I am a non fancier who found a young bird in my garden on Monday.

After contacting the owner sadly he cant get it picked up to be taken to Fife ( i think )

So I now have a hen ( thats what he told me ) who is in need of a new home.

Im in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Any takers ?

Looked after her all week and just to release her and see her lost somewhere else does not seem to be that fair.

Come on someone newcomer to the sport must want to take her in ????? :o

As a non fancier yourself, the owner of the bird technically has an obligation to retrieve the bird from you. However as he as asked for it to be released, he is quite within his rights and therefore you should release it. It was probably lost whilst racing and since you have cared for it for the past week it should have made a full recovery and should find it's way back home.

 

Thanks for your concern and for caring for the bird.

Wait a minute folks, I am currently looking at ways of getting it collected, see my post , and if I can,t I will get a courier, unfortunately someone on here was going to collect it for me 2moro, but only found out an hour ago they can,t, so since, I have been in touch with the gentleman who has it, and also trying to get in touch with others who previously offered help. as my thread will prove, so calm down, and stop jumping to conclusions :-/

Hey this bloke is trying everything he can so dont get at him.

I just said I would try and find someone who would take it in for him.

 

Thank You Gavin, some people, get a bit excited on here, who don,t know the full story :-/

Brian, there has to be someone around that area that can help you surely, try Darnaway on here, he was much helpfull getting ma bird back up the road for me with no cost.

the bird was supposed to be flying from Kelso to Fife and ended up in Newcastle. Do you think it will find its way home ???

Sapper - I know 100% you have been trying to get it sorted mate.

Yes m8, a few members did offer, unfortunately the one I chose, no longer can do it, so I have posted on my original thread asking for help again, however as I said if need be I will get a courier even if it does cost £45, I am fully aware of my responsibility to collect my youngster, and have been in the sport since 1994 and have always done what I can to get my own and others , birds back, unfortunately some on here just jump in feet first and start demanding, "REPORT THEM" :-/

That,s the million dollar question, our race this week is from Otterburn, quite near by, so if she had made it home last week, thats where she would be going from on Saturday :-/

O k folks, all is sorted, the bird is being collected, end of :-/

 

Got home from work 5pm eventually got on laptop to find my previous plans had fallen through, contacted the non fancier to explain, and within 1hour approx, had successfully rearranged collection, so for those that wanted me reported and reminded me of my responsibilities, BEAT THAT :P Hope this is the end of this now ;)
