Totally agree, I had a huge problem 3 years ago and would always use an Avian vet, luckily I am equally between Perth and Edinburgh where they have both DEFRA and good avian vets

Like I said you are probably right, if you look at his other items for sale he looks a bit suspect but you never know :-/

That may be true but not all vets are good and not all testing stations are bad, time and feedback normally sorts them out from the rest, do you not think vets are capable of pulling fast ones as well :-/ Although reading it more in this case you may be right

True but even though the likes of crows are classed as vermin it is against the law to kill them :-/

True but the PC brigade will not admit to them taking small birds despite their name "Sparrow Hawk" and there are others that do not accept they touch pigeons because of their name :-/

Maybe if they pre posted in plenty time when the likes of Fife Federation nights were on instead of post posting what a great night it was then maybe more would attend :-/

It would be good if all vet's were up on avian treatment but they are not, some of these testing centres are very good, again not all :-/

Surely as the name implies "Sparrow Hawk" it's main diet is not just pigeons :-/

They say you can get almost anything on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220275216471&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D220275216471%26_fvi%3D1

Poor old Vic Even when I am skint I will be richer by far for the things I have learned along the way

RSPB have a very powerful lobby, they have a huge membership due to their PR and cute advertising, not only bird watchers but the public as well who will never see half the birds they are paying to protect. you can bet your life they will be lobbying the government to put pressure on DEFRA to reverse it's decisions, bearing in mind they are only relaxing the rules regarding ringing captive birds in schedule 4

Just because you cannae spell does not make you thick, although there are the exceptions ;D
