The power of the businesses, thats probably why the ban was lifted just before Blackpool this year, 2007 that is

I think the silent one should come forward, but now that Robbie has posted the snippet, he should name him in time :-/ Or at least the club :-/

It's a case of fighting their corner and covering their backs, imagine if they never took any steps and the flu spread by one they missed, we the public would hang them:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

That is one of the major points on an exhibition fantail, head well back

Exactly Just a thought, if that one loft is auctioning it's birds then they will be going to different lofts after the sale, why risk your stock buying any birds at this time, you would have to be very certain where they are coming from And with it being the type that can pass on to humans and it is discovered in wild birds, consider the risk to you and your loved ones, no pigeon is worth that for me anyway

We have some we will be breeding next year, hopefully pure whites, or do you want a particular colour, the one in the pic is a saddleback

Good pics Steph, one you cross them they come out with all or any of the the variations, quif on head, feather feet, icicle tails, posture We have ones that on nest mate has feathered feet the other nest mate has the quif Same old argument about true breeding of types there is none, just what we develope them into, only have big tails because we make them that way through selective breeding The one on the left has no quif or feathered feet, it would have been considered a cracking Garden Fantail in the past. The one on the right is now more like a garden fantail of late, as not as many people keeping them and the large tail being lost through natural elements, hawks take the ones with the big tails first as they are easier to catch, so through time the straighter tails survive naturally

We could say that about a lot of threads, why have a forum, if you can just phone someone to find out the answers :-/

I am at home tomorrow, I am making a photographing pen for taking pictures of birds, and will take and post pics of the different types, Chickadee has them all now :'( :'( :'(

He's old and posted the same pic twice :(

Aye, no in parkheed it's no :D

Where and when is your show Cemetary

I noticed you took the ladder away ya cruel sh**

If it is, it will be a kick in the teeth to many, especially the ones cancelled at the same time

Aye, the big wigs should be fighting every corner >

How much rain do you get if any :)

If Avian flu is here for any length of time there will be a lot more culling :'(

Propotionally there is a lot of money to be lost with any show, the one commong up at Cupar in Fife is on it's final chance I hear, this could be the nail in the coffin for it, some on this w/e will have paid for halls, accomodation, buses ect so might be a great loss to these people, Peter Bryant or whoever should be fighting their corner as well not just the prime events. "Without the roots the mighty tree will fall"

Aye not sure of the spelling but someone on here will correct it no doubt

Nobody said you kept rubbish, you cull the rubbish :-/
