my mate round the corner has had three grizzles and an old white shetland hen nicked about three weeks ago, the same about a year ago but a lad and his g/freind came to me with the doos to give back so i did but whether its the same lad i dont know, anyhow the police are onto it but a fat lot o good that will do, i feel for his da and granda cause they are and were good doo lads, i have five missin for around a fortnight but hey , could be the hawk, its open bowl here 24seven.

on radio the day, another outbreak in lincoln, not far from the original one,i still say it comes from them importing xtra birds for crimbo rush, be like trump and close borders to everything

ps, yi might be in fur a couple o good eggs aff him mate.

well dun dougie, ald harryll be well chuffed.

had two from stevie a year back but cant keep reds up here, they were crackers tho but went off roof,broke my heart with a red hen a dozen yr ago, flew fery well with club cards, sent in grand nick to our longest which was hastings at the time but no show so was waiting early morning when around ten i heard a thump on the roof o the shed, theres the red hen couldnt walk so i lifted her and the poor crater was eat through fae the back, put water down her throat and it drained out of her, i could see by her eyes she was happy to find and get home, i kissed her goodbye and let her rest, i dont breed reds anymore, way tae ma bed night

forgot tae mention, ime cooking ours for twelve so ses it all

i suppose by the posts the better halfs are havin a day off? or is this the way it allways is

i was in to see stevie aitchison last year and he has a stock loft full, bred from originals.

listen hear peter p ,this virus has been brout in by commercial breeders for the seasonal needs of the country, the survey was done on feral , aye okay but it prove the pigeon is a gene apart from poultry or fowl and isnt easily accseptible to contract the bird flue therefore we shouldnt be affected by this crap, as for wild birs carrying the flue, well i see no sighns of it up here in the north where there are thousands of woocock and all manner of birds in country and hawks, buzzard etc thriving after herst, this is purely a comercial thing and shouldnt effect pigeon men, but we will all be tarred with the same brush i suppose, i will not confine my doo.s end of./

i knew when i was going bald, there was ashower of rain, the hair was dry but my face was soaked

the mum took the wee lad tae the doc, my son has a wee willy can you help?doc ses can you bake pancakes, yes, the bake a heap and give your lad as much as he can eat, itll help, in morning there is a pile o steaming pancakes the wee lad says mam all for, no you have two and leave the rest fur yir da

ha ha, never mind lads, how does it go?? statis quo.

i was at ripon a few year back with north feds and because of small birdage controller wanted to lib all in, they didnt want to, total madness imo.

i agree but unfortunately too many feds and too many transporters all wanting that window on sat morning makes it a very hard call, also the controllers do a magic job but are slaughtered for it, comes to mind my job on the wagons, your only as good as your last run, everything else is just bye the bye.

nuff said phil, its been taken in by the commercials but theyll blame it on wildfowl migrating and the whole country will be on lockdown but not me, defra can visit me and test the doo,s but will find nowt,mine will fly free and anyone on hear can shout me down but i dinna give a ?, my doo,s will fly open bowl like they allways have and allways will

aye ian yir bluddy right min

ill bet these farms are importing bird for xmas demand and this is whats happening, we will be buggered by the rules,ie defra but its nowt to do with doo,s cause theyre nae poultry, end of.

mebbe but where do our b irds come into contact with any of them, tell me.

i and my son have boughtdoos from sales that have dropped off perches or have looked well and then have retained seed and went sick so was binned, my doos are open hole and are healthy, i have heard nothing from my fed so i will open bowl tomorrow and let the birds fly free until i am told otherwise, i personally think its a load of monaymaking crap at this time of year, end of.

our birds are all veccinated every year aqainst the pox and everything they arnt wild or are they captive also they arnt poultry, totaly different species,i cant for the life of me see how this affects lads n lassies flyin a doo round the house, it beggars beleaf that jhonny foreiner has a problem and we have to suffer by it.

what is the problem here, what kind of migrating birds do we have up here in the north, my doo,s arnt captive nor are they poultry, the same thing every year at this time, is it to put price up for xmas dinner i wonder? i dont see wild birds dropping oot of sky with disease, my birds are open bowl but i have closed them in poor buggers but i cant see the problem , mebbe the disease only affects confined birds ie poultry???.

dont do that andre, doos love their own droppings and thrive on it, i know national winners whose birds make nests and rear winners on droppings, pigeons love sh** but this isnt what its about, you have lost interest and are giving away, no need for arsholes to critisize yir dookit min, all the best in what you do ma man, davy.

no snow yet in moray but hailstones the day with a bitter north wind, i havnt seperated cause i havnt raced in two year cause ime never there so i have been chucking eggs and thinkin the cold snap will stop them, lo and behold went under a hen cause she.s sitting and theres two hatched,ive open lofts and open bowl, the cold wind is bitter, i rung them so its a bit of a try, wele see, every one else has stopped laying i think? ime trying keeping them together for the distance racing, long life partners and motivation type o thing

jist gran ally,hope you have a good season next year,lovely hills but a hard flee, good oan yi mate

good read, thanks rooster
