[Guest HighSpeedLofts]

[Guest G.Drysdale + son]

[gangster]

[Guest HighSpeedLofts]

What i have pigeons and race them dosent that make me a pigeon man and he dosent have a breeding eye  he was a racer

[Guest asha]

Can`t see why you need a life ring nowadays,with an ets on its leg  why have a year ring,just threaten to take the RPRA to court(small claims) saying you will have to kill the bird if the union does not let you race it,you will drive a JCB through every rule in the book,and the RPRA will run for cover,try it,cost you peanuts£28 ,but could bankrupt RPRA within a short time.

This maybe the case but ETS rings can be moved from bird to bird! With no life ring it could be a different bird going to the race each week flown under the same ring number!

[Guest HighSpeedLofts]

HAS HE WON OUT IF SO BREED OF HIM

 

hes had 1 win and a few minor posisions in the club what would you suggest and does anyone know what might have caused his leg to swell there was no visible signs of injury apart from where the ring was digging in to his leg

[pjc]

So what??????   does it really matter????   an ETS ring is all that`s needed,life rings way out of datew,only reason the jokers in head office RPRA  let it continue is to pay their wages ,and wine and dining,on the backs of members who get ripped of paying over the odds for liferings.

[Guest HighSpeedLofts]

do you keep you birds on deep litter shavings?

just in the winter time

 

 

[little sam]

If its won try it in the Stock Loft, I only have one pigeon out of every single bird in my loft that has a so called 'Breeding Eye' Upto you but i know what i would have done  

[pjc]

just in the winter time

 

 

Some birds have larger legs than others, dust and dead skin can build up under the ring, dust and particles from shavings are worst until there is preasure on the leg which causes it to swell. You could have given the bird an appertex tablet which would have reduced the swelling then you would have been able to clean out under the ring with either a matchstick or darning needle and saved the need to remove the ring.

what club are you a member of

[pjc]

it reduces the fluid content and will reduce the swelling! If you get another one then try it, give an appertex then 24hrs latter you will be able to turn the ring!
