Culling is just one part and may be the start of the PC brigade controlling what we say, just incase we incriminate ourselves by them using what we say to make every pigeon keeper a culling machine :-/

1. The birds will nest anywhere with or without nesting material 2. Depends on the cock, most will pair up with one hen and if left they stay with that hen, but not always. You can control the pairing and have the cock paired with a number of hens

Maybe a simple case of, if number six is not getting then the five others withdrew due to one of the existing members threatening to resign because he had a beef with one of the new members??????

I think that is fair, not their fault you took so lomg, unless the birds were not as described, breed, colour etc something that would not change in the 3 months, unlike health etc that could change. What is it you are not happy about?

I agree that certain things are left unsaid, but anything we find out that even shocks us, should be discussed SOMEWHERE on the site Maybe we should have a discussion board that is open only to invited members or level of member ie veteran, oldbird for example, nothing underhand, JUST IF ME YOU AND OTHER MEMBERS WANT TO DISCUSS A TOPIC THEN IT CAN BE LOCKED OR CLOSED TO OTHERS, LIKE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION OR AND EXPANDED PRIVATE MESSAGE SHARED BETWEEN MEMBERS AT LEAST SOMETHING OTHER THAN BEING FRIGHTENED TO DISCUSS MATTERS BECAUSE OF THE POLITICALLY CORRECT BRIDADE ARE FRIGHTENED IT MIGHT UPSET SOMEONE HISTORY IS FULL OF IT TO SOME EXTREME CASES :-/ ONLY A SUGGESTION :-/ :-/ :-/

Do they have a policy when you buy for changing or returning birds?

Not at that level, they have aseasonal quota and hire out the guns for huge profits :(

Agree or just too far gone :-/

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The butcher at the estate was one of my ex judo kids and I got the info from him, I was at Boat of Garten RSPB site where they have the ospreys and the guy was spouting off about wildlife preservation, and me being me dropped the clanger on the bell, never seen a guy so fluent in English going so quiet in zero seconds :D :D

Comeon Davey nobody thought for a minute you were like the Crooxy, that was posted in jest and we are all guilty of it and to the bone sometimes. I have had the sympathy vote then the get aff yer pedestal then the jibes about it, even from Chickadee, I would have a hard neck to try and silence the hecklers. I think the wind up merchant that done it was trying to tar you or get you biting and he did, wasnae me but wish it was ;D ;D ;D

Why, hide the truth, why not fight to make these people aware of their actions on our sport The fact is we are all in the game for different reasons, from love and enjoyment to ruthless business descissions. The same in any walk of life RSPB were at Rothymurcus estate in Aviemore on a deer shoot for a team building exersize killing poor weee Bambi's. We are all capable of criticism :-/

Rubbish, I thought the thread was a wind up from the beginning and I PM'd DaveyB to see if it was him, because like me he has done his fair share :-/ :-/ :-/

I agree with the post being kept and the vast majority objecting to culling birds and only doing so in a humane way for the right reasons Letting the spies know that we are objecting to this And if you notice who suggested starving the birds for 48 hours, of you delete the post this goes unoticed by others :-/

You won't be able to speak on the site incase it offends someone or can be used against us shortly :-/ If you are ashamed of what happens in your sport then do something about it, don't just delete it and hide it :-/

How is that then?

High if not certain :-/

Has anyone ever thought of treating the mice for ailments that they carry :-/ :-/ :-/

A lot of people are buying whites like they are going out of fashion for the release business, not fussy if they win or not.

Ok cheers Steph

I went to get four whites today after being promised them yesterday, Chickadee and four greeting kids later. I got one because he took another look at them and decided to keep them :'( :'( :'( :'( Stick your speculation and accumulation ;D

Nothing unhealthy, he posted before saying birds were all lost in one day while out flying

So, if the legs are thicker than normal, should the rings not be wider than normal?

Aye and if you notice all the whites are sold from £90 upwards http://www.louella.co.uk/salelist.php?view=2

Are the rings you use bigger than normal for these ones?
