I have stray Irish pigeon with 'N' on the ring,does anybody have secretarys phone number or email.I have an address but no telephone number.

Wanted: Collared or Java Doves. I am looking for a couple of male birds,Collared or Java doves.

The bill came from the Head office,I don't pay the driver because I have an account with Amtrak. Must get my eyesight checked again!

Just receceived my amtrak bill today,they are now charging an extra 10% fuel surcharge on top of the normal price. This makes the price £24.20 now,it would have been nice to have been told this before the bill arrived.

NEHU 05 GF 2489 Cheq W/F,been attacked by Mr Hawk.A few tail feathers missing and some secondarys.

We had every thing sorted out in October,birds& flights etc.Then DEFRA stopped the importation because of Bird flu.Defra said they would let us know when things where OK,but even after the rule changes in December they have still not responded to any telephone calls.

Does anyone know about Defra's stance on importing pigeons from America. Can we or can't we.

Stafford show is cancelled and as from this year the poultry club committee have decided that there will be no pigeon section.

Defra told our governing body the NPA that all pigeon & poultry shows and sales are suspended as from yesterday 25th October until futher notice.

Could somebody describe the methods they use for putting Garlic in the pigeon bath.

As breeder of Exhibition fantails, I can assure you that the bird is not suffering from any health problems. The answer is as simple as Bruno describes it. If you just break away a small amount of the sheath at a time, you can feel the piping drying up. The feather will eventually look normal. Pigeons normally moult 2 tail feathers at a time but because fantails have a lot more tail feathers, they tend to moult them in batch of about 6.Just rub the quill with your finger and thumb once a day, but only about ½ inch each time, allow them to have plenty of baths and they will moult out perfect.

Hi Peckedhen My mistake sorry,show date is Saturday 19th 2005. I will be there judging Show racers,if you require anymore help just get in touch.

The Lancashire Show Pigeon Society's annual show at Cliteroe auction mart,will be held on Saturday 16th November 2005. The show normally attracts an entry of around 1600 birds.

Many thanks for everyone’s help. The birds are losing body weight, don’t know if there are other problems but the eye loss is the one easiest to spot.

A few weeks ago I attended a young bird pigeon show.Since then a couple of the birds have gone blind in both eyes.I have spoken to a couple of fanciers who also exhibited at the show and they have also lost birds due to eye blindness. The birds appeared OK on return from the show,then after about a week the eye pupils started to loss colour until the eye was completely clear. As anyone heard of anything like this before.

Many thanks for everyone's help the bird belonged to a gentleman in Scotland and luckily for him I have some fanciers visiting me this weekend who live pretty near,so he was well pleased,because the bird had scored for him the week before it was lost.

I use Amtrak quite regularly and I have never had a problem till recently, my local branch now has a new manager and driver. On 3 occasions now I have phoned them the day before and asked them to collect some birds and they have not turned up. When you ring them they simply apologise and promise to come the next day. You then have to phone the fancier up and explain to him that Amtrak have let me down again. If I was running a business like them I am afraid I would not survive long, unfortunately when you have no competition you must just put up with them. The BHW will no longer print complaints about Amtrak’s now, just incase they tell us to get lost.

The following bird dropped in last night. NEHU 05 TD 4241 Could someone fix me up with a contact number. Thanks
