personally i wouldnt pay for it... i wing stamp all mine also, and got one in stray basket this week, had the fancier bothered to phone i would have either collected the same day or arrange SPDS if it was two far away, i like to get them back asap... then there is a bit of hope getting them back to a race, as it turns out this pigeon struggled up to the landing board this morning probabaly due to wing stiffness due to sitting in a basket all week, so no chance getting him raced again this year, so thanks a bunch!!!
