seen a post on pigeon chat saying that its now on pob sites about the facebook group thought it wouldnt be long before somthink like this happened what makes me anoid is there proof in the picture yet the still take the micky just goes to show what ever you try to do always gets thrown back into your face i wounder what they would feel like if the pob was out flying and and another bird of prey attcked there bird and killed it what would they feel like i bet they will feel absolute gutted like any pigeon fancier does when all the time and effort has gone by try to breed from your best and give them the best start in life only for an attack to throw them down the pan due attack when a bird of prey attacks even if it dont catch anythink the stress it courses nock the birds for 6 and wonce the birds start getting nervus and jumpy everytime there out exerciseing you be constantly looseing a constant battle as as soon as they land a slight movementwill have them back up flying and before you no it you will loose the bond with your birds.

i belive that the blood sports groups etc will use the photos against us  as in regards we know what will happen if we race them

 

not my views of course but we have seen how they twist things

 

but would not condem   anyone that is trying  

[Roland]

Hope it was treated before sent training  

[Guest mick bowler]

I do feel sorry for those that are suffering but what really was expected? Last year must be one of the worse for "hits" or documented ones anyway, so this year was always bound to be worse if nothing was done.

 

With most fanciers its kind of what you cant see you dont worry about, in the way that the winter has sent an awful lot of fanciers absent minded. This is a problem that is here to stay, FACT, and the most it will be prevelant is the training/racing season. As with most of this sport, the winter time is when you do a lot of sorting out and get rid of the problems and dont just sit and wait for it to start reaccuring. Charity begins at home and look after number one, if everyone took care of our local problems there would be a lot less of these threads.

 

There are ample ways we can all do our bit, and until we all do, then this type of thread is going to become even more common.

 

[pjc]

plenty of tipplers etc about for winter flying/feeding   ;)

[Roland]

Agreed Mick. And as for 'Another moves in'  :-/ where from if everyone did their bit

Yes always others moving in, but a fanciers work is never done and never rest on your laurels!

 

 

[wayfieldlofts]

can you please tell me the name of the group on facebook as i am on there...thanks

[Guest Owen]

I can not see why you are concerned about a bunch of bullies on face book. If they want to come up with smart comments and stupid remarks, why worry about it. It is themselves they are making to look stupid.

Our agreed aim is to send a message to the General Public because they will, in the end, decide what we will end up with. I think we should give this strategy a good go before we call it off.

I my past I got to know quite a few of the dog and rabbit brigade. I used to find them trying to catch rabbits on my land and ripping the walls down as they did so. On one occasion they left a dog behind, which killed 14 of my lambs. The Owners were typical of the sort of people you are going on about. I had to suffer their threats and loud mouths until I dealt with them. The main loud mouth have trouble talking with his broken jaw. The others went very quiet afer that.

History tells us about the "millions upon millions" of American Passenger Pigeons.  So many (they reckoned) that it was impossible to count them, they just never stopped streaming past on their migrational flights Spring and Autumn.

But the guns started shooting them for fast food, and eventually the last one was shot. They became extinct. Now all they have are photos of them.  One day there may come a time when it will be impossible for "another one to move in . . ."  because there won't be another one.  If there are enough determined people to ensure it.

[Guest Davy Fleming]

Even taking them 80 miles away and liberating them they still come back so what chance have we got . Better not say too much as getting to see the red mist in front of me just thinking about one getting caught and the pain it causes them .

[Guest Owen]

Fragimento, now you are telling it as it should be. Well done man.

[sooty]

SHU study last year was a lot of crap 2 i sent in lots of sheets with times of strikes never got word back

[rasbull]

Just to clarify I will be deleting anyone who interferes with the Facebook group. The Facebook Action page is purely a showcase for the carnage these birds are doing to our sport and the songbird population. I am not interested in debate, other causes as there are plenty of places on the internet these discussions can take place. This is purely for songbird lovers, pigeon fanciers to express there feelings  and post pictures etc, so members of the general public can see exactly what is happening. Anyone trying to sabotage the page as I said will be banned permanently. I have a banned list of 76 so far, and comments, postings etc are being deleted as soon as they are seen by myself and Admins. The only comments I can not control are comments made by other people if someone other than myself has posted a picture. But as soon as a bad comment is made, the person making it is banned. Once the hawk enthusiasts have been banned it will be plain sailing.
