Ronnie some of the birds I handled today when I was down at yours. I swear they had a little bit of owl in them

You forgot the rats Davey. "" Plenty of them of them up in this neck of the woods""

Might keep the rest of the BOPs away

Hi welcome to P/B. would contact other fanciers in your area have a word word with them and see whats being sold local. it can save you money on petrol or postage and Im sure they would keep you right.

Heavy overcast visabilty good/ strong gusty south wind / for the Buckie area

Awe dont if it takes you as long to lib birds /As it did to sell a loft full of doos we will never get a race

Never going to happen the Dundee doos are not that fast to cover that amount of mileage in 15/30mins

SLIP THE BOYS A BACKHANDER THAT'S TELL THEM TO GO DOWN TO THE PUB FOR A LONG LUNCH , WHEN THE BIRDS ARE DUE IN ""SORTED"

CHILLY/ DULL /OVERCAST/ IN THE BUCKIE AREA CHILLY/ DULL /OVERCAST/ IN THE BUCKIE AREA

Are you sure its Fife beach and not HMP Shotts with a fence like that around it

A cracking day/ A wee bit windy in the Buckie area

Be prepared for heavy losses and allways have a needle and thread handy to sew up the survivers

I have some spare rings if you need them

Now we know how the Christians felt when they were thrown to the Lions . ""That's what we are doing with our birds ""

I know how you feel Walter I put a post up at the weekend I had 6 returned hawked and i am still 4 missing from a 66ml race on saturday,Thats half my team out of action. I was watering my garden last night when I heard the strange screeching cominig from the woods about 400mtrs away I stood and watched and there it was a hen sparrowhawk tryiing to encourage 2 of her young out of the woods .What chance do my birds have now They will only leave the loft now with me in a basket. As you said Walter is there a future in pigeon racing Unless there is a holy mirical Cant see by the trees

I think you are spot on about what your saying . Maybe this should be sorted out at the AGM. Not on a public website No disrespect to anyone

Thanks for your thoughts This is a good Idea DOING SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN SITTING SILENCE AND WATCHING OUR HOBBY GOING DOWN THE LAVVY

I agree that money is power. I also agree that the fancier is his own worst enemy. Yet in life we try to be goody two shoes , how many time are we asked to donate birds for this charity or that charity I know some are personal and we try to help our own kin. We run the biggest pigeon show in the world. What do we do with the profit give it away to charity, with no publicity A wee photo in the H/W Very good . How many charities do the RSPB donate to A big fat nil They would rather stand with the bucket out and beg from the public . £3 a month could make a diffrence thats there fav add. I dont have any answers but its time we did something or there will be a lot of pigeon lofts for sale on EBAY

Can you please put up the web address for reporting BOP strikes

I know we are our own worst enemy If we bred less their would be less food for the Bops If we all kept our birds locked up in the winter their would be less food for them. But its the same old story with fanciers if Tam down the street breeds 50 birds Wullie at the top of the street will breed 70 just to try and beat him I think that the fancier that races by numbers contributes a lot of meals for the bops The more birds bred the easier it is for the bops to get a good easy feed Practice makes perfection and with so many birds in the sky they get all the practise they want as they are top of the food chain
