best dad ever bought in were Bussherts old lines 3 muskaetters lines, worst were some sootjens( they were terrible lookers and racers), but he bought some van reets from louella last year they gave them a run for there money, had 6 youngbirds the last one was gone by 3rd old bird race this year

Good for you i love it when these old birds have a happy retirement hopefully a long one too, nice bird too and a good one too :)

thanks nice offer. think i will need about 4 peices 6 ft by 3 ft that would be more than enough

what is this please

can any one tell me the best thing to use for a aviary as some of the birds are knocking there tail flights and wing flights up, as they hang on to the mesh, as i have small mesh on there at the momment was wondering if any other products are used, i thought of changing the mesh to perspex and drilling holes in them, or trying fabric mesh or changing to dowels or have mesh with bigger holes/ larger mesh, please give your opinnions please,

well done and i know what a great feeling it is to have one on the day from that distance really makes it all feel worth while..

well done chap pleased for ya hope you can keep it going good luck

not to bad in the tipton few more clouds than at 5 when young birds went to droitwich for training but still looks to be a nice morning

well done top offer

I have a problem with the street birds, as i live on the back of the park and some people feed them directly behind my house on the park. On sunday morning they come in there droves i counted 44 last sunday while i was waiting fopr the young birds to come from training, they occasionly come with my birds but has u say they dont go back out, the only thing u can do is speak to your neighbour and ask him to trty to controll them, If he dont i would take control of them.

after a bad week were our house was broken into and we were robbed having my lap top taken it shows me how much i enjoy this site as i have to get on here by my phone to try and keep intouch cant wait to get back on here proper

birds been collected today

i have a pair of stock birds to get rid of they were given to me recently but i just dont have the room to keep them, so if anyone in the west midlands is a new starter they can come and collect them, they are van reets and thats all i know. they are 07 birds

thanks

can u tell me what is the best treatment for a reprotry infection, as 1 of my young birds has returned after a few days seems to be weasing and has like a darker wottles than normal. he is in quarintine, also would it be wise to treat the others just incase this was a reason for him haveing a few days out?

Have just had a delivery of them, the birds were picked up in scotland this afternoon and deliverd to me in the midlands, couldnt of asked for a better service, would highly recommend them, i have usd them twice know and 2 excellent services, top draw. http://www.jmlivefishandaquariacouriers.co.uk/page007.html

thanks for all these great comments guys, my dad has raced birds since 1967 and he says that pigeon fanciers are the best kind of people, and with all these comments i can understand why.

THANKS for all the nice words guys

to true

have had a indifffrent emotions today as my dad has taken volentry redundancy today, he is 61 and has decided to take it as an early retirement and he will have his time to spend with my mom and the birds i am really happy for him but was upset that he wont be at work with me anymore as it is the only job i have ever had, as he got me the job there, i have been there 12 years and it was a strange feeling this afternoon with him not around when i looked for him he wasnt there,, but he was well happy to be finished after he as worked since he was 15,

why not get your own young birds next year race them as young birds then the following year race them as old birds the following season and then only race the old bird season from then on

if they have had a hard race dad will put it in or if the young birds have had a hard training toss and spent plenty of time on the wing. it is only really used as a pick up, but a good one

i use dyrolites if i cant get old of electrolytes as it is basically the same thing, and does the same job
