europa birds are set to go sun

[Guest]

watch this space this happened in another 1 loft race in 2000 they changed the rules over nite and kept the race open for 6 days what a load of nonsence there were only 13 birds at close of race which was 10 am next day they should have shared all the money in my mind when they extended it to fill the prise money the boy who through my bird over the fence was not a fast runner i was just out side the money only kidding about over the fence but who knows

just read all the posts these guys that liberated the birds should be reported for animal cruelty

and i hope that is the end of europa one loft races

[andy]

Didn't he offer you a share to drive it down Andy?

 

No he didnt and I dont agree with cheating, unlike many more out there.

[ChrisMaidment08]

see the one being picked up has anyone already done that???

[Guest strapper]

id wait for most of the birds to arrive and set another date from say 250mls in a better lib day say in 2 weeks.

all people who bought tickets will have a free  or reduced entry.

this would be a much better idea in my opinion.

Andy, why did you report it to the owner and not Europa, surely they should be arranging collection or maybe the owner will just collect it and keep it himself!

[ChrisMaidment08]

good point strapper

[pjc]

If you done that strapper it maybe agreeable to everybody until one of the birds dropped on the loft and they are denied the prize money as the bird may be sent again to the replacement race and not score!

[ChrisMaidment08]

another good point cancell race altogether

My worry Bart is it would have to many Knock on effects for the rest of the sport of pigeon racing.

why cancel every one still has the same chance

[ch pied]

if it was a 1 day race , that should rule out any hookery , birds being driven down to loft , going by post's on this thread about weather , a very bad call , to lib

[ChrisMaidment08]

These birds all transferred to europa or do they stay in their owners name

lots still in owners name were last year and year befor

[jimmy white]

 

Have you reported these two strays? at least it would let Derek know that the birds are in the lothians, Derek's number is 07810 323827

 

these two birds are not strays ,, they are birds actively competeing in an open race , which is still on the go , its up to the fanciers decision as to when to release these birds ,ie birds condition, and weather ,it should be sufficient  for derick to know just this, there are many of these pigeons in the lothian area ,, there is no need at this time for derick to have any knowledge of ring nos,etc untill of course the race is over

sorry to say thats true, i had one in about 5 years ago [and i live in north herts] the bird was in the owners name, and boy was he hacked off,as an add on do you remember the thread about taking rubbers [ets rings] off strays,how many will make it "home" without ets rings on?

[ChrisMaidment08]

im going back to black noone has noticed i got it ;D ;D ;D

If a pigeon enters my loft it does not belong to me it is a stray, I still think Derek should know where te pigeons are, no-one mentioned ring numbers.

[Guest chrisss]

i think they get sold at auction if i am right the min bid is £100

[ChrisMaidment08]

 

so if they get lost once you send them they are still the owners responsibility to get them back to the europa loft   just as a matter of interest what happens to these birds then after this race if they return

 

dereck gave me some for charity auction with owners permission

Very true Jimmy

Do you think im stupid. I reported to Europa through a mate that was at the race, who contacted the owner, who was also at the race, dingal!

[pjc]

the owner could claim they lost the bird and claim it back if its not transfered!

[ChrisMaidment08]

so if the birds are auctioned off after the race and the birds are still in the owners name surely the money that they get is the owners  :-/

 

no rose if bird gets less than 30 the money goes to one loft as they give you cridit for next year they do not write cheques under 30

[Merlin]

 

Whos to say these birds are going to get in in numbers to morrow,birds being lofted 60/70 miles from lib site after hours on wing,strikes me as a disaster,again these birds looked like they were just the supporting act for to day,"commodities"nothing else,no wonder pigeon racing gets such bad press,pigeons welfare should always come first,not in this instance it appears.
