lovely morning for racing ..but oh no!!!

[Guest strapper]

well i got up this morning with anticipation of my 1st race ,looked out the window lovely day not a cloud in the sky ..thought great...got up went out the garden...only to find next door neighbour a club m8 who hadnt sent...has only 9-10 birds still out on his house roof! >

 

this isnt the 1st time this has happened ..because it was his step daughter last year that stopped me taking possibly 1st 3 in the fed!...with her banging on the fence and shouting at the dog as the birds arrived together.

then this year she did it again in o/birds.

so now im pretty p/off considering my neighbour isnt racing this year.

there will be words later!!!

[Guest strapper]

just went back out ..just noticed a further 6 on the loft roof too.

[pjc]

he must have left the loft open!

next time you send get up before its light and go and shut his loft up.

[Guest mick bowler]

I was going to send to my first race but west gale force winds here.............AGAIN!

[Guest strapper]

hi phil...nah he leaves them out over night..too flipping  lazy to walk 4-5yrds to call them in and shut the door up on them.

ive just been out the back garden slamming ...well noisely closing my loft doors...and now it looks like he,s got up and only 2 birds out....his loft door is open.

 

thing is phil we discussed the race yesterday after he came home from work and he said give him a shout to watch my birds come home.

nevermind..he,ll want me to fetch him corn this week when i go get some....guess what ...ill have no room to get any for him!

Hi strapper that just is`nt on especially if he knew you were raceing, i`d do my nut , go round there when we know the birds are up and ask nicely at first it may have been a mistake let`s hope so, best of luck.

[pjc]

i've got a neighbour does the same, to lazy to go and shut the traps at night so birds come out at first light. but all the birds will be in the loft to roost overnight so by shutting it 1st thing they won't come out!

[Guest strapper]

hi kev m8...he,s always leaving them out...even told him about it recently , because they were out when i was letting mine out in the morning...only good thing is , mine wouldnt drop to them when exercising.

he hasnt flown for 3 years but still pays his club fees.

breeds ybs but never trains or races them.

had one of his youngbirds over yesterday...it was that full of lice it could have been a red grizzle.

went on holiday last year they did...me and my m8 noticed that no one was feeding or watering them...so my m8 jumped over and poured water through the battens on the window of the loft...and threw corn in too....the door was locked.

Thats pure cruelty this guy has no rights in keeping pigeons or any kind of animal by the sounds of it,he needs to be put straight on a few things try to get the backing off the club because you dont need a nightmare neighbour it can make your racing life hell , best of luck. :-/

if you know the way he goin on with his birdswhy dnt u go and report him 2 the governing bodies and that will solve your night mare ov ur birds bein disturbed when exercising or returnin from a hard race i know i would ,,,just a thought  

[blaz]

he is in tow with an other member in your club to give you a bad trap.

[Guest]

So you've sent your birds and this guy knowing your birds are going to come in is putting obsicles in the way?  Your the sec of your club if I remember rightly?  Why don't you look at putting him before your club for ungentlemanly conduct?  

[pjc]

you can't force anybody to confine there birds you can only ask them!

[pjc]

motivated birds shouldn't take any notice of a few others out on the roof.

[Guest strapper]

birds home trapped exellent ..even though he had a few out on his loft roof....still a few birds away.

[jimmy white]

well done strapper, its always a worry when this happens, but usually the birds trap well, good luck, hope your" well in"

[Guest]

 

Dont diasgree that the guy is out of order - We had a similar situation every single week at the old address and in the end the birds didnt bat an eye lid.

 

I cannot see though how a member can be taken up for ungentlemanly conduct for something in which he does on his own property.

He probably can't Chris, I was just trying to help Paul with some ideas, what this guy is doing is clearly not sportsman like and he probably knows that there is a race on?   No doubting the fact he can't be stopped from letting his birds out but if he's doing it with a deliberate view to dispruption that's a bad club-mate and one that needs to be brought to book somehow.

That's one in the eye for the neighbour then Paul, good on you, hope you come in top five places to make the result even better.

surely this is a matter for your club to deal with,  :-/

[just ask me]

as far as i know there is no actual rule in any organisation  against this i know had too look into it myself its up to the club to call him in on it

[Guest strapper]

had words earlier...peacefully,he said his appolgies and will be more alert around race days from now on.

he said he had lost what day it was ...i took it in a peacefull manner and decided to leave it go this time.

hi strapper it must be a nightmare living next to somebody like that,i know how you feel cos ive got a neighbour who never seems to go in his garden but the minute my birds land on my loft hes out there banging and clattering about in his shed knowing full well that it spooks em > as for your neighbour going on his hols without leaving food and water for his birds-well thats just plain cruel and i wouldnt have thought twice about reporting him and would have told him that as well  the fact they are covered in lice probabley means he doesnt treat his birds for anything either  glad to hear u timed in without ant problems though  do u know why he stopped racing?

working till around 6-7pm...no time to bring birds to club etc....3 seasons though without racing and paying for it...dont know why he dont resign till he has time...he aint a trouble maker ,infact is quite a tidy bloke i think its just lazyness on his part .

its just at times his lazyness cause some probs for me.

[JADE]

you cant stop him being lazy but i think if he goes on holiday and makes no arrangements to feed/water birds you should report him to rspca. a couple of days you could leave enough food and water to keep them going but i doubt for much longer
