THE FIFER

yes they went into liquidation,

all the best m8, look forward to ur 2009,

just tried that Richard and it works.

just right click anywhere on the thread and click on print on the drop down,

I think this post explains all, and I am sure any seller will be happy regarding the sites regulations on selling, and they are made aware of them before they do, so its up to them if they want to sell or if they have any questions I am sure Gemma will be only too pleased to answer them, and I am sure they will be happy to use the site for selling their birds with success.

I had resigned so was not at the AGM when it should have been read, did,nt even know it had,nt until I was told it was never read out.

I did try but the members would have none of it, they did'nt want meetings to instruct delegates, why because the old method had went on for years before I took over and I did call a meeting once and only 3 turned up so meeting cancelled, also it starts at club level Its them that instruct their FED delegates what to do at Fed meetings, and this has never been done in the Fed for years and years if ever at all, and the Fed officials are the SHU delegates another thing that went on for years which is wrong, SHU delegates should be from the body of the hall, from the members, one man cant change what 400 members dont want them to, thats how I could,nt change anything and if my resignation letter had been read out to the members as it should have been, they would have known that this was one of the reasons I resigned,

I think the main cuase of losses is due to clashing, also training in large numbers IE, if you are training say 60-80 youngsters together, how much are homing and how much are following, and if you are going to train with a training trailer which is liberating say 200-300- birds for a 30ml toss all going to the same area, how many are using their own homing instinks, nothing wrong with mass tosses as long as they have been trained before hand in small groupes,

I think we haven taken away too much of the racing pigeons natural habits, IE: making them moult when we want, be with their mates when we want, etc etc. also breeding in the month of December, what birds naturally breed then ?

Delegates are messangers and should be mandated by their members what to do as per agenda, how many organisations do this,???

in the SHU you must have a loft housing iether racing pigeons or show pigeons, so you must have birds,

do you supply boxes.

cheers m8, yes I thought I read something on this line, we will never know if it works or not if we dont put it into practise,

I have a blue cock paired to a blue ch hen, all but one youngster are blue ch and all hens, the one blue they bred was a cock, but all they mostly breed are hens and blue ch.

I thought it was past now that if you are getting problems with birds of pray in a town you can apply to get it moved, ??? I'm sure I read this in the BHW just recently ???, a bit from Linda Brookes,

Hi m8 I just sent you a PM, could you answer it , cheers.

any money you dont spend you should return, this is in the agreement unless you notify the awards and get permission to make changes. but personally I dont think in the interest of the Pigeon sport that this thread is the place to discuss or bring out things in the open, it can only put doubt on the pigeon fanciers,

thats right, its the loft you must treat, bleach or creosote is a good thing, some old beer mats dipped in creosote and placed under nest bowls will keep them away from the youngsters. or creosote around the edges of your floors, I prefer whashing your floors with bleach water, and make sure your floors are dry before letting birds back in, also spray nest boxes with it as well.

you can be affiliated to a larger organisation, BUT you must have your own set of CLUB rules, and one thing on them Must be if you disband your club , anything left after settlement will go to another organisation similar to yours,

you could use bleach to spray the loft and nest boxes, but make sure its dry before the birds get in the loft, I mix it with water,

no its a house now, some of the shelled walls are still there, and the old shell bus, must take some picks and put them on the photo board for you.

OVER THE FORTH update at 1145, good warm sunshine, clear, can see over the FORTH, from LEVEN beach. click on photo to enlarge

VIEW OVER THE FORTH update at 0900, haze cleared good visability, sun out still very little wind, looking good.

VIEW OVER THE FORTH, 0825, broken cloud with sun out, visabilty: a bit haze in the distance and over the water, but should clear with the sun coming up, looking good, weather pionter showing EAST but there is very little wind, will do another report later as I think it will be good,

I think the bird in the first photo is a bit long in the beak for a Kormorner,
