Ireland, Wales and England.

Aye Billy, be that as it may :emoticon-0136-giggle: But many did. Ceratinly those in or near the countryside who knew something.... and didn't waste good money on money making concerns lol.

I think I would do the same I did with the baths lanarkshire lad. Leave on a board in the aviary. I released all my stock - birds when I was building this loft.... catching and basketing them because I was still in the throes of building etc. Was Mid April and due to the weather I was way behind.

Fantastic. I have a couple of 3 x 3 foot boards. I fetch some in a sack and spread on the boards. Pigeons go mad for it. (Couple with grated lemon as good as you will get .... and is free. After about 3 days I re - sack it and take it back. Have no room on garden now, which is very good for it. Once a week is ampful.... birds tell you when finished with.

Da12... You being deliberately silly, or don't you just understand New players are IN the squad. Plus we missed out through injury 3 others.

You're a sad case Da12. Me being right again, telling truth and being right in forecasts- just like I do regards pigeons get right up your nose. Sorry about that. Live with it! And stop trying to take one line to draw a universe. Even that line you do twist and turn lol. Get over it. :002:

Da12 'Only New Boy'?

Was all we needed Dal2. Just to settle us in. Scotland had a poor start, then had a very good patch in the first half. But the OLD geezers of experience were enough to give us what was needed. Only had 2 weeks together too. Did you notice a new boy score our opening try Dal2? Next game I feel we will field some of them new faces from the start against Italy. Gosh 7 games now without Scotland scoring a try against us eh! Oh by the way we gave away more silly mistakes and missed conversions golly gee. :002:

Is it a baby possum lol?

Strange post that Da12. More than bias and unfair. However we have brought in some new players, a new manager, but kept some CLASS proven Players, so the insults are just uncouth and silly really. Scotland did well in the world cup eh!?. So much a do was made about a ref's decision! But then that is OK eh! Nary a thought of realism about the many bad decisions we had against Wales though I see! Typical! Nary a thought of realism either I see lol :002:

A weasel eh! I remember one surprising my cat once.... only for a short spell though.

I think we will see much faster games now. It has been the trend over the last 2 or 3 seasons. Quick pick ups and quick releases. Out right winner eh! England with all my heart lol. Plus I think Wales have the most experienced and settled side this time around ... But feel England overall class will out lol :002: Out right winner eh! England with all my heart lol. Plus I think Wales have the most experienced and settled side this time around ... But feel England overall class will out lol :002:

Yes MOST sellers are a darn site more clever and believable when DOING THE SAME! lol

I think it could be France, England and Ireland as the winners today. In my (Considered lol) opinion the Wales V Ireland could be the closest fought match. Agreed Italy improve every season for the past 5, but France always have a bit of flair and a match winner. England V Scotland could be down to the 'New Manager' and how they have altered and inspired their teams. But England, regardless of biases have by far the deepest pool of good players to choose from, so on that basis always have a chance against any side in the world. Never mind the last defeat by Wales... When Coaches attacked the bias refereeing and earnt banns, if they had converted against Wales the spouting's would be far different. Indeed they could, and in reality should have push over the line ... But again loose refereeing allowed saw that to be so. England don't become a bad team over night! Like in most sports and such! But the adage I often refer to of 'You can only be as good as the opposition / opponent let's you. Bring it on lol.

My dad died of clogged up arteries. Grease and fat and smoking! So let's feed the pigeons Lambs fat etc. A little natural fat is a essential. But all it needs will, and can be gained via it's natural feeding regime. Only down side if any, would be the pigeon doesn't know what we have in store for it! So simple reality is to feed it what it would feed it's self on if it knew and was able to find. They find any and everything they need in the wilds lol.

What a joke it is when they bleat on about Good bacteria and Bad bacteria. And then we decide which is which regardless ... then kill the flipping lot lol. The gut then has to resort to means of gaining such again. No wonder birds - generally - are so fit and well lol.

A little Canker is imperative in a pigeon. It is natural. There are 32 different forms. A mild imperative canker will keep out other cankers. BUT kill it of and it will come back stronger each time. Soon it may take it's toll.

Best thing I ever bought.

Now when in Canada I visited many good fanciers lofts. Generally, over all the condition is pretty good. More so as one heads more into the countryside.

Here is a simple reality. A fancier, COULD BE YOU! keeps his bird in pretty good nick. An overall condition that he is proud off, and many will say superb etc. Well to his face lol (Joshing there). He loses a good bird, or well thought of which has a good proven record. He loses it. From just 230 miles and can't believe it. A week a Monday / Tuesday it is on the loft. Superb looking. Gets it in and it handles a treat. You, me both can't condition a bird like it! Must have got lost in a drug store and fed tib - bits of :D Any way it is sent the next Friday and wins it's first race. Simple truth is the fact that we CAN'T condition a bird like nature nor like it can it's self. I lose a few here about to the massive delict cinema across the road. I see feral picking up of the road out side. Often am amazed at the superb condition. Went to Howards Country... the feral there could win in shows. Mind fed proper with odds and sods a sick pigeon is often sold looking great ( Beside the brush work on the photos) ... for a few days any way.

Good, thought the E could have stood for extraordinary etc. Glad to hear it.

The E.A.G.M I wonder what's going on now.

Thanks

You know, and Da12, I have no problem with you or your thoughts let alone how to think and keep pigeons etc. If there was ever a sport of diversity then our sport must rank high. But a simple honesty and reality is such that too many are gullible via 'Names' and P.R advertising. We see it every day in all walks of life, and our sport is no different. Where there is money eh!. Bottle water / spring water contains more salt and sugar and much than any daily use. Tap water if far better and safer. Energy drinker proven time and time again a myth... In fact the proven it does nothing. Tap water is far far better and more beneficial. Google it1 You see it on TV programmes often.... yet turn a blind eye. We place oil on feed to help camouflage unnatural stuff that is no more than a pseudo myth relating to human's term. Oil is more than ample when derived from the grain seeds etc. that they eat naturally. A cup when brimful can't hold any more, it is passed through. We hear of Oxalating the water when filling the drinkers, but obviously can't get into the blood stream... if it did the bird would die any way. Spinach, rhubarb, Water cress etc. is full od iron. Well check it out. Carrot juice is far better. If one wants to impart this time of year take the by products of Jam. Elderberries, Rose Hips, Apples, Blackberries Mountain Rowen etc. and you will have every good ingredients for Vitamins, and minerals you need... chuck a lemon or grapefruit in for good measure. Indeed freeze a lemon and then peel and grate it into the drinkers. Full of minerals etc. Anti biotics are but a poison which works by poison. A typical farce indulged in every day for an example ids our Margarine. We are the only creatures on earth that will eat it. Dogs etc. spurn it. Flies won't even land on it. It was created for want of a better word to feed turkeys. It is the waste product of oil and is only on module away from plastic. Indeed is a form. When they found Turkeys wouldn't touch it... no matter how hungry they had to find another sauce, something / someone gullible... Man lol. As for all the wonder in it... well quite simply it can only contain what is injected into it. Google Margarine Plastic etc. How does one reduce fat in these wonderful foods... by halving the main ingredient and adding twice as much water or such. You can't take fat out of anything, likewise this cholesterol etc. But we pay twice as much for far less? the loaf of bread used to be the staff of life. Not any more. Not since 1955 when we - under the pretence of feeding the hungry - they force grew ten times as much from the same root etc. Profit. But then couldn't sale much because when you held it, it sunk and showed there was no substance - good for beasties eh!. So the came out with the 'Tweak of Freshness'. Shopper still 'tweak it' 60 years later... even if it is at least three weeks old often. Now super markets bake on site. But the only wheat any good is a speciality from Canada... quite pricey.
