Guest chrisss Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 A couple of hundred members on here at £5 a time would be pushed to buy a trailer let alone run it around the country, you have to get the unions involved and charge every member. To be honest I haven't a clue how many members there are in UK and Ireland, but you've really got to start talking those figures to even start off. RSPB 1 million members! yes i agree but if "we" start it of ,and word starts to spread to other sites then to the mags what will happen then? maybe jack ,maybe it will work ,and yes the unions should levy every member,as for the rspb membership at 1 million [most of which will have no idea what their money is spent on] a little bit of education might work,like most "big" mobs they hate adverse publicity
Guest Vic Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Phone a friend time is it? Uncle Sam is more interested in Bald Eagles, NOT BALD PIGEONS. LOL.
bewted Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Phone a friend time is it? Uncle Sam is more interested in Bald Eagles, NOT BALD PIGEONS. LOL. dont you ever have anything good to say or is it just your scouser humour ????
Merlin Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 As well as a trailer I would go down the road of a full page or half page advertisement in a National paper regarding the facts of these Raptors,join forces with songbird people,tippler men,roller men, gamekeepers,landowners,but first of all educate them in the facts,regarding the overpopulation of these Raptors and the detrimental effect they have on our pigeons,and song birds,educate the public as to where their donations regarding songbirds are going,to the already overpopulation of the predators thats killing them,with a great big picture of a sparrowhawk,stripping a thrush,should go well with the cornflakes,let the public know they are being duped by the R.S.P.B.

jimmy white Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Jimmy fur christ sake man, You of all people. I would have thought with all yer experience you would have been behind the cause. Dinnae give up till yer own yer last breath, that's what I say. Ye might jist get a wee surprise wi Joe public. i think if you look at it deeper [i would certainly never give up , never , never , never,, ] we are fighting a massive battle , many things have been tried,,,and failed ,,,,,,,,,,,it needs a massive army to beat them , and really that means , the highest of polititians ,the greatest lawyers ,,, the highest of law judges ,,,,,,,,,and big big money. ,,,,,,,,,,but no, never give up
ChrisMaidment08 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 Sorry Chris, your intentions are great, but you have to get every union behind you. The SHU have tried up here. Could someone confirm if any sparrowhawks have been legally relocated. no because they stopped the trapping go on tooth claw it tells you
Guest Vic Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 my dads generation were told that if the whole of europe could not stop the nazi's ,who were they to try, but try they did,would you care to contribute instead of telling us all [again] how we will fail? My last reply was referring to this.
Merlin Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Sorry Chris, your intentions are great, but you have to get every union behind you. The SHU have tried up here.

Bluedoo Last I heard this had been postponed,due to proximity of their breeding season,whats the betting it will never be effected now.

Guest Vic Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 Seeing there has been a recent "change" in the hierarchy of the rpra, with the new boss being an ex RAF man. Perhaps, he may have a secret weapon to obliterate other "HIGH FLYERS"? LOL. ARMY, AIRFORCE? Next one a NAVY ADMIRAL MAYBE? LOL.

ChrisMaidment08 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Posted August 9, 2008 wellas we areon here we could persuade richard to set somthing up and put 3 lots of birds a time and sellthem then another 3 and so on with some one monitoring who bought what how much money being paid to appointed tresurer rose

BLACK W F Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 this would be a great idea if we could get a couple of good videos made showing from the birds pairing to flying to racing and another showing the hawk attacks ie sparrow hawk eating the bird alive also percy what damaged done when he attacks also them taking the song birds ect this might seem like a horror film but its the only way to get it across
Merlin Posted August 9, 2008 Report Posted August 9, 2008 this would be a great idea if we could get a couple of good videos made showing from the birds pairing to flying to racing and another showing the hawk attacks ie sparrow hawk eating the bird alive also percy what damaged done when he attacks also them taking the song birds ect this might seem like a horror film but its the only way to get it across This is a marvellous idea,if its done proper,a professional film made and sold/given to interested T.V media showing what has been suggested above,but with the human angle being paramount,use the facts compiled by R.S.P.B which are very contradictory,and show little Johnny/Susan enjoying all aspects of their birds,with the almost eventual outcome their favourite being torn asunder by a perigrine/sparrow,with them waiting at their loft for it,and its youngsters in nest bowl,its a sure fire winner if you want to educate the public, I would like to see a three person committee,spearheading this,my own choice would be Chris,Rose,and Dave aka Invalidusername,if they are agreable,we have got hold of something here,keep it going.
