you mean like you did on the pigeon chat site? :X :X : :

Lovely birds Ted - how many have you got now? (pigeons that is)

Could they have been fighting Debbie - and pecked each others eyes?

If you don'y know how to use it - then you shouldn't be using it You would be a danger to yourself as well as your birds

try putting a ribbon on it ;D The birds look very nice

Haven't seen any evidence or reports of this in crows - seems to be more swans found with it - but is this because swans are big and more noticeable especially when dead - a dead crow would be harder to spot being black and smaller in size

Maybe bruno or somebody could decipher this below - but doesn't look to me as if poultry outside the restricted zones requires a licence - so why pick on pigeons? http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/notifiable/disease/ai/pdf/h5n1-movementmatrix071113.pdf

It looks like rapido buschaert Ted - but I'm not certain :B

It says this on the DEFRA Website: In addition, the national general licence permitting bird gatherings in England has been revoked, and bird shows and pigeon racing will not be permitted for the time being.

You have very little chance of achieving this Have you handled the birds much? We have purchased birds from Louella and although happy with what they have bred - the birds bought for stock are wild and not easy to handle - and of those that have escaped - they've never been seen nor heard of since I wouldn't even attempt to settle them

Where did you get your information from? I was told the opposite when one of my birds was maimed by a neighbours cat

Only that its H5 but not whether its N1 Keep positive - its the closed season

Avian Influenza has been confirmed at a free range turkey farm also with ducks and geese near Diss in Suffolk. A 3km PZ and a 10km SZ has been introduced.

Is that as well as the one in Suffolk?

apologies fifer - I must have hit the wrong key - you are correct :B :B :B (might go to the opticians then 8))

blimey - you were slow ;D

THE MAG IS 01206 843436 OR 01206 842221

The racing pigeon mag? or the RPRA?

I think Bricon have more than one type of market - and those with Unives 1.7 protocol are fine - but they have them 'be' for the belgian market - and this could be where the problem lies

ours don't get paid :-/

apologies - yes I remember now on the lost section

what happened to your other 20? could there be something in your loft that you have not got rid of? bacteria etc can live for a long time if you are not in the habit of burning out the loft

A club member reckons he can get a ring on like this - and told me how he does it - and no way would I do that :o :o very unhygenic :X

I'm just pointing out that you can't in case anybody was wondering

You can't get a pencil through 1/4 inch mesh
