DOVEScot

Na, we would never attack the afflicked :D

Check with your local club, you may find they are ETS(electronic timing system) friendly :-/

It must depend how same the feel when roosting :-/ mines in the loft head into it where as the cotes take off. They instintively know the difference, between which type of potential predator. a buzzard (which we have loads of in our area) which do not attack our birds does not bother them, a sparrow hawk (even though it is a blip in the sky) they are totally different. We have only lost one bird and two birds attacked but they survived, to a hawk in the last three years :-/

Our ones are the same because they are out a lot, the ones in the cotes are basically white ferals that we feed and treat. the ones in the lofts are a mix of fancy and racers I could catch the fancies :D , but the racers take there cue from the ones in the cotes It has been know for a hawk to devistate a race as the other pigeons are going frantic the minute one pigeon is attacked, not sure if this is normal or the fact that they are too well protected

How, what is the best one, may need one for Cabin Boy, hoping to study them at Blackpool

I think it is true what some say about protecting the birds too much, if they never learn about hawks (not sure of the best way to do it :-/) they become easy pickings. It's funny how you can take a feral from the nest and introduce it into the loft and it still has an inbuilt instinct to avoid hawks

You could keep a hawk in there :D

TRY WRITING THAT WHEN YOU DINNAE DRINK :D BAD ENOUGH WITH ETS

When are you getting a bigger loft brianm;D ;D ;D

SECRETS OUT!!!

NOTHING ON THE WEB YET ONLY THIS INFO Bluetongue confirmed as circulating in South East England Defra confirmed on 28 September that Bluetongue disease is circulating between the local animal and midge population in East Anglia. The announcement followed epidemiological investigation of several cases of the disease and took account of surveillance results. The first case was detected on 22 September. The disease has now spread to other parts of South East England. The disease, caused by a virus spread by midges, affects ruminants but not pigs, horses or humans. Check the declarations and maps to see if your premises are in a Zone. All movement licence conditions for both Bluetongue and, where appropriate, Foot and Mouth Disease must be complied with. Surveillance and epidemiological investigations are continuing.

I used to have an embroidery business that I sold to a guy in Dundee, I am not sure if he still runs it. We are going to Dundee tomorrow and I will visit him and see what I can do, a long shot but worth a try, other than that embroiderers are 3-4 weeks waiting and won't do one offs, even if you wanted hundreds then you would still be struggling, a trip to Tennerefe and they have a machine on the beach that will do it for you :D I had a look on ebay but none there

You have left it a bit late, earlier I could have got it embroidered right onto a jacket, I will look and see if I have any stock badges left, I will let you know if I do

I hope your no letting yer bird out again if I do :D

Contentment, I may need to get a bigger cage

Here is on who has been sparrow hawked twice, realy badly, she stayed in the hut that Chickadee has for isolating birds in cages. She was kept in till she recovered and thaen we just left the cage door open, today for the first time she joined the rest from the cotes in the bath She seems to be keeping her head low for the time being :D
