How soon before training are you feeding the birds? You won't get them to trap if they are full of corn. There is an interesting article you should read, food for thought ? http://www.pigeonbasics.com/forum/blah/m-1148810973/

Rats and mice are responsible for transmitting a number of diseases via their urine and droppings. Some of the more common diseases are Salmonella, Diarrhea, dysentery, food poisoning, gastroenteritis Toxoplasmosis Murine typhus Leptospirosis (or Weil’s disease) Haemorrhagic fever http://www.urbanshield.co.uk/html/rodents.html

Yeh, mine likes all that crap too, and Guinness and bloody Oysters at 49p each - but you do save money if you buy a dozen....he points out

Sorry to diverse - I don't shop in Asda, is that really all they cost ? 48 cans for £16 ? (I'll get him off the Guinness - £1 a can...! ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have sent you a pm Shadow re some of the books

The Z ring issue for the pigeon is: East Cleveland Federation Mr Dowey 01287 651539 HOWEVER - East Cleveland do a breeder buyer sale every year and may use the Z rings for that purpose, possibility that it might not belong to someone in that fed any longer. You can report strays by e-mail :- nehu@nehu.co.uk

Have they been vaccinated yet ? They must be vaccinated before you start training.

Can we have an updated pic of babies please Samantha Loft set up looking really good

In the NEHU you have to fill a form in which requires two signatures, and has the details of Batch no for vaccine etc (not the form with the vaccine, this isn't allowed) but someone from our club comes and injects the birds and signs the forms and as owners we sign the form with all ring numbers of birds vaccinated saying that we are the owners of the birds, we get copy, club and fed secretaries get copies.

Well done keepsmilingqueen, you must be really chuffed with your win, hope you got all your birds back, still waiting for two myself, (one waiting when I got home from work today) who were 1st and 2nd back from the previous race - can't understand it, as you said, queer race, timed in same time - but you were probably 40 miles longer (260 or so for me)
