Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks Tarzan! Incidentally Guys, this is the bird I referred to in a previous post, that carries an ets ring, and at the time I said it wasn't stamped. I have fed it for a week and it still wont budge. Could one of you Jocks explain to Vic, the reason for not stamping old birds. Seems strange to me somehow.

Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 sec is a mr martin 01698 281428 and is from scotland Thanks to carlsberg as well.
ALF Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Thought you was going say because you cant read alf ;D hasnt the nehu got same rule they dont wing stamp
ALF Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Vic gave Benny a phone he is 1 of lifes good guys and will get it sorted out for you
Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 It's an SHU rule Vic as simple as that mate I know that Alf, but for what reason? Surely a stamped pigeon, cuts out the red tape, that goes with it. And another point. I have had many Scottish strays in over the years, but I can't remember any being double rubbered. Is it because? .................... No! I'd better not say it. lol. Vic.

Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Remember on my original post, I had a feeling it was not an English bird, hence the WISE? insertion, which obviously stands for the four GB countries.
lucia220103 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Hi, I've had a bird in the garden since Friday, ring number is GB 06 J(?) 67790. He is eating wild bird food and will take it from my hand, he just wont go home! I did have him contained because of the cat, he had a good rest, food, water, I let him go and he was back the following morning. Is it true that if they are reunited with their owner that they are destroyed because they can't be raced anymore? Please advise? Linda

JADE Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 It's an SHU rule Vic as simple as that mate but south lanarkshire are affiliated to rpra so this bird should be stamped if it belongs to an rpra member (or can they pick and choose which rules they follow?)
Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Vic gave Benny a phone he is 1 of lifes good guys and will get it sorted out for you I had a talk with Bernie, (a very nice guy) who told me that it was registered, (last year) in the name of Henry Ralston, who through illness has retired from the game. So rather than complicate matters, I will report it to the RPRA. He said that the bird should have been stamped, because it carries a GB ring.(RPRA Rules). And he reckons the reason why Scottish OBs aint stamped, has something to do with your stray centre.
Guest Vic Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 May Vic add, that at marking night our birds can be checked by the handler at any time. On verification, of winning birds, if not stamped. DISQUALIFIED!
DJ Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 wherabouts are you in east sussex lucia im in crawley near gatwick airport so maybe i could help ive sent you a pm debbie
Guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 I think its a fair point about marking but ive had about ten strays in over this season only two with either stamp/fone ring and that one i phoned for 5 nights with no ans. so its not just scottish rpra members that doesnt do it its a great no of english as well and the no of shu birds without wing stamp are every bit as bad all my birds carry a phone ring ive even had then come home minus that rather than phone me they take it off and though it out its time fanciers stoped being so childish taking off phone rings /ets rings and start helping one another to get lost birds back if the fancier wants them
gangster Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 this is what bewteds ideas all about helping repatreate lost birds......and yes its not just a scottish problem of no stamping!!!!!!!!!
Guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Vic, you can download copies of previous ring lists here: http://www.rpra.org/MemberSupport/RingList/tabid/85/Default.aspx
DUBLINFLYER Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Remember on my original post, I had a feeling it was not an English bird, hence the WISE? insertion, which obviously stands for the four GB countries. i don't think this is a WISE post..... VIC!!!!!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN MATE WOT "4" GB COUNTRIES YOU ARE REFERRING TO. certainly you could not be thinking of EIRE/IRELAND IN THIS UNWISE POST ??)
Guest Vic Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Er..............................................................................................NO.
Guest Vic Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 The bird apparently is registered to a Mr Starrs from Hamilton in Scotland. The RPRA have no phone no. from him. Seeing they can't give me his address by phone, it seems that I will have to wait till tomorrow for his details, unless one of you guys can give me his phone number, if he has one.
Guest Vic Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Mr Starrs as been on the phone to me, thanks (I think) to Bernie. Regretably he says that he will be giving pigeons up this year, and he has left the issue in my hands. The bird is a grizzle (cock) he says. If anybody is interested, PM me. I will give it a few more days. Cheers, Vic.
