RPRA Rings painful for young uns?

[Guest frank dooman]

why do we pigeon fancies allways think we know better than the birds cant see that ring causeing any probs yes a bit concerned about the quality of the ring  and the posiblity  of it spliting and thats without trying to remove the lugs but i think some are jumping the gun what if you change to one of the ets that are only useing that type of chip and you have removed the lugs your stuffed give them a chance and if there is a prob simple just change them

why ring them with rpra rings when you are a member or the whu  :-/. and by the way i am not a member of the goon squad i,m just asking a legitamate  question  :-/ :o

It's my business who I choose to ring my birds with, never said you were a member of the goon squad, everyone knows who they are.

The lugs must be causing 'a problem' otherwise RPRA wouldn't agree to them being taken off. Good that users share information & experience with others.

 

I B  ,  most of the fanciers were shouting about the lugs even before they had even used them ,  and some before they had even seen them ,

 

having seen a good lot of yb with them on there has been no problems encountred so far

I was ringing a few young ones and checked them for throwing the rings just in case and lo and behold two of them had, it seems they don't like them lumpy ets edges on the new style rings as they are probably digging into them in the nest.  Might be best advised to double check every day til they can't come off no more.       Has anyone else had any problems with them?

 

A wee bit tape round them m8.

Any one can ring birds with whatever rings they want as you say , but why use rings if you think they are hurting your babies in the nest.

 

By the way who is the goon squad  :-/ :-/

Thanks Delboy, I did work out how to keep them on by using a cotton wool twist to keep them on, won't harm the doos and only need to keep them on for a couple of days and twist them off again, by then their feet are like dinosaurs.   Good idea though mate.

correct robert the rpra officals must now wish they had gave the members a chance to comment about them prior to them passing that way if they do f--- up they could not get the blame but thats what we put them up there for and they are only human remember its 2/3 of the ets manufactures that have design,d them for their chips the union is only there to make sure they can not be tampered  with

Then why have RPRA authorised removal of these lugs? I've seen one of that type, but I'll be double-checking tomorrow that it is another type that SHU are introducing in 2011.

And for the second time i answered your question simply , :-/

 

its you that seems to have the mountain  :-/        attached to your rings   :

[Fair Play]

It may have been better to leave the ring as it was and for the ETS manufactures to make a clip ring to attach if you want to use ETS then there would have been no outcry. Everybody happy ;)

[tjloft]

I have found no probs with them so far - they are just a ring!!!!

[greenlands]

Yes.

 

 

[Guest bigda]

so it has come about then,   nothing to do with the ring  just upset about having then,     thats all and  want to  destroy them as a protest,   as you dont have ets all of  a sudden them   rings are the problem,   i think you shouldent  be made to  damage them,imo  get  other rings  then.  as if it came about through   your  death or such and your doos all  had there  rings damaged,   you birds are going to be  worth less to your family young in particular

of no use to sell to ets flyers  bigda as it is

I believe all the ETS companies still use the large ets ring so no problem,if you have Bricon you have 3 or 4 differant choises of ring so again no problem if you cut the lugs off.

 

[PIGEON_MAN]

Nothing at all RPRA rings are about the same price as last year.
