Pigeons on TV

[Guest bigda]

Actions speak louder than words, I don't think you will change anyone's perception of us or our pigeons by "telling" them anything. People see pigeons with rings on their legs in town squares, that translates as pigeon fanciers not being responsible. Just like when they see a dog taking a crap in the park = irresponsible owner. Full stop.

 

i am not worried about anyone, other than the rpra perception mate  ill tell you this mate the people who  show the streeters

go out there way to find the ugly"s  "c " they can find  to show and should they  choose to film one with a ring on it, it would make them look dumb. as the condition  dose not portray the  effect,  but  some day,  you might find it in your self to give this your total support  but don"t worry your self about our plight

The tv program is seen by a minority, pigeon fanciers are a minority, to a non-pigeon fancier, one pigeon is pretty much like the next, they just don't differentiate. I'm not talking about a few people who saw something on tv, I'm talking about the people who see damage caused by pigeons on a daily basis, who see the figures, the expense, of trying to keep them off buildings. Perhaps you ought to concern yourself with their perception, because if it ever finds its way into parliament again, they will be voting for the guy who takes it there. That's all.

why do you bother about  the pigeons on the buildings  the fact here is  as you say the public  cant differentiate between ,both that is  our fault, for not  advertising the difference  and drumming it in enough  that they are different, and if we are to pay the piper we shall call the tune that i have no doubt,  as  every  one  knows  the more you show the more will be more understanding,  the difference and thats what it will take the advertising  moneys, will come from the  feed merchants and studs  and from all who make a living from pigeons  and seen your are concerned about Parliament  ask them this if the pigeon man goes who fills there place when it comes to charity,  hope you find this piece of information informative enough but will let you know if your  assistance be required .

cheers mate this is going to be a struggle  sad as it is, how Manny fanciers, are  going to ask for this  to be mentioned at there agm or to there affiliations, hope there are some out there with the  pigeons  welfare at heart that can get this  off the  ground  and started   maybe the new boss might take up the challenge  and set a precedence for the RPRA IN THE YEAR 08

i thought the programme was quite good ,especialy for non_fanciers ,,ive had a few neighbours ,friends etc, tell me they found it very interesting .

 

im sure if they made a prog, on the war pigeons in relationship with the modern day fanciers , and the races they compete in ,i,e distance , most non fanciers would be amazed , off course it would be handy to mention that the hawks invariably caught some of these pigeons , and allthough many lifes were saved because of our winged heros, many more might have been saved because of the hawks, killing the messenger pigeons carrying  the vital messages,,,,,of course these hawks have multiplied in their hundreds as they are protected, but still killing racing pigeons ,maybe flying 600 miles only to be killed maybe a mile from home :-/ :-/ :-/
