Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Q11. What about sales of birds? A. Sales of birds from single sources (such as dispersal sales from a single pigeon loft), direct sales and sales from pet shops will still be permitted. Sales from exhibitions, shows, fairs or other gatherings will not be allowed.

Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Have you more info on the Panorama programme, Jimmy, is it a report or a panel & audience type of thing?
Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Seems to be spread over two Sundays 6th & 13th. Invitations to appear / ask questions on the 13th's programme at address below: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/4382868.stm#
Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Scotland - ban on shows etc News item on Scottish Executive website, relevant paragraph below. Gatherings of other birds including poultry, waterfowl, pigeons and exotic species, such as parrots, are considered to be higher risk. Licences for these will not at present be issued. The licence conditions will be kept under review and higher risk events may be permitted once further biosecurity guidance has been agreed. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/News/Releases/2005/11/01091904

Mistifire Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 :B Whoops dont know why it posted my message so many times... My work computer was giving me some trouble that day :
methilman Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 dose the foram think blackpool will still go on
showman Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Can't see there being a 'show' as such although due to primary investment Blackpool as an event will probably go ahead. I would doubt that there will be pigeons for sale either. Paul C.
speedbird Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 thats right showman got friends over in blackpool & that was mentioned the other day on radio wave the local radio station
Mistifire Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 This is not pigeon related, but I was going to build a chicken coop for the rooster that is living in my bathroom, I am in the US. Do you think I should wait for the flu to settle down before starting the coop and putting the bird outside? I dont want him to get sick and I also dont want anyone panicing about having a chicken close and having him taken or killed for testing.
speedbird Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 i would wait or after seeing a programme on tv tonight a chef on there was rearing turkeys & he put a plastic shhet over the top to prevent wild bird droppings geting into the coupe
Mistifire Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 Thanks speedbird, I think I will wait and keep him inside. I just wish that since hes in the bathroom all day that he would learn to use the toilet! Lucky we have 2 bathrooms. It is funny to see the look we get from guests when we explain why they cant use the upstairs bathroom though. This whole flu issue is a mess.. I hope they find a way to set it right soon.
speedbird Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 just looking at another thread & silverdale mentioned that we had this scare here before in 1997 which i briefly remember & he said we had to inject our birds then so why is been blown out of preportion now!!!
Guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 the cost the rpra have had to pay to rent the wintergardens will be to high for them to pull the plug completley they will stil lget the fee fro mthe traders and im not sure if the winter gardens takes the entrance fee and then splits it? not sure on that one, but all im getting at is the rpra (which is us the members) cant afford to cancel as it would cost us thousands.
THE FIFER Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 Blackpool will go ahead the only thing is the pigeon show and sales could still be off, but who knows what will be come January, just all lets hope.
Guest Doostalker Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 An update here on what is going on in Australia, with reference to imports of pigeons from Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/10/26/australia-canbirds051026.htm
celtic Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 It did,nt take them long to make a definite decision did it.
Guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 I wouldn't bet on the Australian / Canadian bird flu accord lasting any longer than it took the ink to dry on the agreement. Note that the date was 26th October, and as recently as 3rd November, avian flu (type unconfirmed) has been confirmed in 'hundreds' of wild birds in two Canadian provinces. Think Gordon Chalmers will be busy soon on the home front.
Guest Silverwings Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 someone in the pub today told me today , that over in ireland ,they have banned all hen parties ?
Guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 Reckon it should be just the hens, Silv. ;D I'm all for parties, but lets face it, the gals just get in the road of the drink. ;D ;D I'm sure I'll regret this. :B
