Total disgrace Eugene, the birds should never have been released in that weather. When is NIPA going to realise that they have a duty of care to those birds when they are sent to the race points and not with the attitude of liberate no matter what the weather, they have done it many times before especially with young birds and I'm sure it won't be the last. I was one of the lucky ones as I opted not to send and there are still 1000s of birds awol and a lot of fanciers season is over because of this :angry:
