i think this is just another money spinner, look at your t3,the insert is just a box for a box, we have had members put in rubbers without thimbles for one reason or another and it has never stuck. its allways money gimme gimme all the time. :B :B ;D

i would say for courtship/ ritual, biggar the better for to attract the hen i suppose, cant see any other reason for it, just a thought :-/

you got a good deal there pal i wish all garages were that cheap you lucky sod ;D ;D

the hawk obviosly thinks its a doo,probably hand reared with doos, but how the doos arent scared is strange. :-/ crazy ;D ;D

thanks for the info lads, looks like screens is the answer, didnt want to but looks like ill have too, cheers

our y/bs this year have their own loft with aviary at the bottom of the back yard,basicly to harden them up weather wise and give plenty fresh air to be as natural as possible i suppose. my problem is the streetlights are very bright at night, they are roosting around 6 30 and are on the go early morn ,how will this affect moult for later on? we dont want to darken loft up restricting air flow. any comments , they were weaned three wks past so early bred. cheers davy

could be mr man i quinn ? sorry ime being silly. ;D

jan arden and the delbar, really look the business, but theyare allgood lookers.

thats an su doo,full o scots mist an canna see the way hame hic hic :-/ :-/ :P ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

aye jimmy, good posts, every one of them, i like reading posts from flyers who,s had the doos for as long as yirsel, and your dad,there is allways more info to be learned even after 7 yr racin the doos, its like driving, always something unexpected round the corner,i got my lad lee hooked on the doos when he was 10 by taking a stray home which had roosted on the front bumper of my truck down in wales.ithought it was deadf but no, i fed it broth mix till i got home 6 days later,then my lee took over and then he was hooked, it went on from there, we have had 2 red cards in 6 yrs, he is allways keen and looking for a winner, i think we have crosses with crosses, but since i was affered the job of driver/convoyer for n/scotland fed and lee is 2ndman,the y/birds he has got from good hearted doomen all over our fed will cheer him up no end. in the last 2 yr we have got on board two young lads interested in the doos. its all good stuff,yours davy

buckie,moray, black w/f.

ime sure spds only del in scotland, my mate had birds up from n/wales,he had to use amtrakto aberdeen,then bus n train to get home,cost a fortune for him, we are n/scotland :-/

well done ian, great thing to do good luck, its a big job.

your damned right walter, we dont entertain rspb up my way and if any hawks are caught, then they are shifted quick.problem is public dont understand, they think rspb protect all birds. we know they dont so us as fanciers must protect our own. its only right.

YOU CAN TRY OLD CD DISCS TIED ON A STRING ACROSS THE GARDEN TO REFLECT LIGHT OR PAINT A PAIR OF BIG OWL EYES, THAT WORKS OR BETTER STILL STICK TO THE GUN ? BUT HIDE,,

no but seriously, the male hawk is normaly up high, but the hen is an ambush hunter, she will glide over fences without being seen, then its too late.SAD BUT TRUE.

get a gun but hey :o :odont let anayone see ya???

well, reading these threads is it any wonder we have massive bird losses from racing. if its a willy nilly approatch to vacc as it appears to be. in our club as it is in the whole of the n of scot fed the sec of each club vacc the birds with the member present. it has to be witnessed by club official. its the only way to go.

the only ones ive bred for 500ml to me is arie vissor /janssen ,did well in hard north wind,go to a flyer you know, not a flyer you dont that sounds good and you wast money. the best ones come from a friend and is usually free ;)

trouble is with the fairer sex they will doo what they want to, thing is ,youcant make her go to bx 5.if she wants floor she will have floor :Pwait for 2nd egg, after 2days sitting tight then move nestbowla good 10inch out of the way, she shouldnt move, if under perches put board above her.if move to box will come off. :B all the best dave

thanks ian ,we had the same prob at alnwick, park full of caravanners.
