Longstone Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Well first I would like to say hello to you all and tell you why I joined here, I am new to the world of pigeons and I started a year ago and I got back from holiday last night to find out that some sick person had broken into my hut and stole the whole of my birds. I was given them by a friend and I got attached to them..Know I just dont know where to start again and what is the best way for me to restart. Im based in Edinburgh Thanks in advance
pjc Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Sorry to here of your loss, there are some sick b'ss out there! What birds did you have and did they fly out? Phil
Longstone Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 It was horsemen....I let them out every few days....they where all stolen....
pjc Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 you may find that if its kid etc that have stolen them they may let them out in a few days and they may return! What have the police had to say? Phil
Longstone Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 It looks like to me that its been someone that knows what they are doing and dont think its been kids, the police said they can not do to much with out witnesses... I am so angry...
Longstone Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 Hey Hey one of my birds just came back...does that mean they will all come back. cheers
pjc Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 they may well do, whoever stole them is clearly trying to break them out to there loft! Phil
gangster Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 it also means they aint that far away as horsemans arnt a big distance flying bird???? maybe closer than you think????
pjc Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 I would also try in keep the one that returned out as much as you can as he will possibly pick up any others that are floating around! Phil
jimmy_84 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 they may do if they were flying in and out of your place the person who took them is trying to break them 1 at a time maybe or they all could be on there way back i had a hen return yesterday after nearly 8 months and she has had chicks in her new place and flown in and out so there is hope Have you seen the post by horseman he has had 8 pairs stolen from his place in edinburgh will pm him see if any of his have returned could be the same thief as you both in edinburgh and have horseman's
Longstone Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, I thought as much....I know a few people around my area who I thought a prime suspects.... TIME WILL TELL
gangster Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 when they all come back...spray them different colours ..they wont be so keen 2 keep them then easy 2 id them... ;)
Longstone Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 yes how do you colour them...i could put a mark on them
gangster Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 the 1s ive seen look like spray paint ...every other flight n tail feather
OLDYELLOW Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 yup sounds if the birds are very close to home
