Half the problem is the guys on the vans, they havnt a clue

anybody wanting to have a few fancy birds around or are after starting up with fancy birds DO NOT BUY FROM MARKETS OR BIRD AUCTIONS you will probably be buying a load of trouble. Contact the N.P.A who will put you in touch with the breed club Secratarywho will then put you in touch with local breeders who will put you on the right path with decent stock, and not culls.

Right Lads and Lasses, just to put you all on the right path. Indian Fantails are medium in size with large tails and muffs on there legs. Exhibition Fantail, are smaller bodied, have thweir heads down behind there chests with large tails and are clean legged. Garden Fantails are free flying with scalloped tails, usually seen around Dovcotes and only come in White, anything else is a Xbreed.

Left my Y.B to late lost a couple early on, but the rest are starting toget things together.

train them any direction, shouldnt do them no harm in the long run.

Slowly building up a family of Herman/ jannsen van loons from local fancier, Billy Heslop, (Heslop & M & D Evans) also have a family of Berlangee Delbars, and am shortly being gifted a number of out and out Distance birds from N Rigiani and Al Baker.

Spieght me boy, sorry to hear your ill, get well soon,and dont cheek the nurses.

This has been answered on page one rlez, cost would be astronomical.

I know for a fact that the NEHU are regulalary talking to DEFRA, may be it would have been a good issue for the Confederation to work on.

Dont see why we cannot race (Inland) so lets not get carried away, until there is a definite outbreak of AI in this country, lets carry on as normal and stop putting more unwanted obstructions in the path of racing.

Mr Bryant HAS sent out a number of Press realeses, however if the press dont want to print it, you cannot force them. And a Large Advertisment in a National Paper would cost thousands of pounds. The members would never stand for it.

What type of fantail do you want, India, Exibition or garden.

Upside down Right Leg, easy for everyone.

Hit the nail on the head, Jimmy.

The Equinox programmes are usualy very good, basing their research on Facts rather than hearsay, it all depends on which side of the fence the Experts are sitting.

A very emotive subject, which should not be brushed under the carpet and kept quiet about, it is the most distastfull side of Pigeon Racing, but it is something that has to be done, however now a days there are tools which can be bought that do the job quickly and efficiently and i feel that, to keep on the good side of the ANTIS every club should purchace one and the members use it instead of the usual methods of suppresion.

Bought a Loft Coat at Blackpool this year, will wear it when the weather gets warmer.

Just like to let you all know, 2 men have been arrested about this crime, hope the lads find out their names.

Peter Bryant may have sent out a press release to the media with all the latest FACTS and scientific evidence about Racing Pigeons and AI, but i very much doubt that the PRESS will read or publish it, it will alay peoples fears and they wont sell papers. better to keep sending out spuriouse statements and keep the public in a state of panic, the public want to know what is happening so they buy the papers. Doesnt matter that half of whats published is untrue.

Read an interesting article in the Featherd World magazine by David Bland, tells things as they realy are.

The Pedigree of a bird should not be the be all and end all, all birds should be tested to the fullest and thoughs that dont messure up should be disposed of, and also the birds that bred them.

Will do the boxes once a day, and the floor every couple of days, use a scattering of silver sand on the floor.

I really feel for you guys that are pestered with Peregrines, maybe Rockets are an answer to the problem.

Just sent an Email off to the daily star giving them my feeling of their lame brain reporting. would urge you all to do it.
