BIGPETE Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Bang a pic up. Is it an olden or a youngen? Seem to be getting a lot of late bred strays in just now myself. There needs to be some sort of permanent ring introduced that can be attached to the pigeon even if its past the ringing age. Ok it wouldn't/shouldn't be allowed to race on that ring. But there should be a ring database for pigeon rings for those who have missed ringing and are breeders or "pets" surely. Something less then a birth/racing ring, but something that wont fall off or break etc and is traceable. If the racing unions weren't so backwards this would have happened 10+ years ago :emoticon-0179-headbang: Like all our "charity" raised money not being spent on reducing the bop and preserving our sport.

A telephone number ring may have been on this bird and has somehow been removed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattydoos79 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I will post picture tomorrow if I can on this site but it’s just 2 plain red and blue ez ring but no registered ring like su or gb etc must have been an escaped stock bird, but if it was my birds I would put my su rings on no matter if it’s racing or not. If I was late in the ringing I would put stamp on wing or telephone ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
