kots1 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 as most of the su ones are reported south of the border where they race from i would say thats normal as all race south road the bulk of gb birds now race south se routes and possibly at the longer races would not be in this country to report.

ALF Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Am I right in saying that the SU dont allow wing stamping pigeons? It's not that they dont allow it Tony your y/b's are meant to be wing stamped for racing but you dont have to wing stamp your old birds mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDROCKET Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 you could be wrong on the wing stamping the wing stamping is allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IB Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 you could be wrong on the wing stamping the wing stamping is allowed It is a bit of a puzzle: SHU ruling is that all young birds MUST be wing-stamped prior to going in race basket. No such ruling for old birds, and nobody up here that I know of wing-stamps an old bird. Then for SNFC young bird National, SNFC don't allow any bird to be wing-stamped. They did publish a reason for it in the press: this race is a 2-day event and they didn't want the bird being reported 'lost' during the race. That doesn't wash with me, as that could happen to an unstamped bird, but direct to Union. I think it is down to security: nothing preventing a bird being 'found', direct contact made with owner and bird motored home in jig time to take a race position it did not win. And that goes for any wing-stamped pigeon in any race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUST BY LOOKING ON THIS SITE IVE SEEN 200 OR MORE BIRDS WITH THAT LETTERING ON THE RING? WHAT DO YOU THINK most are shu and whu?....i find that hardly likely to be a real figure thats lost...its just that the english birds dont get reported on here as much....try being in wales especially when the nwhu had their bad races recently..ive had 8 of them..plus many others ive heard of....and countless gb rings...hardly any shu though. and of course whu but not as many as gb. i realeased last week 9 strays in hereford all gb(from up country)...m8 realeased on diff day 5 another club m8 2. only 6 of the 16birds wingstamped and 2 with phone rings on all others nothing. also theres a big membership of scottish fanciers on here so them being reported is inevitable.
