Roland Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Seems tyo me that if ring or /Wing stamp is used, then the owner wants his birds reported. If not then they don't. Trouble there then, is that when some one sees a ring addie or stamp, they think. 'Ar he wants this back, must fancy te breeding.... bet of good stock' and they train it up. Then a few months later if it has been coming well, and bred a couple of rounds they report it! Then I personally do either one of two things, make out it was of National winners etc, and collect it ... the ... or say 'Good Golly wondered where it had got too, use must have been in a loft in every county, there no more, thought it was like dead like thye rest of that crap family. Never did oat that crap, and not just for me, never known ANYone to have even a half decent bird from them .... ' If they say they like the look and would like to try it, I then say 'Nah I'll have it back mate and do you a favour.... Beside be happy with it's fore parent I guess'. And either fetch or have Amtrack to fetch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Stamp all mine, but never seem to get any calls. Any i get in i always report, even without a stamp. Dave Ditto. have taken two up towards their lofts also this very week -end and today for the owners. Took one 22 miles and met the owner last Thursday with his bird. So I get peeed sometime when they treat you as if your a blumming nuisance. But that's folk I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vic Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Over the years , I have had many Scottish strays land here, especially during the long ones. One particular bird used here, as a half way house, for a few years, and won good money from Rennes in his pre ultimate year.Very,very. few carried a wingstamp.
