THE FIFER

BL/CH GB03J53955, IN MY LOFT 3DAYS, GETTING OUT DAILY AND SOMETIMES GOES AWAY FOR 2-3 HRS, MAYBE TRYING TO HOME. WILL KEEP LETTING IT OUT ALSO GOING TO TOSS BIRDS OVER THE FORTH ON TUESDAY WILL LET IT GO THERE,

FINE CLOCKY, ARE U GOING TO FALAISE, I HAVE 4 GOING, 3 OF THEM WERE THERE LAST YEAR, ARRIVED NEXT MORNING ABOUT 10 AM, SO HOPE TO GET BETTER THIS YEAR,

IT'S A CROSSGATES BIRD, SECY, M DONNACHIE 01383/722276

KEEP GOING MATE, WE KNOW IT'S EASY FOR OTHERS TO SAY BUT DON'T LET THIS GET U DOWN, WE HAVE ALL BEEN IN THE SAME BOAT AT ONE TIME, ALL THE BEST.

I USED TO LIKE THE PONY'S ON BLACKPOOL BEACH LOL

YES JIMMY THERE IS A TOPIC ON THIS.

PEA-HEADS,

BUT IT'S THE SAME WITH DOGS THEY GET VACCINATED EACH YEAR, ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT COMPULSARY. IT JUST MEANMS U WILL NOT GET THEM IN KENNELS ETC. WHICH IS THE SAME WITH PIGEONS IT'S NOT COMPULSARY, IT'S ONLY IF U ARE RACING OR SHOWING.

I THINK AMTRAK ARE JUST WAITING FOR AN EXCUSE TO STOP DEALING WITH PIGEONS.

U ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW BIRDS RULES BUT THE ONES PEOPLE KEEP IN THEIR GARDENS, BLACK BLUE WHITE ARE THEY NOT GARDEN FANTAILS, ITS JUST LIKE RACING PIGEONS, RACERS AND SHOW RACERS, THE SHOW BIRDS DO NOT RACE BUT ARE STILL CALLED RACERS.

FIFE FEDERATION COMEBACK FROM OTTERBURN IS CANCELLED DUE TO TRANSPORT TROUBLES.

I THINK U WILL FIND GARDEN FANTAILS COME IN ALL COLOURS,

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

CHEERS ALL, HAD A GOOD ONE GOING OUT WITH FAMILY ON SATURDAY FOR A MEAL AND NO DOUBT A FEW DRAMS, ALSO HAD PLENT PRESIS FROM FAMILY, THAT'S 73 BEFORE ANYONE ASK'S, MANY THANKS,

WELCOME ABOARD AGRANADE LOOKING FORWARD TO UR POSTS.

YES AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY, AND AS ALWAYS MY FRIENDLY AMERICANS CELEBRATE THIS DAY AS WELL, HOPE U ALL HAD A LOVELY DAY, "THE 4TH OF JULY"

AFTER ROONEY AND BECKHAM WENT OFF AND THEY WERE PLAYING WITH 10 MEN, THEY WERE LIKE A CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING TEAM, AND COULD HAVE WENT TOO THE FINAL WITH THEM, SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THOSE TWO, EVERYONE SAY'S THEY PLAYED BETTER WITH THE 10 MEN (WITHOUT ROONEY AND BECKHAM) ANYWAY THEY DID THEIR BEST, AND IT'S OVER SO BACK TO PIGEONS I AGREE.

THEY WERE ALSO USED FOR RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, U MADE UP A MIXTURE UNTIL THE WATER WAS BLACK, THEN HELD THE BIRDS HEAD IN IT FOR 3 SECONDS, AND WHEN IT CAME OUT U THOUGHT THE BIRD WAS GOING TO DIE, IT COULD'NT STAND UP BUT AFTER A FEW MINS WAS OK, IT DID CLEAR THEIR HEADS, BUT THERE IS MORE MODERN METHODS ON HAND NOW, AS FAR AS KEEPING BIRDS KLEAN THROUGH THE BATH THER IS NOTHING BETTER THAN SOME STRONG GARLIOC WATER IN IT, LET CUT GARLIC BULB STAND IN A LARGE BOTTLE OF WATER FOR A WEEK OR MORE, AND PUT IT IN UR BATH WATER, U WILL NEVER SEE ANYTHING ON UR BIRDS, AND IS GOOD FOR THEM.

VIEW OVER THE FORTH FROM LEVEN 0815HRS, CLEAR BLUE SKY WITH WARM SUN, CAN SEE OVER OTHER SIDE.

SORRY PETE NOT HEARD ANYMORE SO LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FLU BUG, WILL LET U KNOW IF I HEAR ANYTHING, THE ONLY THING I NOTICED TODAY WAS THE OTHER 2 SWANS IN THE HARBOUR ARE NOT THERE,

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NEEDING TO GROW UP, I SERVED IN THE ROYAL MARINES AND AS A SCOTSMAN WAS CALLED JOCK, AS IRISH WERE CALLED PADDY, WELSH TAF, AND ENGLISH, DEVON WERE JANNERS, ETC ETC THE ENGLISH HAD DIFFERENT NAMES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTIES BUT WE WERE ALL FRIENDS AND CALLED THOSE NICK NAMES BY US ALL, SO THERE IS NO HARM, THE SCOTS THE IRISH THE WELSH AND THE ENGLISH HAVE ALL BEEN KNOWN BY THE DIFFERENT NAMES, WE ARE ALL BRITISH AND IF WE KEEP RACING PIGEONS NO MATTER WHERE OR HOW WE ARE ALL PIGEON FANCIERS, AND SHOULD BE KEEPING THE SPORT AS SPORTSMEN SHOULD.

IT'S LOOKING LIKE THERE WILL BE NO RACING OUTSIDE THE UK ONCE MORE AFTER 31ST JULY, ACCORDING TO PETER BRYANTS REPORT TODAY,

HI LINDA, GOOD TO HEAR UR OK, AND BACK ON LINE, ALL THE BEST.

YES LET'S HOPE PETE, AROUND HEAR IT COULD BE ANYTHING AS A LOT OF VANDALISM GOES ON, OR SOMETHING BEEN IN THE RIVER, AS I HEAR SOME OF ITS YOUNGSTERS ARE AWAY AS WELL, I WAS TOLD THIS BY A FRIEND SO IS SECOND HAND BUT HE IS OK AND WALKS HIS DOG EACH MORNING, I WAS DOWN THE BEACH WITH MINE AND THE 2 SWANS IN THE HARBOUR ARE OK, THIS ONE WITH THE YOUNGSTERS WAS UP RIVER A BIT.

THIS HAPPENS AND OK WITH THE AMOUNT OF BIRDS WE KEEP NOW A STRAY CAN BE IN UR LOFT AND NOT BE NOTICED, BUT NOT A WHITE ONE OR GAY PIEDS ETC, I HAVE 2 YOUNGSTERS GO AWAY FOR A NIGHT ETC AND COME BACK FULL OF GRUB, IF ANYONE GETS SOMEONELSES BIRD IN THROUGH IT OUT.
