them when they've cleaned them out and put it where the cats are running.
  9. Good morning basic members.No cleaning out this mo,everything frozen once again.just on -7.c. on the gauge,fed and watered a few more eggs and peace and quiet in the loft.Coffee time.
  10. Mine are cleaned out every time I go in the loft,I think it keeps the young birds tame,nest pans cleaned when the young birds are removed.
  11. I've set clocks and done the papers for years,I DO NOT agree with doing clocks one hour after the first arrivals,especially with young birds,there are always late comers , if you are the only fancier at the loft the young birds shouldn't come home to a locked door.I don't fly to traps I fly to open door.There are members in our club who are seven mile as the crow flies from our club room ???.We arrange where pos. a time to suit most members.Never been a problem.Phone each other for water races so everone knows the score. Lindsay.
  12. Happy birthday mate, hope you have a gooden.
  13. I have three Blakes lofts,they have their fauls nothing too serious except the woods too thin,Would be far better making the back and sides out of 3/4" ply and the front something fancy if that's what you like.
  14. Anyone fancying a new loft jacket,I can recomend the guy in the link.I ordered two on Teusday night and parcel arrived this mo. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160536022671 Lindsay.
  15. Good morning all, at the mo.trying to thaw my fingers out and having a coffee + a couple of tabs to ease the aches and pains.The pleasure of getting old ***************************** er.
  16. Cold N.E.wind dry as bones just on -3.c.
  17. Happy birthday to both of you. A special happy birthday day to my mate Jake.(youngboy)18 today,not a youngboy anymore.Best wishes. Lindsay.
  18. Some real nice birds there mate,the way things are going with racing and fuel in my area I might give them a go sometime in the future.
  19. The calcium tablet put him back on the perch ? So that's the conclusion I came to,he had all the symptoms that a hen shows so he got the same treatment.
  20. Another pigeon fancier has had is pigeon loft distroyed by an arson attack.Steven Fields of Normanton. I picked the story up off another site.(By Lesketch) "After a very good weekend at blackpool with ste fields,simon toon and andy clegg,and talking about looking forward to racing this year,last night steves lofts were burnt to the ground,ste has spent a fortune building up the stock he has,and some cannot be got now,this is defestating for anybody to have done to them,has many know steve he runs our local pigeon store and has many friends all over the globe,he is a top class bloke,this shudnt have happened,im gutted for him and family." Bloody disgusting,the bas***ds want hung. Lindsay
  21. Calcium tabs ,I always have them ,just incase.One down her throat she'll be up on the perch next day.If you were giving her grit when you took her away from her cock that would do the trick ,but as you said it took a week.I've also had a cock go off his legs ? same treatment,one tab. Lindsay
  22. Hi David,Sent you a PM mate. Lindsay
  23. 2-1 now
  24. I had a bird like that some years ago,but it grew more in the center of the wattle,I cut it open with a one sided razor blade and a pea shaped growth popped out.The bird was out and flying within a couple of days,after a couple of week there was no visible sign of where the growth had been .
