Peckedhen Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 In the hope that they realise the decline in garden birds is due to the protection orders on the raptors!
Guest beautyhomer Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 No chance,they will just be pleased that their protection policy is proving to work by increasing raptor numbers.They will just highlight the good points in the survey and conveniently forget about declining song birds. So no help from me,cannot be doing with interfering townies who no nothing about the countryside apart from their blinkered views.

Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Wowa, sorry Snowy I have to violently disagree with you here. The RSPB have been informed to my personal knowledge for at least 15 years as to what their freaking hawks are not only doing to the pigeons of The UK but also to the Native Songbirds, they do not take a blind bit of notice and still persue their intention of putting their precious hawks and falcolns into every town city and village in the Country. The RSPB have a lot more money in their bank account than most charities in the UK, the only way you can attack them is by disrupting their revenue source, by delving into their web page and finances to see where the corporate donations come from and picketing them when they have their flag days, how many little old ladies and gents for that matter will drop a few bob in their collecting boxes that have nice pretty songbirds pictured on the front not realizing that their contribution is funding the RSPB's insane raptor policies which will eventuall wipe the pretty little song birds out. If I was in England I would personally call the RSPB and inpolitely tell them to F$%k off with their precious bird watch. and I'll play duelling banjo's anytime any place anywhere for you.
snowy Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 THANK YOU PECKED HEN, was going to say to bubba homer i didnt think of his point which was a good one, but if he wants to try & make me look like himself, no brains there. then so be, ;D hyacinth, as i posted, was going to say to homer, good point of view , which i didnt realise, at the time of my first post, which i would have been glad for him to say " snowy, the rspb will love to think that their precious hawks are thriving & wont give a toss about pigeons" but i got a voilent! uncalled for " INTERFERING TOWNIES, WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE COUNTRYSIDE , WITH THERE BLINKERED VIEWS" so he & any other rude country bumpkin can carry on playing that banjo....
Guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Snowy are you referring to me as a country bumpkin, if so i really resent the inference.
snowy Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 hyacinth, i would never & why should i call you such a name, i respect you 100% as i do every other member on this forum, i am not one to slander anyone, but as i posted to beautyhomer, his rudeness was uncalled for & im not one to just sit & take it of him or anyone, i treat everyone with respect as long as they have the same respect for me. ;D
snowy Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Posted January 27, 2006 and i also didnt ask you to play dueling banjos for me neither

snowy Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Posted January 28, 2006 i am a bumpkin this year hope i race some this year i would also love to move to the country

So no help from me,cannot be doing with interfering townies who no nothing about the countryside apart from their blinkered views. it looks like you was talking about me in raising this topic, as you can see i was only trying to defend pigeons & wanted to let them know that there are more hawks around than they think & also let the public know, as they are secretive sneeky birds, & i have never seen a hawk before in the city untill i started up last year with my pigeons, when one attacked one of my birds 2 feet in front of my eyes, i understand your point 100%, after i started this topic, so i apologise 100% sincerly to yourself beauty homer, as i think we got our wires crossed.& too anyone else who i may of offended. regards, snowy snowy
Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Snowy I know your intentions were honourable in the first place, but people who have been in the sport for years know what the RSPB is all about. When I flew in The Rossendale Valley of Lancashire, we were plagued by three pairs of Peregrine Falcons they bred in captivity they settled in the old stone quarries. I personally lost 11 out of my 18 old bird team in 10 days. They were so paranoid about these falcons that they has watchers guarding their nests during daylight hours. I and several of my club mates contacted them to make them aware of what damage these birds were doing not only to the racing flocks but to the indigenous song bird population. Were they interested, not in the least and went totally on the defensive, so much so that I was under threat that if I was seen within a mile of the nests I would be slammed up, this threat came after I asked permission to recover pigeon rings from the nesting sites, it was very apparent that they did not want any form of publicity as to what mayhem their prized possessions were creating. The very mention of the RSPB makes me want to vomit.
PC Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Im suprised the rspb see any birds at all with thier heads stuck all the way up there !!
Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 One of club mates stopped to watch the RSPB and other officials release two peregrines near guildford one day. He mentioned to the RSPB officer that one of his friends had racers at the bottom of the hill where they were being freed, and to his amazement the officer said not for much longer. So I am afraid the RSPB can shove it up their **** if they want help. Considering the organisation stands for protecting birds, it seems only birds that can get them maximum publicity and monetary benefits fall in to this category. ®efuse to (S)tand up for (P)igeons and song (B)irds or ®ight (S)tupid (P)ratts (B)rigade you decide Darran P.S dont mean to offend anyone on here only RSPB
