Understand where you are coming from Frank but probably most of these birds have a problem anyway in

 

the fact they are lost in the first place. You will always get fanciers that care and the one that doesn't but unfortunately that is the society we live in so we just accept it . Unfortunately. Because it will never ever change . Same as at a club house on a frday night there are workers and there are the rest. However I respect your view mate ;)

If the person could phone the owner this would be a lot easier, either, for the fancier to go over and pick it up, maybe that person will be training birds that day not far from the person who has the bird in.

 

Well done ferry1, your help is much appreciated by some fanciers,  :)

yes thats what i was thinking but it is happening i would rather just phone the no to get it away from me asap and not risk the bird mixing with potentialy sick birds in the stray center  and spread it all over the place as davy says the strays are there 9 times out of ten because they are ill to start with not all but most

maybe you lads could keep a lookout for gb09d derwent valley  birds as well as we have had a lot of loses as well, thanks

 

goes without saying

i collected birds from davy last year for the north o scotland fed and the birds were in excellent condition, it was down to poor weather at the forth that these birds didnt return, most flyers were glad to have their y/birds back so after arniston i will be visiting davy again, he does a brilliant job for the birds.

i dont dissagree whith you but davy cant  tell if just 1 bird in they crates is ill then its too late 20/or more have been in close contact with it thease birds they are then moved into seperate fed baskets and when sent back to feds and before long its all over the place and even if some one has payed good money to get his loft clear only to be re infected the following week in the race basket the stray center was a good thing 4/5 years ago but with all thats doing there rounds just now i think its time is over sory davy just my oppinion

surely when you get your bird back you would isolate it for a week just to be on the safe side,thats what i do, only to pleased to get them back

Pleased that your example has shown this '9/10 strays are strays because they are sick' to be dangerous rubbish. Weather is such an unpredictable thing nowadays, and a big factor in birds not being able to get home. Being downed & out and about in the wild for a few days, they can pick things up, and they can become sick - because they have been strays (in the wild) not the other way about. That's why they need to go into isolation at home for a couple of days, just to watch them.

What a load of crap your saying about the strays being sick, utter crap, i had a bird from the stray centre last week, it was there for around a week to ten days, got the bird back, isolated her, next morning checked her droppings they were perfect, so what are you slavering about the birds being sick birds,

 

How many a bird had came back from the stray centre, and the following year turned out to be one of the best guys bird in his loft as a yearling, i no a few, so talk sence IB.  :P

Ive had quite a few back over the years and to be honest can remember any of any worth.

most just went down againat some point. prefer to concentrate on the ones that come home themselfs and if that only a few so be it.  At least i can depend on them

yes ive heard this aswell but personaly i am not willing to take the chance with my birds but if some one else does it and my birds are in the same basket on a frid then iam wasting my time thats why we need all fanciers to do the right thing but we both know thats not going to happen some think that no,s are everything thats one of the reasons thease problems will continue and get worse a winner at all cost thats not for me

Try reading it again, and the thread with it. I didn't say that, others did, and like yourself, I voiced an opinion that what they put forward as fact, was wrong. But I didn't suffer from 'foot in mouth disease' disputing it.

Here we have a guy spending his time picking up birds to help them on there way to get home and fanciers moaning about it think yourselfs luck that ferry is helping the birds you should be thanking him not putting hurdles in his way
