THE FIFER

that's why clockman wanted the tay bridge tolls abolished, so his doos would not have to pay when they walk accross, He He He He He, NO GOOD IDEA CLOCKY PUTING UP BIRDS FOR THE WEB MASTER, SNIVVLE SNIVVLE SNIVVLE, HOWS THINGS GOING OVER THERE G, IS THE COMBINE GOING ON, I DO NOT HEAR MUCH FROM THE FED AT THE MOMENT,

I AGREE WITH THIS SHADOW,WE ARE ALL HOPING THIS AND THAT, BUT IN THE TRUTH OF IT ALL I THINK WE SHOULS COUNT OURSELF LUCKY TO GET ANY RACING, AND AT LEASED IT WILL KEEP THE BIRDS ON THE GO, NOT TOO SURE ABOUT TOO MANY COMING NORTH THOUGH, (CLASHING)

I WOULD LOVE THE AVIAN FLU TO BE SCRUBBED OUT NATIONWIDE,

BETTER AT ENSTER MEALYBAR, (ANSTRUTHER)

i have had one for a few years it works both my nebours have cats but do not come near my garden, i got mine at a garden centre, most have them,

THE PIECE REGARDING LATE BIRDS ETC RETURNING FROM RACES IS IN THE LAYOUT WHICH PETER BRYANT POSTED REGARDING REGULATIONS FOR RACING, AND DISINFECTING BASKETS ETC

STILL GET SMOKE BOMBS AS I USE THEM OFTEN.DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE FORMALDEHYDE,BUT I AM SURE SOME COMPANY WILL BE ONLY TO PLEASED TO MAKE THEM, GOOD IDEA POMPEY.

UPSIDE DOWN ON RIGHT LEG, IF ALL BIRDS ARE RUNG THE SAME(LEG) ITS A LOT EASIER GOING FOR THE RIGHT LEG WHEN MARKING, ALSO IF THE RING IS UPSIDE DOWN EASY TO READ, I DOO NOT SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKES RIGHT HANDED OR LEFT U CAN STILL HOLD THE BIRD IN UR RIGHT HAND, AND USE UR LEFT TO GET ITS LEG, I AM RIGHT HANDED BUT CAN STILL HOLD A BIRD IN ANY HAND,

BARRS IRON BREW, FULL OF GIRDERS

Hyacinth u will always get problems with the fly Fifers and the Dundee weavers lol

READ ONCE JIMMY U SHOULD ALWAYS USE COLD WATER AS HEAT TAKES SOMETHING AWAY, CAN'T REMEMBER THE FULL STORY BUT THE HEAT TAKES ONE OF THE THINGS IT HAS OUIT OF IT,

ALL THE BEST WESTY THEY ARE GOOD LOOKING BIRDS,

YEH ALL HIS FRIENDS ARE MISSING HIM, LET HIM KNOW WE ARE ALL ASKING AFTER HIM, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS RETURN TO THE FORUM AND GETTING BETTER, THE FIFER.

what about birds returning from the races, if they are so many hrs after lib they must be put into icelation for 3 weeks, this dose not count for the long races, so what if u get a stray in how do u know how long its been out,

cheers bruno, yes i find it in the bath water a must, a lot cheeper than bath salts, although i must admit i use them now and then, but not to keep my birds kleen as its so easy to do with garlic in the bath.

I GOT THIS INFO FROM A NEWS REPORT FROM "PIPA PIGEON NEWS" A BELGIUN WEB SITE, IF ANYONE WANTS A COPY PM UR e-mail ADDRESS I WILL SEND IT ON.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT FRENCH FANCIERS COULD BE ALLOWED TO RACE IN 2006, AND HOPE'S THAT BELGIUM AND HOLLAND WILL BE ALLOWED INTO FRANCE FOR RACING.

YES RICHARD BUT ITS LIKE MINE, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MOVE, AND I THINK IT'S GOT A NOTE FOR ME WHY IT WAS LATE,

LOOKING AT THE AVITAR I THINK MY PIGEONS HAVE BEEN MIXING WITH THE LOCAL CROWS

OK CLOCKMAN MY AVITAR ON THE LEFT IS ONE OF MY BIRDS ENTERED FROM FIFE. what chance have u now lol

WOULD IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AS THE ROYALS ARE INTO BLOOD SPORTS ARE THEY NOT

I WOULD LEAVE THEM JUST IN CASE BUT U SHOULD BE ABLE TO TEL BY LISTENING OR BY THE FEEL IN UR HAND IF BIRD IS DEAD IN SHELL THE EGG WILL SEEM TO ROLL ABOUT IN UIR HAND IF OK WILL LIE FIRM, THIS IS SOMETHING WHICH COMES WITH EXPERIENCE, BUT BREEDING EARLY GIVES U THESE PROBLEMS EGGS GETTING CHILLED WITH ALL THIS COLD WEATHER, AS I WRITE THIS WE HAVE ABOUT 6-7INS OF SNOW AND STILL FALLING, NOT NATURAL FOR BIRDS BREEDING IS IT, THEY ARE MADE TO BREED IN THE SPRING, 21 DAYS IS WORTH ANOTHER 2-3, IF NOT LIFT THEM, MAYBE U GOT UR DATES WRON IN LAYING, BUT U SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL BY THE EGGS

WILL BE ON HARD FOOD, THE EASIEST WAY IS GIVING SMALL FOOD LIKE MAPLES WHEAT AND SMALL SEED, AND POUR IT INTO THEIR MOUTH WITH A BENT TEA SPOON, IF U WANT TO FEED LARGER LIKE BEANS THEN JUST OPEN THEIR MOUTH AND PLACE THEM INTO THEIR THROAT, I FIND THE FIRST IS BEST. U CAN EVEN WET THE FOOD WITH WARM WATER, THIS MAKES SURE THEY ARE ALSO GETTING WATER AND MAKES IT EASIER TO GO OVER,

LOOK AFTER UR SELF MATE HEAR FROM U WHEN U GET BACK ON LINE, ALL THE BEST THE FIFER.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE BULL SYSTEM WAS TO WAVE A RED FLAG IN FRONT OF UR LOFT TO GET THE BIRDS CHARGING HOME, ALWAYS WONDERED WHY MY CLUB MATES KEPT LAUGHING AT ME EVERY SATURDAY:-0
