Guest CINNAMON SPUNKMEYER Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 well lets just say each to their own.
nutverlal Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Posted April 28, 2009 thanks for all the messages but to clarify for the last time and close this chapter. We are not or ever have caught or sold birds, or even make threats to pigeons owners about any strays that we get. All racers are rehomed with transfer papers or returned to their owners. We keep all reported forms on file to prevent these kind of unfounded accusations. if you want look through the section for lost & found. How many pigeons reported by us ? many thanks

nutverlal Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Posted April 28, 2009 thanks for the reply and question. after speaking to many fanciers the policy is? if a bird is bought into the stray centre, we buy the bird of the seller ? it will then get fed and water. reported in the lost & found section on this site or to the secretray via the homing world. or to the rpra site. The owner will state what they want doing, collection, relise, transfer or death. there is a fix charge of £3.00. that covers the cost of the bird and board and lodging. before anything is said please note that this is what has been agreed with the clubs/flyers who stated and advised us of this. This is the only way of insuring the birds are returned.
pjc Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 interesting, i'll run this past a legal friend as if you are paying people for strays, birds that are not there proporty to sell then you could be prosecuted for handling stolen goods!

That is interesting because you are selling something that belongs to someone else so you could possibly be prosecuted . :-/
pjc Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 That is interesting because you are selling something that belongs to someone else so you could possibly be prosecuted . :-/ Exactly and do the local authority who issue his pest control licence know he is buying strays and reporting them as found/caught for profit as welll as probably being paid by the council etc?
Guest numpty01 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 yes that was pointed out but they charge 5 pound to cull if you tell them to let it go it goes rpra and you pay for it to be collected they admit they pay for strays should be locked up
Guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Posted April 28, 2009 Not to mention the possibility of these birds having/carrying PMV or any other virus.

nutverlal Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Posted April 30, 2009 thanks for the replies and messages most of the messages and responds are completely directed for someone else and not for us. we never catch birds, or cull birds. we do not work for the local authority. we provide a service for the local flyers. last year we returned a pigeon that belonged to a fancier that bought in the parents for eight thousand pounds. he lost one of their first young. We reported the young and he came and collected him. He offered more then £3.00 but we refused and only accepted the right money. We are not interested who, what blood line the birds are from. We are only interested in returning the birds as they may mean something to the rightful owner. Personally I keep pigeons, and if I lose them I would like them back. On occasions I see my birds in sky thefts lofts being breed of. They will not return. If this service is the only means of getting my birds back then so be it. Until there is a better method out there lets talks and use it. until then you can say what ever you like, as we all know, we want our birds back safely. many thanks your too in the sport.
